Evansville, IN / Foreclosure · Vanderburgh County
Can I Sell My Evansville House Before Foreclosure?
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's 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 time to sell before the sheriff's sale if the sale can close and resolve the debt in time. Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the sheriff's sale, an owner can redeem the property by paying the full judgment, interest and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the stage of the case. Paying only overdue installments is not the same thing. A sale needs to close and resolve the debt in time, so get the actual payoff and sheriff's-sale date checked promptly. Selling before foreclosure may help protect any equity you have.
Indiana Code § 32-29-7-7 describes the mortgage-foreclosure procedure. Check the payoff and date in your actual case.

How we help you work toward closing
We review the house as-is and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. You do not need to repair, clean, or clear out the house to ask about a sale. If you choose to move forward, the closing is through a title company.
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's 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.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts. A signed agreement is not confirmation that a sale date changed; use the date on your notice unless the court or sheriff confirms otherwise.
Is your notice about a mortgage or a tax sale?
Indiana mortgage foreclosure is a court case about a home loan and can lead to a sheriff's sale. A Vanderburgh County tax sale concerns delinquent property taxes and is a separate process with its own notice and date. Keep those dates separate: a mortgage-sale postponement does not change a tax-sale date.
If your notice is about property taxes, follow that notice and check the current information with the Vanderburgh County Treasurer’s tax-sale information. Do not use a mortgage-case or sheriff-sale date as the tax-sale deadline.
For mortgage procedure, see the Indiana Code § 32-29-7-7 and the Indiana Court of Appeals opinion in Wells Fargo Bank v. Tippecanoe Associates.
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.
Ask your lender for a current payoff statement. The title company can review it with the title and other closing details, so you can compare the confirmed amounts with the written offer. Any lender decision depends on the property and transaction.
What happens next
- Call or send the Evansville property address and the notice, case number, or sale date you have.
- We review the house as-is and give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, a title company checks ownership, the mortgage payoff, liens, and other details needed for closing.
- We use the agreement to ask for a postponement when needed and work toward closing through the title company. Confirm any changed court or sheriff sale date with the office handling the case.
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.

Can I sell my Evansville house before a sheriff's sale?
You may still have time before the sheriff's sale if a sale can close and resolve the debt in time. Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court.

Does signing an agreement automatically postpone a sheriff's sale?
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's 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.
Is a Vanderburgh County tax sale the same as a mortgage foreclosure?
No. A mortgage foreclosure is a lender’s court case. A property-tax sale is a separate county process with its own notice and date. Follow the tax-sale notice and contact the Vanderburgh County Treasurer for tax-sale information; do not use a mortgage-case or sheriff-sale date as a tax-sale deadline.
What if the mortgage payoff is more than my Evansville house is worth?
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. Get a current payoff statement so the title company can review the figures and the other amounts that may need to be handled at closing. Any lender decision is specific to the property and transaction.
What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?
