How we help you work toward closing

Call us or use the form and tell us what notice you received. We'll look at the house as-is and go through the payoff and timing with you.

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. If a sheriff's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it. The title company works through ownership, payoff, lien, and closing details.

Which sale is named in your notice?

Mortgage foreclosure

A Pennsylvania mortgage foreclosure is a court case that can proceed to a sheriff's sale. For certain delinquent mortgages on a one- or two-family home that is the borrower's principal residence, the lender must send an Act 91 notice before filing. If you receive that notice and want HEMAP assistance, meet a designated housing counselor within 33 days. The counselor then has 30 days from the meeting to submit the application to PHFA. Selling is another option; call us when you receive a foreclosure notice and we'll talk through the timing.

Read PHFA's HEMAP and Act 91 guidance. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 3121 covers stays of execution.

Property-tax sale

A property-tax sale follows a separate process from mortgage foreclosure, with its own notice and date. When property taxes go unpaid, the county can put the house up for a tax sale, and the county's notice gives the date. If a sale closes before that date, delinquent taxes may be paid from the proceeds if enough money remains after other liens and closing costs. Call us as soon as a tax-sale notice arrives; timing matters (Real Estate Tax Sale Law, §§601–603).

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.

We'll go through the mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes with you.

What happens next

Call us or use the form; tell us about the notice and sale date.
We'll review the house and payoff details with you, then give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit.
If you decide to sell, the title company works through title, payoff information, liens, and closing documents. If a sheriff's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate. 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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions — Indiana PA Foreclosure

Can I sell my Indiana Borough house before a sheriff's sale?

A sale may still be possible while a mortgage foreclosure is underway. Call us with the sale date and payoff details, and we'll look at the timing with you.

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

No. They are separate processes, each with its own notice and deadline. The sheriff-sale date is for the mortgage case; the county's tax-sale notice gives the tax-sale date.

What should I do after an Act 91 notice if I want to seek HEMAP assistance?

For certain delinquent mortgages on a Pennsylvania one- or two-family home that is the borrower’s principal residence, the lender must send an Act 91 notice before filing for foreclosure. If you receive one and want to seek HEMAP assistance, meet a designated housing counselor within 33 days; the counselor then has 30 days from that meeting to submit an application to PHFA. HEMAP is a state mortgage-assistance loan program.

What if the mortgage 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.

Do I have to pay back taxes or liens before closing?

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. If you receive a county tax-sale notice, call us as soon as it arrives; timing matters.
