How we help you work toward closing
We look at the house as-is, the mortgage payoff, the title information, and the timing in your notice. We give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to sell, a title company handles the closing and works through the payoff details.

Which sale is involved?
Utah mortgage foreclosure
With a trust deed, the lender can use a trustee power-of-sale process. The beneficiary may instead choose judicial mortgage foreclosure through a court case. For a trustee sale, the notice of default must be recorded and at least three months must pass before the sale. The sale is a public auction to the highest bidder.
The person conducting a trustee sale may postpone it for a cause considered expedient by public declaration. If the postponement goes beyond 45 days after the date in the original notice, a new notice is required. A signed purchase agreement does not itself postpone the sale; keep following the date in your current notice unless the trustee confirms a change.
These rules are in Utah Code §57-1-23, §57-1-24, §57-1-25, and §57-1-27.
If your notice concerns property taxes
A county property-tax sale is separate from a mortgage foreclosure. The mortgage-sale deadlines below do not tell you the date or steps for a tax notice. Follow that notice and contact the Davis County Treasurer about county property-tax records and notices.
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. We can review it with the title and property information as we consider a possible sale.
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 items.
