Can I Sell My Fremont House Before Foreclosure?

If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it. Often, yes: you may be able to sell before a mortgage foreclosure sale if the payoff, title work, and closing can be completed in time. Nebraska’s process depends on whether the loan is secured by a trust deed or a mortgage.

How we help

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy houses in Fremont, Nebraska and Dodge County.

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Nebraska's documentary stamp tax. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; the title company reviews the figures for the property.

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.

Nebraska foreclosure: trust deed or mortgage?

Nebraska home loans may be secured by a trust deed or a mortgage. A trust-deed foreclosure can proceed without a court case; a mortgage foreclosure goes through court. Read the notices for your property, because the dates and steps differ.

If the loan uses a trust deed

The trustee records a notice of default with the county Register of Deeds. For a payment default before the loan’s original maturity, you generally have one month after that notice is recorded to cure by paying the amount due plus allowed costs and fees. Principal due only because of acceleration is excluded; principal already due at maturity is not. Certain farm properties have two months, and a later cure before sale can involve different allowed costs and fees.

After at least one month—or two months for the specified farm properties—the trustee can publish a sale notice once a week for five weeks. The last publication must be 10 to 30 days before the sale, and a copy must be mailed at least 20 days before it. The trustee sells at public auction and can postpone the sale by announcing it at the auction. There is no right to redeem the house after a trustee’s sale.

If the loan is a mortgage

The lender must go to court, and a sheriff or court-appointed officer holds the sale. Within 20 days after the court’s decree, you can file a written request to delay the sale. The delay can be nine months; for covered residential mortgages, it is three months when the original final payment was more than 20 years after the foreclosure complaint, or six months when it was more than 10 but no more than 20 years after the complaint.

You can redeem before the court confirms the sale by paying the judgment, interest, and costs. If the auction buyer is not the lender who brought the case, the statute also requires interest on that buyer’s purchase price.

A property-tax sale is a different process

A sale for unpaid real-estate taxes is not the same as a mortgage foreclosure. Keep the notices, offices, and deadlines separate; do not use mortgage-foreclosure dates for a tax-sale notice. Follow the notice you received and contact the Dodge County Treasurer about real-estate tax or tax-sale questions.

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 the lender for a current payoff and have title and closing figures reviewed for the property.

What happens next

  1. Contact us with the Fremont property address and the date on any foreclosure or tax notice.
  2. We review the house as-is and give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit.
  3. If you want to consider selling, a title company checks title and reviews the current payoff, recorded liens, and closing figures.
  4. If you decide to proceed, the title company coordinates closing; the actual sale date and required steps still control.

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.

Dodge County offices for notices and tax questions

For a trust-deed foreclosure, Nebraska law calls for the notice of default to be recorded with the county Register of Deeds. Dodge County lists the Register of Deeds for deed and other recorded-instrument inquiries: 435 N Park, Fremont, NE 68025; 402-727-2735. Use the actual notice and confirm the current sale date with the trustee or lender.

Dodge County routes real-estate tax and tax-sale inquiries to the Treasurer: P.O. Box 999, Fremont, NE 68026; 402-727-2750. Follow the date and instructions on your tax notice.

Questions about foreclosure in Fremont, Nebraska

Can I sell my Fremont house before foreclosure?

If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it. Often, yes, if the payoff, title work, and closing can be completed before the actual sale. The deadline depends on whether the loan uses a trust deed or a mortgage and on the current notices and court status.

How does a Nebraska trust-deed foreclosure work?

A trust-deed foreclosure can proceed without a court case. The trustee records a notice of default with the county Register of Deeds. The cure and sale-notice periods depend on the statute and the property; check the recorded notice and the trustee’s sale notice for the actual dates.

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

No. A sale for unpaid real-estate taxes and a mortgage foreclosure are separate matters with separate notices and deadlines. Follow the notice for the matter you received; Dodge County routes real-estate tax and tax-sale inquiries to its Treasurer.

What if the 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. Ask the lender for a current payoff and have the title and closing figures reviewed for the property. A lender’s decision depends on the specific loan and sale.
