Village of Bellaire, MI / Foreclosure
Can I Sell My Bellaire 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.
Yes. A sale may still be possible if the required payoff or redemption can be completed before the deadline that applies to your property. Michigan mortgage foreclosure auctions are commonly called sheriff’s sales. In a foreclosure by advertisement, six months after the sale is the most common redemption period, but shorter and longer periods apply. Redemption requires the sale amount plus required interest and charges, not just the missed payments. Have a title company or attorney confirm the sale status, exact deadline, and amount before relying on a closing date.

How we help you work toward closing
Tell us the Village of Bellaire or Antrim County address and what your mortgage or tax notice says. We review the house as-is and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to move forward, a title company works through ownership, payoff, liens, and closing details with the parties involved.
For a pending mortgage sheriff’s sale, we use the agreement of sale to ask for a postponement. Signing alone does not change the date on your notice. Keep following the current date unless the lender or sheriff confirms a change.

Mortgage foreclosure and property-tax foreclosure have different deadlines
A Michigan mortgage foreclosure auction is commonly called a sheriff’s sale. In a foreclosure by advertisement, six months after the sale is the most common redemption period, but shorter and longer periods apply. Redemption means paying the sale amount plus required interest and charges—not only the missed payments. Have a title company or attorney confirm the status, exact deadline, and amount before relying on a closing date.
A property-tax foreclosure concerns delinquent property taxes, not the mortgage. It has its own notices and deadlines. A mortgage sale date or postponement does not change a property-tax deadline, and a tax notice does not change a mortgage sheriff’s-sale date. Follow each notice separately and contact the local office responsible for the tax matter.

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 for a current payoff. The payoff, other liens, title details, and time before a scheduled sale all matter when a title company reviews whether a closing can work.
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.
What happens next
- Call or use the form with the Bellaire address and the notice or date you have.
- We review the house as-is and give you written offer terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, a title company reviews ownership, title, mortgage payoff, liens, and closing details.
- Keep following each mortgage or tax notice. The lender, sheriff, or local tax office handling that process must confirm any changed date.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
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.

Questions about foreclosure in Bellaire, MI
Can I sell my Bellaire house before a mortgage sheriff’s sale?
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. A sale may still be possible if the required payoff, title work, and closing can be completed before the applicable deadline. Keep following the current notice and confirm any changed date with the lender or sheriff handling the sale.
What if the mortgage sheriff’s sale has already happened?
Redemption may still be available before the deadline that applies to your property. In a foreclosure by advertisement, six months after the sale is the most common redemption period, but shorter and longer periods apply. Redemption requires the sale amount plus required interest and charges, not just the missed payments. Have a title company or attorney confirm the sale status, exact deadline, and amount needed.
Is a property-tax foreclosure the same as a mortgage foreclosure?
No. Mortgage foreclosure concerns the home loan and may include a sheriff’s sale and a redemption period. Property-tax foreclosure is a separate process with its own notices and deadlines. Do not use a mortgage sale or redemption date to work out a tax matter; follow the tax notice and contact the local office responsible for that parcel.
What if my mortgage payoff is more than my Bellaire 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 for a current payoff so the title and payoff details can be reviewed for your property.
Do I have to pay back taxes or liens before selling to you?
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.
