Short answer
Yes. HUD accepts bids only from brokers registered with HUD (a NAID number). Pick an agent who has placed HUD bids, knows the owner-occupant priority period and the deadlines on HUDHomestore, and will get the FHA 203(k) or cash plan ready before the bid.
Alicia Kounalis and Daniela Draper place most of our HUD bids; every agent on the team can tour a HUD home with you and read its condition report. REALTOR® Brian Lee Burke, the hardest working man in real estate, leads the team; every file also gets a transaction coordinator, and Keller Williams Realty DTC, LLC supervises every contract.

| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Listing | HUD lists the home on HUDHomestore.gov with a condition report and a disposition code: insured (FHA financing allowed), insured with escrow (repairs under $10,000 financed) or uninsured (cash, conventional or FHA 203(k)). |
| Priority period | At the start of every listing only owner-occupants, nonprofits and government agencies bid. Investors bid after that period closes. |
| The bid | Your HUD-registered broker enters the bid online by the deadline: price, your financing, and a request for HUD to pay closing costs (up to 3% of the price). |
| Acceptance | HUD takes the bid that nets it the most. You then have 48 hours to deliver the signed contract package and earnest money ($500 or $1,000 depending on price). |
| Closing | Usually 30 to 45 days for financed buyers. HUD does not make repairs; an FHA 203(k) loan can finance them. |
Pre-approval (FHA, 203(k), conventional) or proof of funds before the listing you want appears. HUD bids are short windows.

You ask for it in the bid, up to 3% of the price. HUD weighs the request against the price when it picks the winning bid.
On insured homes, yes. Uninsured homes need cash, a conventional loan or an FHA 203(k) that finances the repairs.
