What findmyforeclosure.com actually is
If you type findmyforeclosure.com into a browser, you don’t land on a standalone company with its own database. It resolves to a Foreclosure.com partner landing page (branded around “Wayne Turner & Foreclosure.com”) that promotes Foreclosure.com’s foreclosure and distressed-property search tools. The page positions itself as a way to find bank-owned homes, preforeclosures, auctions, and foreclosure listings, with updates advertised as happening twice daily.
That matters because most questions people have about FindMyForeclosure—pricing, cancellations, data sources, privacy—end up being answered by Foreclosure.com’s policies and workflows, not by something unique to the FindMyForeclosure domain.
What you’re being offered
Foreclosure.com describes itself as a large “distressed homes for sale” resource, claiming over 1.8 million listings across categories like foreclosures, preforeclosures, bankruptcy-related listings, and tax liens. It also says its data is updated continuously and that it removes listings when properties are no longer available (so people don’t chase dead leads).
On the FindMyForeclosure landing page, the pitch is simple: search by state/city/ZIP, browse “recently listed foreclosure deals,” and get access to discounted or under-market opportunities. It’s aimed at two groups at once: regular buyers looking for cheaper homes, and investors looking for distressed inventory.
One practical note: Foreclosure.com’s own terms emphasize that it is not selling real estate on the site, and it doesn’t endorse vendors who may contact you. It’s basically a paid information-and-lead platform with educational content and tools layered in.
Signup flow, the “free preview,” and what it costs
The signup page promoted from the FindMyForeclosure experience advertises a FREE 7-day preview. But it also states that a credit card is required for account setup/authorization, and that if you don’t cancel before the preview ends, you’re automatically billed a standard monthly subscription of $39.80, continuing monthly until you cancel.
This detail is where many people get tripped up with foreclosure listing sites in general: “free preview” doesn’t mean “no billing relationship.” It usually means “you won’t be charged if you cancel correctly and on time,” while your payment method is still collected up front. Foreclosure.com states that plainly on the signup page.
How to cancel (and how not to mess it up)
Foreclosure.com’s Terms lay out multiple cancellation methods, including:
- canceling inside your profile via a “Cancel Membership” button
- canceling by phone via customer service
- using the Contact Us form (selecting “Cancel Service”)
- canceling through account management links
- special handling for some billing processors (they reference CCBill support)
- mobile app subscriptions needing to be canceled through Apple/Google’s subscription systems
They also publish phone numbers on the Contact page, including a billing line and a customer service line, plus business hours.
If you’re using this kind of service, the cleanest approach is boring but effective:
- cancel inside the account area,
- take screenshots of the confirmation,
- check your email for a cancellation acknowledgment,
- then verify your card statement in the next cycle.
You’ll see complaints online about charges continuing after attempted cancellation on foreclosure listing sites (Foreclosure.com included), alongside positive reviews from users who say it helped them find deals. That mixed pattern is exactly why documentation matters.
What the data is (and what it isn’t)
Foreclosure.com says it sources listings from “hundreds of” lenders, government agencies, and corporate resources, and pushes a high volume of user notifications each month.
At the same time, its Terms include broad disclaimers that listing details come from third parties, may include errors, and should not see the site’s information as a contractual offer. They explicitly recommend independent verification and, for serious purchases, legal counsel.
So, in real-world use, treat the site as a lead generator:
- good for spotting potential distressed properties in an area,
- not a substitute for county records, auction terms, title work, or an inspection plan.
Also worth noting: the Terms include usage limits (like limits on automated or high-frequency viewing), and warnings about scraping, resale, and commercial redistribution of data.
Privacy and marketing: what happens to your info
Foreclosure.com’s Privacy Policy spells out that it collects personal information tied to registration and usage behavior (what you search, how long you spend, etc.). It also states that it may sell or distribute certain individual personal information to other companies (including vendors or related interests) to provide offers, and that if you arrived via a linked partner page, your entered information may be disclosed to the owners of that referring website and other third parties.
That doesn’t automatically mean anything shady is happening, but it does mean you should assume you may receive marketing outreach after signup. If you’re uncomfortable with that, use a dedicated email/phone number for real estate searches, and read the opt-out/unsubscribe options carefully.
Avoiding confusion with foreclosure “rescue” scams
One important distinction: finding foreclosure listings is not the same thing as getting help to stop a foreclosure.
Government agencies warn homeowners that foreclosure rescue or mortgage modification scams often promise guaranteed results, charge fees, or pretend they have special access to your servicer. Real help is typically available through legitimate channels without paying a random third party “to save your home.” The FBI has also warned about foreclosure rescue fraud where scammers convince homeowners to sign over property or pay for bogus help.
So if you’re a homeowner in distress: don’t treat a listing platform (or a “cash buyer” lead) as your first or only option. If you’re an investor: don’t market to distressed owners in ways that resemble the scam patterns agencies describe. Those lines get blurry fast.
Alternatives if you just want foreclosure inventory without a subscription
Depending on what you need, you can often triangulate listings across other sources:
- Realtor.com’s foreclosure browsing pages (good for consumer-friendly browsing, varies by market)
- HUD Homes (government inventory for sale, different process, sometimes limited selection by area)
- Auction marketplaces like Auction.com for auction-style distressed sales
And there’s always the slower but more direct route: county recorder/auction calendars, local trustees, and courthouse notices. It’s work, but you’re closer to primary sources.
Key takeaways
- findmyforeclosure.com is a Foreclosure.com partner landing page, not a separate platform with separate policies.
- The “FREE 7-day preview” still requires a card, and the service says it auto-bills $39.80/month if you don’t cancel in time.
- Cancellation options exist (account button, phone, form, app-store cancellation), but you should document everything.
- Listing data is useful for leads, but it comes with strong disclaimers: verify independently before spending money.
- Expect marketing: the Privacy Policy says personal info may be shared/sold in certain contexts, including partner referrals.
FAQ
Is FindMyForeclosure free?
There’s a 7-day preview described as no charge for the preview itself, but the signup page says if you don’t cancel before it ends, you’re billed $39.80/month automatically.
Do I need a credit card for the preview?
Yes. The signup page says the card is required for account setup/authorization, even though the preview itself isn’t charged immediately.
Is it a scam?
The domain is clearly tied to Foreclosure.com’s partner program, and Foreclosure.com publishes Terms, a Contact page, and cancellation instructions.
That said, online reviews are mixed, including complaints about billing/cancellation and also positive experiences. So I’d frame it as: a legitimate subscription service with common subscription pitfalls, not a magic deal machine.
Does Foreclosure.com actually sell the houses?
No. Its Terms state it sells no real estate or real estate services through the site; it provides information and may connect you with vendors.
What’s the safest way to use it if I’m hunting deals?
Use it to generate leads, then verify: county records, auction terms, title status, liens, occupancy issues, repair costs, and local rules. Foreclosure.com itself warns that the listing information may be uncertain and should be independently verified.
I’m behind on payments and worried about foreclosure. Should I use this?
If you’re trying to avoid foreclosure, a listing platform isn’t the same as foreclosure help. Government agencies warn that foreclosure rescue scams are common, and legitimate help shouldn’t require paying a random third party promising guaranteed results.
