Every Friday, real-estate broker Brandia Deatherage, of Deatherage & Associates real-estate brokerage, compiles a list of the current foreclosure inventory in Beaufort County. For information on any of these properties; or for information regarding the process of buying a foreclosure, or other distressed property, please call Brandia Deatherage at 252-945-3418, or e-mail her at brandia@beaufortcountynow.com, or brandia@deatheragerealty.com.

    Though Beaufort County Now attempts to be accurate in everything it publishes, the accuracy of the following information is not guaranteed and should not be solely relied upon for making financial decisions. Inaccurate information is, sometimes, found among the data within the foreclosure files, and the attached substitute trustee must be contacted to correct or clarify. The following list is our best effort to provide an outline of what is available. Further research is necessary.

    Distressed properties can be searched online, but the posted selection usually runs behind that which can be procured directly from the Clerk of Court. Some Web sites, such as RealtyTrac and Foreclosure.com, charge a usage fee; so, I have been careful to list only links to those that are free of charge.
