Upcoming Foreclosures

How to find out who to contact on a bank owned home?

My dad owns some land, he sold a small piece of it to a family friend. All was well, until the friend sole the property to some really tacky people. The house is now an REO house, which means that it is foreclosed and the bank is the owner of the home, I know that much from looking online. My dad would really like the property back, but every time he goes to see who contact, their is so much red tape, with lenders and buy-backs and stuff...how do you find out the person to contact on a foreclosed bank owned house? Please, pretty please, if you know about foreclosures, from a banking perspective in the U.S, any info would be helpful...thank you.

1. Your dad needs to talk with the county property tax collectors office. They have the bank that owns the property on file. Then call the banks realestate asset officer and speak with someone in that office. Most likely, he will have to go through the realestate agent the bank uses to dispose of foreclosed properties.
