Hillsboro, OH · Highland County › Foreclosure

Can I sell my Hillsboro house in 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. Ohio mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the judge confirms a sheriff's sale, Ohio law generally lets you stop it—even after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs, and applicable interest with the court clerk under Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33. Selling first may help protect any equity you have. The papers in your case show which stage it has reached.

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. Signing by itself does not change the sheriff's sale date. Keep checking your notice and confirm any date change with the court or sheriff handling the case.

Which sale is named in your notice?

Mortgage foreclosure

This court case concerns the mortgage debt. The court papers, lender payoff, and sheriff-sale date show what is happening in your case. Under Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33, the sale may generally still be stopped before the judge confirms it—including after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs, and applicable interest with the court clerk.

Property-tax foreclosure

This case concerns delinquent real-estate taxes, not the mortgage debt. It has separate case papers and deadlines. Do not use the mortgage-sale rule in §2329.33 as a tax-case deadline.

Ohio Revised Code Chapter 5721 covers tax foreclosures. Follow the dates and instructions on the tax-case papers and contact the court or office named there.

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. A title company can review the payoff and title details alongside the written sale terms so you can see what a closing would need to address.

What happens next

  1. 1. Tell us about the house and notice

    Call or send the Hillsboro address. Share the case number or sale date if you have it; you can contact us while gathering the papers.

  2. 2. Review the written offer and terms

    We review the property as-is and put the offer and terms in writing before you decide whether to move ahead.

  3. 3. Work through title and payoff details

    If you choose to proceed, a title company reviews ownership, title, payoff information, and closing figures.

  4. 4. Confirm any sale-date change

    Signing alone does not change the sheriff-sale date. Confirm the current case status and any postponement with the court or sheriff before relying on a changed date.

  5. 5. Close through the title company

    We work toward a title-company closing when the written terms, title, payoff, and timing support it.

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.

Highland County starting points

The Highland County Common Pleas Court provides court information and the General Division's foreclosure-case route. The court is at 105 North High Street in Hillsboro. Use your case papers to identify the right case and confirm its status or sale date with the court.

For real-estate tax payment information, see the Highland County Treasurer. If you have a tax-foreclosure case, follow the deadlines in its notice and contact the court or office named in the papers; the Treasurer's payment information is separate from the mortgage-foreclosure rule.

Foreclosure questions from Hillsboro homeowners

Can I sell my Hillsboro house before 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. Whether a sale can close depends on the payoff, title, court status, and time available. Check the date and instructions in your own case papers.

What if the sheriff auction has already happened?

For an Ohio mortgage foreclosure, Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33 generally lets you stop the sale before the judge confirms it—even after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs, and applicable interest with the court clerk. Check your case status and amount promptly.

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

No. A property-tax foreclosure concerns delinquent real-estate taxes and follows a separate case process with separate notices and deadlines. Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33 addresses the mortgage-sale rule; do not use it to calculate a tax-case deadline. Follow the notice and court papers for the tax case.

What if the lender payoff is more than my 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 so it can be compared with written sale terms and the title details.

Do I need to repair or clean out the house before selling to you?

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