An Irvine, Calif., auction company hopes to find buyers for 1,800 bank-owned foreclosed homes throughout Florida.

The company, USHomeAuction.com, is traveling the state holding auctions. The first two are scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay in Tampa and Sarasota's Bradenton International Convention Center, then 9:30 a.m. Sunday at the Fort Lauderdale Convention Center.

More than 100 of the homes are located in the Tampa Bay area.

"Despite being in a foreclosure crisis, we still have families and people in the area getting incredible homes at incredible prices because of the foreclosure crisis," said Rick Weinberg, spokesman for the company.
