Canton, OH / Foreclosure
Can I Sell My Canton House in Foreclosure?
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. It doesn't always work, but it works more often than people think.
Yes. Ohio mortgage foreclosures go through court. If you are facing a scheduled sheriff's sale, selling before it may be an option when there is time to complete closing. Selling first may help protect any equity you have. Even after an auction, Ohio law generally lets you stop the sale before the judge confirms it by depositing the full judgment amount, costs, and applicable interest with the court clerk under Ohio Revised Code §2329.33. Call us and we'll talk through the house, payoff, and sale date with you.

Call 888-274-5006How we help with a Canton foreclosure sale
We look at the house and talk through the sheriff's-sale date and payoff with you. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the costs we pay. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Ohio conveyance fee: When you sell to us, we pay it. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Mortgage foreclosure and tax sale are separate
A mortgage foreclosure concerns mortgage debt. A property-tax sale or foreclosure follows a separate case and notice path with its own deadline. A postponement of a mortgage sheriff's sale does not change a separate tax-sale date.
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.
What happens next
- Call us or send the Canton property address. We can talk through the situation even if you do not know every case or payoff detail.
- We look at the house and talk through the sheriff's-sale date and payoff.
- If you choose to sell, we work with the title company on title, payoff, tax, and lien details as we move toward closing.
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.
