Can I Sell My Greencastle House Before Foreclosure?

We review the house as-is and put our offer and terms in writing before you commit. Closing is through a title company, which checks the title and works with the current payoff instructions.

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.

Tell us the address and the sale date shown on your notice. We can review the timing and work toward a closing; the court, lender, and sale deadlines still matter.

A mortgage foreclosure is a court case over a mortgage debt and can proceed to a sheriff's sale. Indiana law describes redemption before the sale by paying the full judgment, interest, and costs, with payment made through the clerk or sheriff depending on the case stage. Paying overdue installments alone is not the same. Read Indiana Code § 32-29-7-7 and check the dates and amount in your own case.

A property-tax sale is a separate county process for unpaid property taxes, with its own notice and dates. Do not use a mortgage-case redemption or sheriff's-sale date to calculate a tax-sale deadline. If your notice concerns property taxes, follow the notice and contact the Putnam County Treasurer's Office about the tax account.

Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

Ask your lender for the current payoff amount. The title company can check the payoff and other recorded liens as part of the closing work; the confirmed amounts and written terms determine whether the sale can close.

1. Call us or send the Greencastle property address and tell us what notice or sale date you have.
2. We review the house and provide a written offer and written terms before you commit.
3. If you accept, a title company reviews ownership, payoff instructions, and title details so the closing can be planned around the actual case dates.
4. We use the agreement to ask for a postponement when needed, then 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.

For official county records, contact the Putnam County Recorder's Office. For a property-tax notice or account, contact the Putnam County Treasurer's Office. For a mortgage case, use the court and sheriff information on your own notices to confirm the current status and date.
