Where can you access public records for homes going up for foreclosure auction in California?

I am looking for a website or directory that holds all of the homes coming up for auction sale that are under default of loan/foreclosure. One of my properties recently fell through getting a short-term loan mod, so I was hit with a local realtor letter. In the letter, he specified that my loan has a Notice of Default posted, with an auction date a few months from now. Where did he get this information?Where can you access public records for homes going up for foreclosure auction in California?
The county tax records, you can actually sort them by foreclosure activity, including the default.



It is also public record at the court house, but a realtor likely got the information from the tax records.
public access only means you are guaranteed access to the information if you make the trip down to the court house and review the posted foreclosure list. Most state statutes require a listing of the foreclosure sale date and property information to be posted at the county courthouse and/or office of the clerk as well in a local publication (newspaper).



If you are looking for internet access to the foreclosure list a few states have the information available online but others require a payment. You should have also received a copy of the notice of default and therefore should not be surprised anyone else accessed the information. You do not need to join a site to access your own information because this information should have been sent to your attention.



if you are not receiving the information then there is a possibility the lender is in violation of state statutes and you may be able to have the foreclosure action dismissed and/or the sale rescheduled. If you need any additional information I can be contacted directly through Yahoo.Where can you access public records for homes going up for foreclosure auction in California?
County recorder, sheriff's office and the auction must be posted in the local newspaper.

There isn't necessarily a website for "all the homes", but if you are looking at a specific area, work with a Realtor who specializes in foreclosures. He or she should be able to share this information with you, perhaps for a small fee.

Or the most obvious; just call this Realtor and ask him. Most probably he is a specialist in this area.Where can you access public records for homes going up for foreclosure auction in California?
The County Treasurer's Office has the list
