Can I sell my Bennington house before foreclosure?

If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it. If you still own the house, you may be able to sell before the deadline in your court order. Vermont courts can order strict foreclosure, which ends ownership when the redemption period runs out without an auction, or a judicial sale. Your order shows which path and deadline apply. A request to postpone a sale does not extend a strict-foreclosure redemption deadline.

How we help you work toward closing

We review the house and the dates in your foreclosure order or notice. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Vermont's property transfer tax and Clean Water Surcharge. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate from those costs.

Which sale is involved?

Town property-tax sale

A Town of Bennington tax-sale notice concerns unpaid Town property taxes. It is separate from a mortgage foreclosure and has its own instructions and deadlines. The Town's Collections office handles tax-sale notices.

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.

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. Your mortgage payoff and share of current property taxes are separate settlement items.

What happens next

  1. 1. Talk with us about the house and the dates.

    Call or send the property address and tell us what your order or notice says. We'll go through the timing and payoff information with you.

  2. 2. Review the written offer and terms.

    You get the offer and terms in writing before you decide whether to move forward.

  3. 3. Work through title and payoff details.

    If you choose to proceed, we work with the title company to review title and payoff details and move toward closing. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

  4. 4. Close through a title company.

    Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. We work toward closing before the deadline that applies to your case.

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.

Foreclosure questions for Bennington sellers

Can I sell my Bennington house before foreclosure?

Often, you can sell while you still own the house if the sale can close before the deadline in your court order. Vermont courts can order strict foreclosure, which ends ownership when the redemption period runs out without an auction, or a judicial sale. Your order shows which path and deadline apply. A request to postpone a sale does not extend a strict-foreclosure redemption deadline.

Is a Town property-tax sale the same as mortgage foreclosure?

No. A Town property-tax notice is separate from a mortgage foreclosure case and has its own instructions and deadlines. Town of Bennington Collections handles property-tax billing questions and Town tax-sale notices.

What if the lender payoff is more than my house is worth?

Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
