1995 U.S. Real Property Sales List

The U.S. Real Property Sales List is published by the Federal Property

Resources Service (FPRS) of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).

Operating under the authority of the Federal Property and Administrative

Services Act of 1949, FPRS is a nationwide organization engaged in selling

property no longer needed by the Federal Government. FPRS is staffed by real

estate professionals and markets property in all 50 states, the District of

Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific territories.

Properties vary widely in value and type. A single issue of the U. S.

Real Property Sales List may describe former Federal office buildings or military

family housing complexes, small parcels of unimproved land, high-rise building

sites in large cities, major acreage for commercial or industrial development,

and warehouses. Individual residences confiscated by law enforcement officials

are also frequently available.

As a representative of all taxpayers, GSA is required by law to obtain

fair market value for any property it sells. Generally, major properties are

sold at auction, and less expensive properties are disposed of by sealed bid.

In either case, bidders are required to place a bid deposit. Sealed bids are

made on a special bidding form. The bids are opened on a specific date, and

the property is awarded to the highest bidder at or above fair market value.

FPRS has four regional sales offices. Therefore, the U.S. Real Property

Sales List is divided into four sections, with sales properties listed by

state and city or county. A map shows the states covered by each regional office.

FPRS also has two field offices, and some of the listings ask you to contact

these offices. For additional information about property being offered or

about the real property sales program, write or phone one of the regional or field

offices. Addresses and telephone numbers are at the back of this booklet.

If you would like to receive the next issue of the U.S. Real Property

Sales List, complete the form in the back of the booklet and mail it to the

Consumer Information Center.

To receive notices of sales of individual properties, complete, detach,

and mail the form in the center of the booklet.
