Eaton, OH › Foreclosure

Can I sell my Eaton house before 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. You may still be able to sell before the sheriff's sale if the payoff, title, case status, and time to close line up. Even after the 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 Rev. Code §2329.33. Selling first may help protect any equity you have.

Which sale is named in your notice?

Mortgage foreclosure

An Ohio mortgage foreclosure goes through court. Under Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33, you can generally stop the sale before the judge confirms it—even after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs, and applicable interest with the court clerk.

Property-tax sale

A tax sale concerns delinquent property taxes, not a lender's mortgage. It has its own notices and deadlines. Follow the date on your notice and call the office listed there if you need help with the next step.

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 talk through the lender payoff with you as we work on the sale.

What happens next

  1. 1. We review the house and notice

    Call us or use the form to tell us what is happening with the house and sale. We’ll talk through the payoff and the time you have.

  2. 2. You review written terms

    We give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. You decide whether to move ahead.

  3. 3. Title and payoff are reviewed

    If you want to move ahead, we work with the title company on title and payoff details and use the agreement to ask for a sheriff’s-sale postponement.

  4. 4. The sale closes through title

    We work toward 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.

Foreclosure questions in Eaton, OH

Can I sell my Eaton house after a mortgage-foreclosure case starts?

Yes. Ohio mortgage foreclosures go through court. You may still be able to sell before the sheriff’s sale. Selling first may help protect any equity you have.

Can I still act after an Ohio foreclosure auction?

Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33 generally lets you stop the mortgage-foreclosure sale before the judge confirms it—even after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs, and applicable interest with the court clerk. That court step is separate from selling the house.

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

No. A mortgage foreclosure is about a lender’s mortgage; a tax sale is about delinquent property taxes. Each has its own notices and deadlines. Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33 covers mortgage foreclosure. Follow the date on a tax-sale notice and call the office listed there if you need the next step.

Where can I check Preble County sheriff-sale information?

The Preble County Sheriff’s Office posts official sheriff-sale information. See the Sheriff’s Sales page for current sale information, or call the office at 937-456-6301.
