The official source

Where the official Allegheny County list lives

The records behind this list are kept by the Allegheny County Department of Court Records. Many counties let anyone look up a property there for free, and some publish the whole list. Check the office's website for the format and any fee.

The free route is real: for one list in one county, the county office may be enough. What LeadCounty adds is the weekly collection from every office, matching each record to the right property, a likely-to-sell score with reasons, filters, and stacking with high equity (est.). Pennsylvania rules and the Pennsylvania guide explain how the process works.

Why these owners may sell

An owner facing foreclosure has a deadline. Selling before the sale can protect their credit and any equity left in the house.

How to work the Allegheny County list

  • Act early: the further from the sale date, the more options the owner has.
  • Stack with high equity: owners with equity have the most to gain from selling on their own terms.
  • Be respectful and clear; follow your state's foreclosure-rescue and solicitation rules.
The letter to send: in foreclosure ownersFor owners with a foreclosure case or sale notice

Dear [first name],

Public records show a foreclosure filing on [property address]. You may still have more choices than it feels like, and selling before the sale date is one of them: it can protect your credit and the equity you have built.

I buy houses as-is and can close quickly if the timing matters. A free HUD-approved housing counselor can also explain every option to you.
