To report and resolve title issues which may be preventing the closing of a HUD Real Estate Owned (REO) property transaction, please contact the Asset Manager (AM) with jurisdiction over the property. To locate contact information for the Asset Manager please visit the HUD Homestore website at https://www.hudhomestore.gov and click “Help” in the gray tool bar.
HUD, at its discretion, may cancel a sales contract and may return all or a portion of a buyer’s earnest money deposit if HUD is unable or unwilling to remove valid objections to the title prior to closing.
