Can I Sell My Austin House Before Foreclosure?
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
If a lender has sent a notice or a sheriff’s sale date is set, a sale may still be possible when the payoff, title work and time available allow a closing. Use the date and instructions on your own notice; an agreement by itself does not change that date.
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Austin and Mower County, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

How we can help before a sheriff’s sale
We review the Austin house as-is and put our cash offer and terms in writing before you commit. If you decide to move ahead, we work with the title company on the property and payoff details. Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff’s sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn’t postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
Whether a sale can close depends on the date in your notice, the payoff and title information, and how much time remains. Keep checking with the lender and the contact listed on the sale notice while those details are reviewed.
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.
What happens next
- Contact us by phone or form and tell us about the Austin property and the dates on the notice.
- We review the house as-is and provide a written cash offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews ownership and payoff information. Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff’s sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn’t postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
- The title company works through the closing details with you. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes and your share of current property taxes are separate from that promise and are reviewed 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.
