How we help with an Atmore foreclosure sale
Tell us the property address, its condition, and the date on your notice. We review the house as-is, then give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to sell to us, closing is through a title company, which checks title and works through the mortgage payoff and other recorded claims.
Keep following the date on the current notice unless the person handling the sale confirms a postponement.
Mortgage foreclosure and a tax sale are different
A mortgage with a power-of-sale clause may let the lender foreclose without filing a court case. The notice generally must be published once a week for three successive weeks in a newspaper in the county, or in an adjoining county if none is published there. Read the notice for your property and confirm the current sale information with the person handling it. See Alabama Code §35-10-12 and §35-10-13.
A sale over unpaid property taxes is a separate process with its own notice and deadline. Asking to postpone a mortgage foreclosure sale does not change a tax-sale date. If you have a tax-sale notice, follow its instructions and confirm the deadline with the office named on it; the Escambia County Tax Collector is a contact for property-tax bill and balance questions.
After a mortgage foreclosure sale, Alabama gives certain people a limited right to redeem, or buy the property back. For residential property with a homestead exemption claimed in the year of sale, the usual period is 180 days for a mortgage signed on or after January 1, 2016. Other property and older mortgages generally have a one-year period. For qualifying homestead property, missing required notice can change when the clock starts, but cannot extend redemption beyond one year after foreclosure. Redeeming means paying the sale price, interest, and lawful charges; redemption is not extra time to stay in the house. Read Alabama Code §6-5-248 and §6-5-248.1 and get advice promptly about your own deadline.
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.
Ask your lender or servicer for a current payoff statement. If you want to proceed, the title company can compare the confirmed payoff and other claims with the written sale terms. You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Alabama's deed tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
What happens next
- Call us or send the property address and the notice or sale date you have. You can start before you have every payoff or title document.
- We review the house as-is and give you a written cash offer and written terms before you decide whether to commit.
- If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews title, mortgage payoff, tax, and lien details as part of preparing for closing.
- Keep following the date on each notice until the person handling that sale confirms a change. Check mortgage and tax-sale notices separately.
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.

Can I sell my Atmore house before a mortgage foreclosure sale?
Often, yes, if you can close before the sale and the payoff, title work, and timing line up. Keep using the date on your current notice unless the person handling the sale confirms a change.
Is a mortgage foreclosure the same as an Escambia County tax sale?
No. A mortgage foreclosure concerns the mortgage debt; a sale over unpaid property taxes follows a separate process with its own notice and deadline. A change to one sale date does not change the other. For a tax-bill or balance question, contact the Escambia County Tax Collector; follow the office and instructions named on any sale notice.
What if the mortgage foreclosure sale already happened?
Alabama gives certain people a limited right to redeem, or buy the property back, after a foreclosure sale. The period depends on the property and mortgage date; it is separate from postponing a sale and is not extra time to stay in the house. Check the sale documents and speak promptly with an Alabama attorney about the applicable deadline.
What if the payoff is more than my Atmore house is worth?
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. Ask your lender or servicer for the current payoff so the title company can review it against the written sale terms.
What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?
Share the Atmore property address and the notice or sale date you have. We review the house as-is and give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company works through title and payoff details toward closing. The notice and current sale status determine whether there is time to complete a sale.
