Can I Sell My Eagle River 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.

Wisconsin mortgage foreclosure goes through court. You may still have time to sell if the sale can close and resolve the debt. If the sheriff's auction has already happened, the right to redeem can continue until the court confirms the sale—but redeeming requires the full foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes, not just overdue installments.

How we help

We review the offer and work toward closing

Tell us about the house, payoff, and where the case stands. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from those costs.

Which sale are you facing?

Mortgage foreclosure and property-tax matters follow different processes

Mortgage foreclosure

Wisconsin mortgage foreclosure goes through court. After a sheriff's auction, redemption can remain available until the court confirms the sale, but it requires payment of the full judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes—not just missed payments.

Delinquent property taxes

A property-tax matter follows a separate process and has its own timeline. The Vilas County Treasurer handles county delinquent-tax matters. The City of Eagle River Clerk/Treasurer’s Office handles City property-tax bills.

Wisconsin mortgage-foreclosure sources: Wis. Stat. ch. 846, including §§ 846.10, 846.101, and 846.13 and Security State Bank v. Sechen, 2005 WI App 253, ¶¶ 8–11.

What happens next

Know the written terms before you decide

  1. 1. Tell us what is happening

    Call us or use the form to talk through the property and foreclosure timing.

  2. 2. Review a written offer

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

  3. 3. Check title and payoff details

    If you want to proceed, a title company reviews the title and payoff information so the closing plan can account for the actual property and case.

  4. 4. Work toward closing

    If you decide to move ahead, we work toward closing on the written terms. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

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.

Questions about foreclosure in Eagle River, WI

Can a sale agreement postpone my Wisconsin sheriff’s sale?

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. You may still have time if the sale can close and resolve the debt.

Can I still redeem my Wisconsin house after the sheriff’s auction?

The right to redeem can continue after the sheriff’s auction until the court confirms the sale. Redeeming requires full payment of the foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes—not just overdue installments.

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

Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we’ve gotten lenders to come down before.

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

No. A mortgage foreclosure is a court case that can lead to a sheriff’s sale. A delinquent property-tax matter follows a separate process and timeline. The Vilas County Treasurer handles county delinquent-tax questions; the City of Eagle River Clerk/Treasurer’s Office handles City property-tax bills.
