This month, Broward County will join its neighbors to the north and south by moving foreclosure auctions online.
The website, Broward.realforeclose.com, will go live Monday, March 15, and the first auction is set for March 30. Potential buyers must register.
Free training sessions will be held at the Broward County Courthouse, in room 385, from March 16-18. Webinar classes covering the use of the auction site software are available by calling (954) 734-7401. The toll-free number is (877) 361-7325.
This can’t come soon enough. Broward had the third-highest foreclosure rate in Florida for February, according to RealtyTrac Inc. Broward County Clerk Howard C. Forman says his office may be able to auction 1,000 homes a week. In January, just 420 properties were auctioned each week at the courthouse.
Forman says there are more than 5,300 foreclosure cases now, with another 2,000 to be set.
Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties took their foreclosure auctions online earlier this year.
