Owners of properties in foreclosure unfortunately can present unique challenges. They may be unwilling to allow us access to the property. If they abandoned the property already, they might have overlooked the care of the house for a long time - or even worse, ransacked the house.

For real estate that has reverted to Real Estate Owned, you probably will want it off your hands as quickly as possible. Regardless, you'll still want to consider three ways of determining the value of the real estate at hand:

• As Repaired. Possible market value with the work due to make the home marketable at full market value - consistent with other homes in the neighborhood
• As-is. The market value of the house without any work performed
• Quick sale. With minor investment in repairs - to sell the property quickly, possibly as a "fixer-upper"
