Can I Sell My Bloomington House Before Foreclosure?
Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. It doesn't always work, but it works more often than people think.
Yes, you may still have time to sell before the redemption deadline if the sale can close and pay the required debt. Illinois mortgage foreclosures go through court, and the usual redemption deadline is before the foreclosure auction. Paying missed installments and paying the full foreclosure amount are different options. Call us with your sale date and we’ll review the timing with you.
We buy houses in Bloomington and McLean County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Call USA Home Buyers — 888-274-5006How we help you work toward closing
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
We review the property, title and payoff, who lives in the home, and who has the right to sell it. Then we work with the title company on closing details.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate items in the closing figures.
Which sale is on your notice?
An Illinois mortgage foreclosure goes through court. A property-tax sale is a separate process for unpaid property taxes. The notices and deadlines are different. If you have a tax-sale notice too, call us and we’ll go through the timing with 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.
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.
We can review the payoff and title figures with you.
