Can I Sell My Fremont House in Foreclosure?

Yes. If a mortgage sheriff's sale is ahead, a sale may still be possible if the required payoff and closing can be completed before the applicable deadline. If the sale has already happened, a redemption period may apply; its exact length and amount depend on the property and foreclosure details. Have a title company or attorney confirm the sale status, deadline, and amount needed.

How we help you work toward closing

Tell us the Fremont address and what notice or sale date you are facing. We review the house as-is and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company works through ownership, payoff, liens, and closing details.

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. Keep following the current date on your notice unless the office handling the sale confirms a change.

Which sale is involved?

Mortgage foreclosure and sheriff sale

Michigan mortgage foreclosure auctions are commonly called sheriff's sales. In a foreclosure by advertisement, six months after the sale is the most common redemption period, but shorter and longer periods apply. Redemption requires the sale amount plus required interest and charges, not just missed payments. That is a post-sale period, not an extension of a scheduled sale date. Have a title company or attorney confirm the sale status, exact deadline, and amount for your property.

Michigan's public-sale and adjournment rules are in MCL 600.3216 and MCL 600.3220. The redemption rules and amounts are in MCL 600.3240.

Property-tax foreclosure

Delinquent property taxes follow a separate forfeiture and foreclosure process. The tax notice has its own steps and deadline; a mortgage sheriff-sale date or redemption period does not set a property-tax deadline, and a tax notice does not change a mortgage sale date. Follow each notice separately and contact the Newaygo County Treasurer about the parcel's tax status.

See the Michigan Treasury property-tax forfeiture and foreclosure guide for the statewide tax process. For mortgage-foreclosure stages, see the Michigan State Housing Development Authority foreclosure guide.

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. The title company can review the payoff, liens, and other closing details against the written terms; any lender decision depends on the lender and the property-specific figures.

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 happens next

Call or use the form with the Fremont property address and the mortgage or tax notice you have. You can call while you are still sorting out the paperwork.
We review the house as-is and give you written offer terms before you decide whether to commit.
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews ownership, the current mortgage payoff, recorded liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. For a mortgage sheriff sale, we use the agreement to ask for a postponement; keep following the notice unless the office handling the sale confirms a changed date.
The title company handles closing under the written terms after title and payoff work is complete.

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. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate amounts handled through closing as applicable.

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 selling before foreclosure in Fremont, MI

Can I sell my Fremont house before a mortgage sheriff's sale?

A sale may still be possible if the required payoff and closing can be completed before the applicable deadline. 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. Keep following the date on your notice unless the office handling the sale confirms a change.

Does signing an agreement of sale automatically postpone the sheriff 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. Use the date on your notice unless the office handling the sale confirms a change.

What if the Michigan mortgage sheriff sale has already happened?

In a foreclosure by advertisement, six months after the sale is the most common redemption period, but shorter and longer periods apply. Redemption requires the sale amount plus required interest and charges, not just missed payments. Have a title company or attorney confirm the property's sale status, exact deadline, and amount needed.

Is property-tax foreclosure the same as mortgage foreclosure in Newaygo County?

No. A mortgage foreclosure concerns a home loan; property-tax forfeiture and foreclosure are a separate process with separate notices and deadlines. Do not use a mortgage sheriff-sale date or redemption period as a tax-foreclosure deadline. Follow the tax notice and contact the Newaygo County Treasurer about the parcel.

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

Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. A current lender payoff and title review can show which figures must be addressed for this property.

Do I need to pay back taxes or liens before selling to you?

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.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
