Mauston, Wisconsin / Foreclosure
Can I Sell My Mauston 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.
Yes. Wisconsin mortgage foreclosure goes through court. If the sheriff's sale has not happened, you may still be able to sell if the sale can close and resolve the debt. If the auction has happened, you may still have the right to redeem until the court confirms the sale. That takes full payment of the foreclosure judgment, interest, costs and applicable later taxes — not just overdue installments. Call us with the judgment, payoff and confirmation-hearing date, and we'll look at the timing with you.

How we can work toward a closing
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We review the house and court papers with you. Signing the agreement alone doesn't postpone the sheriff's sale; we use the agreement to ask for a postponement.
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
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. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
Mortgage foreclosure or property-tax sale?
A property-tax foreclosure is separate from a lender's mortgage case and has its own notice and deadline. The mortgage sheriff-sale date belongs to a different court case. For Juneau County property-tax questions, contact the County Treasurer.

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.
If you choose to move forward, the title company reviews the mortgage payoff alongside liens and other amounts tied to the property.

Mauston Foreclosure Questions
Can I sell my Mauston house before a sheriff's sale?
Yes. 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. Signing the agreement alone doesn't postpone the sheriff's sale; we use the agreement to ask for a postponement. You may still have time to sell if the sale can close and resolve the debt.
What if the sheriff's auction already happened?
You may still have the right to redeem after the sheriff's auction until the court confirms the sale. That takes full payment of the foreclosure judgment, interest, costs and applicable later taxes — not just overdue installments. If the auction has happened, call us and we'll look at the court papers and dates with you.
Is a property-tax sale the same as mortgage foreclosure?
A property-tax foreclosure is separate from a lender's mortgage case and has its own notice and deadline. The mortgage sheriff-sale date belongs to a different court case. For Juneau County property-tax questions, contact the County Treasurer.
What if the payoff is more than my Mauston house is worth?
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
What happens after I ask for an offer?
Tell us the Mauston address and whether a sheriff’s sale is scheduled or the auction has happened. We review the house and court papers with you, then give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, we work with a title company on the payoff and closing.
