The father and son team of Jim and Matt Johnson have relied on Internet marketing to find and inform buyers from all over the world about their specialty of representing buyers in obtaining bank owned homes in Bend.

A buyer first signs up for the company's "New Listing Notification Service." They determine the criteria of the property they are looking for including, maximum price, square footage, bedrooms, baths, lot size etc.

They are then provided a link to their own web site called a "Client Portal". All listings that fit their parameters are loaded into their client portal. Then any new listings or price reductions that fit their requirements are put in their client portal and an e-mail notifies the client the minute a property hits the market.

Buyers can then save or delete the listings in their portal. All listings include color pictures and full details about the property including the amount of annual taxes. The Bend Oregon Real Estate Expert brokers have access to the client portals and can determine exactly what their clients are looking for.

Bank foreclosures that are well priced are selling within the first 30 days they are on the market. Most banks won't consider an offer for the first 5 days of the listing because multiple offers are common. One luxury home in an exclusive golf course community had six offers in the first few days it was on the market. This home was listed for $474,900 and sold in 2006 for $960,000.

Bend Oregon bank foreclosures are selling for approximately half of what they sold for in 2006 and 2007. "There's going to be a lot of money made this year by smart buyers who buy in Bend" said Matt Johnson, Jim's son and partner. "It looks like there will be a good choice of homes coming on the market for the next several months."
