Florida Foreclosure & Bank-Owned (REO) Home Sources

A curated directory of the government agency, bank, servicer, and aggregator sites where Florida foreclosure and bank-owned homes are actually listed.

Show

Government Agency Portals

The big inventory

These agencies own foreclosed homes directly and list them publicly with photos. Owner-occupants usually get a “First Look” window to bid before investors.

Fannie Mae HomePath

AgencyFirst Look

Fannie Mae’s official REO storefront. Search by state, price, beds, and property type with photos and special financing options.

Freddie Mac HomeSteps

AgencyFirst Look

Homes owned by Freddie Mac, generally in better condition than typical distressed properties. Works with FHA, conventional, VA, or USDA financing.

HUD Home Store

AgencyFirst Look

FHA-foreclosed homes sold as-is. Includes the Good Neighbor Next Door program — 50% off list for teachers, police, firefighters, and EMTs in eligible areas.

VA Foreclosures (VRM)

Agency

Department of Veterans Affairs REO properties, marketed through its vendor VRM Properties. Open to any buyer, not just veterans.

USDA Rural Development

Agency

Repossessed rural and single-family homes from USDA Rural Development, browsable by state. Sparser inventory but real bargains in eligible areas.

FDIC Owned Assets

Agency

Real estate and assets the FDIC holds from failed banks. Mostly commercial and land, occasionally residential — worth a periodic check.

Direct Bank & Servicer Sites

Source listings

Lenders publish REO they took back after foreclosure. Inventory is thinner than the post-2008 era and most listings still route to an assigned MLS agent — but these are the official portals. Several Southeast servicers below have meaningful Florida footprints.

Bank of America

Bank

Bank of America’s Real Estate Center with a dedicated Florida page. View REO and bank-owned listings plus financing tools.

Wells Fargo REO

Bank

Wells Fargo’s free REO search by location, price, and property features (beds, baths, size). One of the larger servicer inventories.

U.S. Bank

Bank

U.S. Bank’s official bank-owned residential real estate portal, searchable by state. Contact is through each property’s assigned listing agent.

Regions Bank

BankStrong FL

Regions is a major Southeast lender with a deep Florida presence. Its portal lists bank-owned residential, commercial, and lot/land properties.

Truist

BankStrong FL

Truist (formerly BB&T and SunTrust) carries the old SunTrust Florida footprint. Residential and commercial REO listed with each property’s agent.

PennyMac

Servicer

PennyMac-owned REO searchable by price range, location, and property type. One of the largest non-bank servicers nationwide.

Fifth Third Bank

Bank

Fifth Third’s bank-owned residential listings (commercial on a separate site). Active across the Midwest and Southeast, including Florida.

M&T Bank

Bank

Nationwide bank-owned listings with email alerts and a free buyer profile. Shows available, coming-soon, and auction-bound properties.

Chase & Citi

Bank

Two of the largest servicers, but they route nearly all REO through assigned listing agents and the MLS rather than a public browse page. Easiest to surface via the aggregators.

PNC Bank

Bank

PNC Realty Services publishes a bank-owned catalogue (heavier on commercial and former branches). Residential REO mostly lists with MLS agents.

Third Federal S&L

Bank

Sortable bank-owned (REO) list with photos and the listing Realtor for each property. Smaller footprint but a clean direct portal.

RES.NET hub & local FL banks

Hub

Many servicers (PennyMac, Fifth Third, Carrington and others) post REO on the shared RES.NET platform. Also check Florida regionals — Valley, Seacoast, Centennial — and local credit unions, which often list REO directly and competitively.

Large Servicers — No Public Portal

Find them via auction/MLS

These big mortgage servicers hold plenty of Florida REO but don’t run a consumer “browse our homes” site anymore. Their foreclosed homes are disposed through the auction marketplaces and the MLS — so you find them on the platforms in the next section, not on the servicer’s own page.

Mr. Cooper / Nationstar

Servicer

One of the largest U.S. servicers. REO historically ran through Xome (its former affiliate) and now surfaces on Xome, Auction.com, and the MLS.

PHH / Ocwen

Servicer

PHH (which absorbed Ocwen) disposes REO largely through Hubzu (Altisource) and Auction.com.

Carrington Mortgage

Servicer

Carrington posts REO on the shared RES.NET platform and through the major auction sites.

Shellpoint / NewRez

Servicer

NewRez (d/b/a Shellpoint) sells foreclosed homes via auction platforms and county foreclosure sales rather than a public listings page.

Flagstar Bank

Servicer

Flagstar holds REO in several states with the listing agent named per property; inventory mainly surfaces on the MLS and aggregators.

SPS / SLS / Rushmore / Freedom / Fay / Cenlar

Servicer

Select Portfolio Servicing, Specialized Loan Servicing, Rushmore, Freedom Mortgage, Fay Servicing, Cenlar and similar shops have no public browse portal — their REO appears on the auction marketplaces and MLS.

Aggregators

Deepest live FL inventory

These pull REO and foreclosure listings from many banks and the MLS at once — usually the fastest way to see the most actual Florida homes in one place.

Auction.com

Aggregator

Foreclosure and bank-owned listings statewide, including live auctions. Florida bank-owned view linked directly.

RealtyTrac

Aggregator

Bank-owned, pre-foreclosure, and auction listings searchable by county and ZIP. Strong for drilling into specific Florida markets.

Redfin

Aggregator

MLS-fed foreclosure listings — roughly 1,800 active in Florida and refreshed every 15 minutes. Tour and offer through Redfin agents.

Zillow

Aggregator

Bank-owned and foreclosure filter pulling straight from the MLS — where most bank REO actually lands today.

Homes.com

Aggregator

Florida foreclosure listings including Fannie Mae HomePath properties, with photos and full property detail.

Foreclosure.com

AggregatorPaid

Subscription database focused purely on distressed and bank-owned inventory, including pre-foreclosures and tax liens. Free trial available.

Hubzu

Auction

Online auction marketplace that handles REO and foreclosure inventory for several servicers. Register to bid; search by state.

Xome

Auction

REO and foreclosure auction platform with bank-owned listings nationwide, filterable to Florida. Register to bid.

RealtyBid

Auction

Online REO and foreclosure auction platform used by several servicers and lenders. Search by state, register to bid.

Realtor.com

Aggregator

Pulls from the broadest set of MLSs, so bank REO listed by an agent shows here. Filter to foreclosures statewide — a good catch-all alongside Zillow/Redfin.

Worth knowing: the individual bank sites are far thinner than they were after 2008 — today the large majority of bank-owned homes in Florida are listed by an assigned agent on the MLS. For sheer volume, the agency portals (HomePath, HomeSteps, HUD) plus the aggregators will show you many more actual homes than checking each bank one at a time.
