The preREO Mission and Vision

Our mission is to provide unprecedented access to distressed mortgages and help to keep these assets in the hands of individuals who want to make a profit and improve their local communities.

What is preREO

preREO where we get our name is a delinquent mortgage which is in foreclosure (or eligible to be referred to foreclosure).

preREO empowers real estate investors with the ability to acquire discounted non-performing mortgages directly from institutions. Historically, institutions have sold their non-performing loans to other institutions at a discount.

We make real estate investing easier for everyone by bringing noteholders and community investors together, allowing for more efficient selling, maintenance and improvement of these challenged properties.

Why We Created preREO

More than 1.5 million vacant single-family homes and condos were scattered across neighborhoods in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2019. We strive to help institutions sell distressed mortgages to real estate investors who can better optimize the assets and improve communities nationwide.
