We never miss a foreclosure. We guarantee it!
There are dozens of web sites selling nationwide foreclosure lists. These sites typically miss 20% or more of the listings. PropertyShark is local and focused. Since we are investors ourselves, we know that the best deals are the ones that others miss. So we make it our business to never miss a foreclosure. We guarantee it. If we miss a foreclosure in NYC, give us the index number, and we'll give you three months free. It's that simple. |

We know NYC because we live and invest here
Our office is at 181 North 11th Street in Brooklyn. PropertyShark was started by a successful Harlem investor who wanted to have the same information that the big investors and developers had. Partners and employees of PropertyShark have successfully invested in foreclosures, pre-foreclosures, short sales, rent-stabilized multi-family buildings, commercial property, coop units, brownstones, and 1-4 family houses. We know the ins and outs of NYC real estate.
We can educate you about the foreclosure process
Just getting started in foreclosures? We can get you up to speed quickly with an online web seminar or an in-person training course. Learn the fundamentals of investing in distressed properties from the initial lis pendens (pre-foreclosure default notice) through the auction and beyond.

Photographs of 95% of foreclosures
That's right — our research is so extensive that we actually go to each foreclosure and photograph it! We get 95% of them within ten days of receiving the foreclosure notice. We are the only service that does this. |  |

Auction results online — know what to bid in the future
We are the only service that goes to the auctions to track which properties sold and for how much. To invest wisely you need to know how much to bid at auction or how much to offer an owner. The point of foreclosure investing is to buy for less than the market. But how much less? You don't want to pay too much because you didn't know what properties really go for. PropertyShark gives you historical auction information so you can invest wisely.
Clarity and Accuracy
Unlike other sites which lump all filings together in one confusing list, we clearly organize the properties by its current stage in the foreclosure process. It's simple and clear. When you go to our Lis Pendens section you only see properties that are in the first stage of the foreclosure process. When you go to our foreclosure lists you will only get properties that are scheduled for auction. Each individual listing is checked for quality and accuracy, so you can be confident that you are getting correct information as it is filed with the clerk of courts.
Timeliness
Foreclosures on PropertyShark.com are updated daily and in many cases new listings are added just hours after being recorded with the clerk, so you can move quickly. Access them online and don't waste time waiting for listings to be mailed to you.
Organizational Tools
Beyond the listings, we provide you with various tools to help you organize the foreclosure investing process. You can keep private notes on properties, view auction calendars, create custom lists, download the listings into Excel for analysis or pdf to take to the auction, view foreclosure frequency maps, filter results by date, lien or location, search sales comparables of similar properties, and view detailed property reports.
Customer Service
Unlike other providers, we have a dedicated Customer Service team available Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm ET. Call us with any questions you may have about any listing at 718-715-1758. We are here to help!

Extensive owner research
Many foreclosures are bought before the auction. Investors or real estate brokers approach the owners directly and make a deal. Or they work with the bank to arrange a short sale. Only PropertyShark gives you the resources you need to track down the owners, especially absentee owners and owners hiding behind LLCs or corporations. We even have tools for phone number search and for mailing lists.
