Rick Crossley is a foreclosure auctioneer who travels around Northern Virginia on Thursdays to conduct auctions outside county courthouses. This particular Thursday, he's standing outside the Loudoun County courthouse. No one is there to hear his pitch, which is not unusual. In the past three months, Crossley has conducted some 200 auctions and has only sold one property.
