We calculate foreclosure deadlines. These are people who explain the rest of it well: the numbers, the auctions, and what happens after. We picked them ourselves. Nobody paid to be here.

Ashley Pickens

Real estate broker and auctioneer, Memphis, Tennessee · YouTube: @YourAgentAshley

Ashley has worked in real estate for more than 15 years, and her channel covers auctions, foreclosures and bank-owned (REO) homes. Each month she breaks down the new foreclosure numbers by state and city, and she films real auction days. Her channel is aimed mostly at agents and investors, which is exactly why it helps homeowners: you see how the people on the other side of the sale think.

What we like: she explains the data plainly, shows where it comes from, and keeps it current.
