Marianne, do you want to just kick things off and just tell us what is a power of sale?

So a power of sale is when a homeowner will default on their mortgage and the lender has the legal right to sell the property.

So they go through this whole court and law legal procedure and they end up getting permission from the courts to now sell the property on behalf of the owner so that they can get their money back,

I think it's an important topic to touch on because situations like this can present really great opportunities for buyers.

And these properties, so what you have to know about a power of sale is that these properties have to be listed at fair market value.


Because what happens is, The lender is entitled to the amount that they are owed plus fees, but they're not entitled to the actual equity of the home.

So the owner of the home is actually entitled to the equity after the sale goes through.
