    The following is a paid review. If you’d like to see your own website or service reviewed, contact me here:

    If you’re looking for Seattle short sales and foreclosure listings, Foreclosure Platform may be just what you’re after. The service provides detailed information (including updated data on auction sale dates, opening bid amounts, postponements and cancellations) on all foreclosures in the Puget Sound metro area, as well as King, Snohomish and Pierce counties. Each report from Foreclosure Platform includes the following details:

    • Property details (with data on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and lot size)
    • Direct links to property tax status, payment history, lot maps, and property sales history.
    • Exterior photographs when available
    • A copy of the recorded Notice of Trustee Sale
    • Zestimates® with a link to the zillow.com property page for each foreclosure listing

    The site can also put users in touch with local real estate professionals and provide referrals to various lenders in the area who specialize in financing for foreclosure situations. Foreclosure Platform also provides resources such as articles that enable users to read why foreclosures are undervalued as well as a glossary of foreclosure terms (click here). Users can register for free and get immediate access to Seattle area foreclosures and short sales, as well as the ability to search the database and store lists.
