Can I Sell My Kenosha 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. A Wisconsin mortgage foreclosure goes through court, and a sale may still be possible if it can close and resolve the debt. After the sheriff's auction, the right to redeem may continue until the court confirms the sale, but it requires full payment of the foreclosure judgment, interest, costs and applicable later taxes—not just overdue installments. We can review the payoff and timing with you.

Mortgage foreclosure or tax sale?
This page covers a lender's mortgage foreclosure through Wisconsin court. A notice about delinquent property taxes or a tax sale is a separate matter; the postponement request for a mortgage foreclosure does not set or change a tax-sale deadline.
Wisconsin foreclosure law: Wis. Stat. §§ 846.10, 846.101 and 846.13, and Security State Bank v. Sechen, 2005 WI App 253, paragraphs 8–11.
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.
A current payoff helps us and the title company see what would need to be paid at closing. We can review those figures with you.
What happens next
- Call us or send the existing form; we can review the property address, foreclosure notice, and current sale date with you.
- We give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You receive written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to sell, we review title, payoff, who lives in the house, and who has authority to sell; a title company coordinates the closing details.
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 Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. That does not include your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes or your share of current property taxes; those are separate items for the title and payoff review. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us.
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.

Questions about selling before foreclosure
Kenosha Foreclosure Questions
Can I sell my Kenosha house before a sheriff sale?
You may still have time if the sale can close and resolve the debt. 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. We can review the judgment, payoff, and sale date with you promptly.
What if the sheriff has already held the auction?
The right to redeem can continue after the sheriff’s auction until the court confirms the sale. To redeem, the full foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes must be paid—not just overdue installments. We can review the judgment, payoff, and confirmation-hearing date with you promptly.
Is a mortgage foreclosure the same as a tax sale?
No. This page covers a lender’s mortgage foreclosure through court. A notice about delinquent property taxes or a tax sale is a different matter; the mortgage-foreclosure postponement explanation here does not set or change tax-related deadlines.
What if the 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. We can review the current payoff with the title and closing details.
What happens after I contact you?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and if you choose to sell, we close through a title company. We review title, payoff, who lives in the house, and who has authority to sell while working toward the actual court and sale dates.
