Cadillac, MI / Foreclosure
Can I Sell My Cadillac 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 before the mortgage sheriff's sale if the required payoff, title work, and closing can be completed in time. If the sale has already happened, redemption may still be available before the deadline that applies to your property. The title company or an attorney can confirm the sale status, exact deadline, and amount needed.

Mortgage sheriff's sale or property-tax foreclosure?
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.
A property-tax foreclosure concerns delinquent property taxes, not the mortgage. It is a separate process with its own notices and deadlines. Do not use a mortgage sheriff's-sale date or redemption period to work out a property-tax deadline; follow the tax notice and contact the county treasurer about the parcel.

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. A title company can review the payoff and other title details for your property.
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 Cadillac address and whatever notice or date you have.
- We review the house as-is and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, a title company reviews ownership, title, mortgage payoff, liens, and closing details with the parties involved.
- Keep following the mortgage or property-tax notice. The lender, sheriff, or county office handling that process must confirm any change to its date.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your 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.
