Answer:
“I’ve seen some San Diego homes advertised as ‘corporate owned.’ What does that mean exactly?”
Answer:
There are two likely explanations:
First, when larger companies relocate a new or existing employee away from San Diego, sometimes they help by having a relocation company purchase the San Diego home, then resell it. My understanding is that if it resells for more, the employee gets the profit.
Second, and more likely, it’s a foreclosure. Some of my bank-clients won’t let me say “foreclosure” or “REO” in my marketing of their San Diego real estate because they feel people will expect to pay less for the home. But they will let me say “corporate owned.”
