How we help you work toward closing
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
A mortgage foreclosure and a property-tax sale have different dates
A mortgage foreclosure is a court case about a home loan and may lead to a Lake County sheriff’s sale. A property-tax sale follows a separate county process for unpaid taxes and has its own notice and date. The postponement statement above is about a mortgage sheriff’s sale, not a property-tax sale. If your notice is for unpaid property taxes, follow its date and contact the Lake County Treasurer.
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 use the form with the house address and sheriff’s-sale date from your court notice. We’ll talk through the house, payoff, and time available with you.
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
We work with the title company on title and payoff details so the sale can close and resolve the debt before the sheriff’s sale.
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.
