Preforeclosure Info. From Lawyers
I work in a Loudoun County Courthouse, which conincidentally, I am trying to find preforeclosure information there and have had no luck. There are lawyers who work in the courthouse who seldomly do business in my office. They know my face, but they do not know me on a first name basis. Is there any way I could talk to them to find out legal advice on finding preforeclosure information in the courthouse? Any help is appreciated.
My suggestion is to forget talking to the lawyers who scurry about. Talk to the people who do title searches. For the price of a lunch, or even cup of coffee, these underpaid experts would gladly point you in the right direction. In fact, they might even do some 'under the table' research for you.
That's Loudon County, Virginia?
You can ask one of the attorneys or ask one of the clerks at the courthouse (the later is just as good)
Ask if they have any info on foreclosure notices (depending on your state they may be called Lis Pendens or Notice of Default) that will tell you who is behind on their mortgage payments and are facing foreclosure.
Hope that helps~
Yes, I work in Loudoun County, Virginia.
TheShortSalePro gave you right advice.
See the clerks and the people who actually do the searches. You will get a lot better response than from the lawyers.
Best of luck

Many states have foreclosure and lis pendens reports available. You have to pay a monthly fee. Good Luck!
Just a suggestion,
I would contact the local Title Company and see if you can get next to anybody that is on the night search team. You see they search for liens etc everynight so they can report in prior to the 08:00 recording time the next day. They have to do this otherwise their title reports would not be accurate and something might slip in prior to a Deed recording at 0800.
Frankly if this is what you want to do, I suggest you stop and go visit the title company and let them educate you. Then I would go to where deeds are recorded and check on their operation. I have a feeling that somewhere there is a picture taken of every deed that records and that is on a tape somewhere and a copy of that tape goes to the title company. So check it all out. Become the authority of that area. Then examine, study and set up an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) and go do it.
