What happens at foreclosure auctions in Rockland County?

Foreclosure auctions move quickly. Buyers must complete due diligence beforehand, including reviewing liens, property condition, and title status. An attorney helps you prepare, bid strategically, and secure ownership without hidden risks.

Why is it necessary?In New York’s competitive market, most sellers require a pre-approval letter before you can view a home or submit an offer. It proves you have the financial backing to close.

What is the difference between pre-qualified and pre-approved?

• Pre-qualified: An informal estimate of what you might be able to borrow.
• Pre-approved: A formal commitment from a lender after verifying your credit, income, and tax returns.

What documents do I need?

• Recent pay stubs and W-2s (past 2 years).
• Federal tax returns (past 2 years).
• Bank statements (past 2 months).
• Photo ID and Social Security number.

How long is it valid?Typically 60–90 days. You can easily renew it by providing updated financial statements to your lender.
