Can I Sell My Danville House in Foreclosure?

Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure 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. You may still have an option if a sale can close and pay the required debt before the applicable deadline. Illinois mortgage foreclosures go through court; the normal redemption deadline is before the foreclosure auction. Your case papers, payoff, and sale date determine the timing. Contact us as soon as you receive court papers or learn of a sale date.

How we help with a possible sale

We review the Danville house as-is and provide a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to move forward, the closing is through a title company. The title and payoff review helps identify the amounts and requirements for this property.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Mortgage payoff, other liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from those costs; the title and closing figures determine the amounts due.

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.

Which sale is on your notice?

A mortgage foreclosure and a sale for delinquent property taxes are different processes. Check the notice name and date first, and keep the deadlines separate.

Mortgage foreclosure

Illinois mortgage foreclosures go through court. In the ordinary case, the redemption deadline is before the foreclosure auction. Illinois law distinguishes paying missed installments from paying the full foreclosure amount to redeem; which amount and deadline apply depend on the court case and its papers.

A signed purchase agreement does not automatically extend the redemption deadline. Review the dates and payoff with the lender and a qualified Illinois attorney, and use the court record for the case-specific status.

See the Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law, including 735 ILCS 5/15-1603, and the Illinois Courts’ approved mortgage-foreclosure forms.

Delinquent property taxes and tax sale

A notice about unpaid property taxes is not the mortgage-foreclosure case. It has its own notice and date, so do not use the mortgage redemption deadline to work out a tax-sale deadline. Check the tax notice and ask the Vermilion County office listed on it which steps and dates apply.

We can review the tax payoff as part of the title and closing work. A proposed home sale does not, by itself, tell you that the tax-sale date has changed; confirm the status with the county using the notice.

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 lender’s written payoff and other lien information with the title company. Whether the sale can close depends on the actual figures and any required lender or court steps for this property.

What happens next

  1. 1. Tell us about the house and the notice.

    Call or use the form with the Danville address, the notice, and any known court or tax-sale date. You can contact us before every detail is sorted out.

  2. 2. Review the written offer and terms.

    We put the offer and terms in writing before you commit, so you can compare them with the payoff, liens, taxes, and other costs.

  3. 3. The title company reviews payoff and title details.

    The title work identifies ownership, payoff figures, liens, and other items that must be addressed for closing. Any court or sale-date change needs to be checked through the proper official records and notice.

  4. 4. Close under the written terms.

    If you choose to proceed and the required items are resolved, the title company handles the closing and applicable payoff disbursements under the written terms.

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.

Common questions about foreclosure in Danville, IL

Can I sell my Danville house before a foreclosure auction?

Yes, you may still have time if the sale can close and pay the required debt before the applicable deadline. Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure 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. The court case, payoff, title, and sale date determine what can happen in your situation.

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

No. Mortgage foreclosure goes through a court case. A sale notice for delinquent property taxes is a separate process with its own notice and deadline. Use the date and contact information on the notice; do not apply a mortgage-redemption date to a tax-sale notice.

What if my mortgage payoff is more than my Danville house is worth?

Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. We can review the written payoff and title information with the offer; whether a sale can close depends on the figures and any required lender or court steps.

Do I have to pay back taxes before selling to 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. Those amounts are separate from the closing costs we pay and depend on the title and closing figures for the property.
