What each brief tells you

Three things, in the same order every time, so you can read one in a minute and decide whether to look closer.

  • Why it reached you

    Each brief lists the reasons it matched your buying pattern, such as a zip code or price band, so you can judge the matching yourself.

  • The math, labeled

    Opening bid, estimated all-in cost and estimated spread against the Auditor's market value. Repairs, closing, holding and resale costs are assumptions, and the brief says so.

  • The risks, up front

    What could go wrong, stated before you bid: an interior nobody has seen, liens that may survive the sale, a thin resale market.
