Henderson, KY › Foreclosure
Can I Sell My Henderson House in Foreclosure?
Yes. You may still be able to sell before the auction if the mortgage payoff, title work, and closing can come together before the sale date. Kentucky mortgage foreclosures go through circuit court: the lender files a lawsuit, and if it wins a judgment, the court orders a public auction run by the master commissioner.

A mortgage foreclosure and a property-tax sale are different
A Kentucky mortgage foreclosure is a lender’s circuit-court case. After a judgment, the court can order a public auction run by a master commissioner. A property-tax sale concerns unpaid property taxes and has its own notices and deadlines.
For a mortgage case, the master commissioner generally must hold the sale within 90 days after the court refers the case. Two disinterested people appraise the house first, and the sale is advertised at least once between 7 and 21 days before the auction. The court must confirm the sale before the buyer gets a deed. The 90-day period starts when the court refers the case, not when a payment is missed.
If the sale brings less than two-thirds of the appraised value, Kentucky law lets the owner redeem within six months by repaying the sale price plus 10% interest and certain costs. Read KRS 426.530 on redemption, KRS 426.560 on sale advertising, and Kentucky Supreme Court Order 2024-40 on master commissioner sale rules for the legal text.
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.
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.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items.
What happens next
- 1. Contact us. Call or send the Henderson property address. We’ll ask about the date on your court papers or tax notice.
- 2. Review written terms. We look at the house as-is and the details you share, then provide a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- 3. Check title and payoff. The title company reviews ownership, current payoff information, liens, and the requirements for closing.
- 4. Work toward closing. We work with you and the title company toward closing. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items.
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.

Yes. You may still be able to sell before the auction if the mortgage payoff, title work, and closing can come together in time.
How long after a missed payment is a master commissioner sale?
There is no set countdown from a missed payment. After the court refers a foreclosure case for sale, the master commissioner generally must hold the sale within 90 days.
