Akron OH › Foreclosure
Can I Sell My Akron House in Foreclosure?
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. It doesn't always work, but it works more often than people think.
Can you still sell?
Yes. Ohio mortgage foreclosures go through court. You can generally stop the sale before the judge confirms it—even after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs, and applicable interest with the court clerk (Ohio Rev. Code § 2329.33). Selling first may help protect any equity you have.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

How We Help You Work Toward a Closing
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy in Akron and throughout Summit County, Ohio. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Tell us about the property, foreclosure case, sale date, and lender payoff; we can make a cash offer while there is time to work toward closing.
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff and liens are separate from closing costs; we work through those payoff details with the title company.
Mortgage Foreclosure or Property-Tax Sale?
A mortgage foreclosure concerns a lender’s mortgage; a tax sale concerns delinquent property taxes. Ohio’s court-confirmation rule above is for mortgage foreclosures, not tax-sale deadlines.
If the Payoff Is the Problem
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

Can I sell my Akron home after a mortgage foreclosure starts?

No. A mortgage foreclosure concerns a lender’s mortgage; a tax sale concerns delinquent property taxes. The Ohio court-confirmation rule applies to mortgage foreclosures, not tax-sale deadlines.
