Can I Sell My Marietta House in 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.
Yes. Ohio mortgage foreclosures go through court. You can generally still stop the sale before the judge confirms it—even after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs, and applicable interest with the court clerk under Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33. Selling first may help protect any equity you have.

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. If you choose to move ahead, the title company reviews ownership, title, payoff, liens, and the figures needed for closing.
Mortgage foreclosure or property-tax sale?
Mortgage foreclosure is a court case over a home loan that may lead to a sheriff sale. A delinquent property-tax sale is separate, with its own notices and dates; postponing a mortgage sheriff sale does not change a property-tax sale date.
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 review the current payoff with the title and lien details against the written sale terms and closing figures.

No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate items reviewed in the closing figures.
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 in Marietta, OH
Can I sell my Marietta house before an Ohio sheriff sale?
A sale may still be possible before the sheriff sale if the payoff, title work, and time available allow a closing. Ohio mortgage foreclosures go through court. Under Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33, you can generally still stop the sale before the judge confirms it—even after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs, and applicable interest with the court clerk. Selling first may help protect any equity you have.
Is a property-tax sale the same as mortgage foreclosure?
No. A mortgage foreclosure is a court case over a home loan, while a property-tax sale is a separate matter with its own notices and dates. Postponing a mortgage sheriff sale does not change a property-tax sale date.
What if the mortgage payoff is more than my Marietta house is worth?
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. We review the current payoff with the title and lien details against the written sale terms and closing figures.
Do I have to repair or clean out the house before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
