Can I Sell My Little Falls House Before 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 sale may still be possible if the required payoff and closing can be completed before the applicable deadline. If a sheriff's sale has already happened, a Minnesota redemption period may still matter; the foreclosure type and your case dates affect the deadline. Do not assume a sale date or redemption deadline has moved.

How we help work toward a closing
We review the house as-is, the notice and dates you have, and the payoff information available. If you want to proceed, we give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit. A title company can check ownership, mortgage payoff figures, liens, and the documents needed for closing.
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. Keep checking the current sale date and deadline in your notices; the agreement alone does not change them.
Which sale is on your notice?
A Minnesota mortgage foreclosure auction is a sheriff's sale. In a foreclosure by advertisement, the usual redemption period is six months after the sale, but shorter and longer periods apply in some cases. A court foreclosure can have a different starting point. A postponement request does not change the deadlines by itself. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the deadline and amount needed for your case.
A property-tax notice is a separate matter from a lender's mortgage foreclosure. The mortgage sale and redemption dates below are not tax-sale deadlines. Follow the tax notice and ask the Morrison County office named there which process and date apply.

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. The title company can review the payoff and other title information with the written sale terms so you can see what must be addressed at 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. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate items.
What happens next
- Call 888-274-5006 or send the property address and the notice or sale date you have.
- We review the house as-is and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to move forward, a title company checks ownership, payoff figures, liens, and the closing documents. We use the agreement to ask for a postponement when needed; signing alone does not postpone the sale automatically.
- If the required amounts, title work, and timing allow, we work with you and the title company toward closing. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Minnesota deed tax and applicable Hennepin or Ramsey County Environmental Response Fund tax. The Hennepin and Ramsey County add-ons do not apply to a Morrison County property. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
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.

Foreclosure questions for Little Falls and Morrison County
Can I sell my Little Falls house before a sheriff's sale?
Yes. A sale may still be possible if the required payoff, title work, and closing can be completed before the applicable deadline. 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. Do not assume the sale date has moved; have the title company or an attorney confirm the current deadline and amount needed.
How long is the Minnesota redemption period after a mortgage foreclosure sale?
In a Minnesota foreclosure by advertisement, the usual redemption period is six months after the sheriff’s sale, but shorter and longer periods apply in some cases. A court foreclosure can have a different starting point. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the deadline and amount for your property.
Is a mortgage foreclosure the same as a property-tax sale?
No. The dates on this page concern a lender’s mortgage foreclosure, not a property-tax notice. Keep the processes and deadlines separate. Follow the tax notice and contact the Morrison County office named on it; the County Auditor/Treasurer handles property-tax statements and payments.
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. Ask your lender for a current payoff, and have the title and lien details reviewed. Whether the sale can close depends on the required amounts, written terms, and timing.
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. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate items for the title company to review.
