Can I Sell My Eau Claire 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.
Yes, you may still have time to sell before the sheriff's sale if the sale can close and resolve the debt in time. Wisconsin mortgage foreclosure goes through court. After the sheriff's auction, the right to redeem can continue until the court confirms the sale, but it requires full payment of the foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes—not just overdue installments.

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.
While we work toward closing, we review title, the current payoff, and the court and sheriff's-sale timing with the title company and your mortgage company.
Mortgage foreclosure or property-tax sale?
A Wisconsin mortgage foreclosure is a court case brought by the lender and may lead to a sheriff's sale. A property-tax sale is a different process with separate deadlines. We review which notice and process applies to the property as we work through the sale.
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. We review the property, who needs to sign, title, and the current payoff. If you want to proceed, we coordinate title work and the payoff with the title company and your mortgage company, then plan closing around the court case and sheriff's-sale schedule.
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.
Check the local sale information
We buy in both Eau Claire and Chippewa counties. For a property in Eau Claire County, see the Eau Claire County Sheriff foreclosure information. Not sure which county's sale information applies? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.
Wisconsin's mortgage foreclosure statutes and the Wisconsin Court of Appeals decision in Security State Bank v. Sechen explain sheriff's sales and redemption.

Questions about foreclosure in Eau Claire WI
Will signing an agreement postpone the sheriff 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.
What if the sheriff auction already happened?
The Wisconsin right to redeem can continue after the sheriff 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. We review the case timing and payoff as we work toward closing.
What if I owe more than the 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 current payoff as part of the title and closing work.
Do I need to pay back taxes or liens before closing?
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.
What our sellers say
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“I was four months behind on my mortgage and the notices were stacking up. I didn't even know I could sell and still come out with money. USA Home Buyers explained the whole thing, the offer was fair, and we closed before things got worse. Huge weight off my shoulders.”
