REO stands for “Real Estate Owned” This means that the bank or government agency that financed the mortgage has now taken over the property through the foreclosure process. Banks and agencies are overwhelmed with the amount of foreclosures taking place and need to auction these properties as quickly as possible to recover at least some of their losses.
