Can I Sell My Neillsville 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.
You may still have time to sell if the sale can close and resolve the debt. Wisconsin mortgage foreclosure goes through court. The right to redeem can continue after the sheriff’s auction until the court confirms the sale, but it takes full payment of the foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes—not just overdue installments. Selling first may help protect any equity you have.

How we help you work toward closing
We review the house as it stands and the payoff and timing information you share. You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company reviews title, payoff, and lien details and coordinates the closing.
If a sheriff’s sale is scheduled, we use the agreement of sale to ask for a postponement so we can close.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Mortgage foreclosure and property-tax matters are different
A mortgage foreclosure is a court case about a home loan. Wisconsin’s mortgage-foreclosure rules are in Chapter 846. A delinquent property-tax matter follows a different process under Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 75, with its own notices and deadlines. Do not use mortgage-foreclosure dates to calculate a tax deadline; follow the notice for the process you are facing.
The right to redeem after a mortgage sheriff’s auction can continue until the court confirms the sale. Redemption requires the full foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes—not just overdue installments. The judgment, payoff, and confirmation-hearing date determine which options remain.

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.
