Can I Sell My Lancaster House Before Foreclosure?

Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. It doesn't always work, but it works more often than people think.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

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.

Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes affect what remains from the sale. We can go through those numbers with you.

A mortgage foreclosure is the lender's court case over the home loan. Ohio law generally lets you stop a sheriff's sale before the judge confirms it—even after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs and applicable interest with the court clerk. The deadline is confirmation of the sale. Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33 explains that right.

A property-tax foreclosure is a separate court case over delinquent property taxes, with its own case papers and dates under Ohio Rev. Code Chapter 5721. The notice tells you which case you're facing. For a tax bill or account question, contact the Fairfield County Treasurer; for court-case information, use the case details and the County Clerk of Courts.
