Columbus, IN › 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.
Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the sheriff's sale, an owner may redeem the property by paying the full judgment, interest, and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the stage of the case. Paying only overdue installments is not the same thing. A sale has to close and resolve the debt in time, so get the actual payoff and sheriff's-sale date checked promptly. Selling before foreclosure may help protect any equity you have. See Indiana Code §32-29-7-7 for the state rule.

An agreement by itself does not change the scheduled date. Keep checking the current date and confirm any postponement with the court or sheriff handling the case.
Indiana mortgage foreclosure goes through court. Before the sheriff's sale, redemption requires the full judgment, interest, and costs; paying just overdue installments is not enough. The clerk or sheriff handles payment depending on the stage. The current case papers and sale date control what happens next.
The Indiana Court of Appeals discussed the process in Wells Fargo Bank v. Tippecanoe Associates.
A tax sale is a separate process with its own notices and deadlines. Do not use mortgage-foreclosure dates or redemption steps to work out a tax-sale deadline. Follow the tax-sale notice and confirm the date and next steps with the office named on it.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
A current lender payoff and title review show what the sale numbers look like for a particular property. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate amounts to review.
Call or use the form with the Columbus address, the date on your notice, and any payoff information you have. You do not need every answer before you reach us.
We put the offer and terms in writing before you commit. You can compare them with listing or other options.
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews title, lender payoff information, liens, and closing documents. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate; the title company reviews how those amounts are handled under the written terms.
Signing alone does not postpone the sheriff's sale. Confirm the current case status and any postponement with the court or sheriff before relying on a changed date.
If the title, payoff, timing, and written terms support it, the sale can move to closing through the title company.
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.
For local real-property records, visit the Bartholomew County Auditor. For recorded-document questions, see the Bartholomew County Recorder. For a sheriff's-sale date or court deadline, use your current case notices and confirm with the court or sheriff handling the case.

A sale may be an option if it can close and resolve the debt in time. Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court, and the actual payoff, title details, case status, and sheriff's-sale date matter. Check your current notices promptly.
No. A property-tax sale is a separate process with separate notices and deadlines. The mortgage redemption rule and sheriff-sale timing on this page do not establish a tax-sale deadline. Follow the tax-sale notice and contact the office named on it.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“I retired from Carle Hospital after thirty-three years as a nurse and decided to move to Arizona to be near my son. My house in Lincolnwood had been good to me but it needed some work I wasn't willing to do. USA Home Buyers made an offer the day after we spoke. I was in Tucson six weeks later.”
“I'd been renting to UIUC students in Old West Urbana for eleven years. Every August it was the same: new tenants, new damage, new headaches. Last summer I decided I was done. USA Home Buyers bought the place tenant-occupied. Closed in twelve days. I'm out of the landlord business.”
“The Champaign County divorce decree required the house to be sold. It's in Savoy, near the university, good area — but we couldn't agree on anything. One offer was already written up for us and both of us just had to sign. Twelve days and it was done. The attorneys took care of the rest.”
