New Philadelphia, OH · Tuscarawas County › Foreclosure

Can I sell my New Philadelphia 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. 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 before the sale may help protect any equity you have. What is possible depends on the payoff, title, court status, and time to close.

Which sale is named in your notice?

Mortgage foreclosure

This case concerns mortgage debt and goes through court in Ohio. Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33 generally lets you stop the sale before the judge confirms it, including after an auction, by depositing the full judgment amount, costs, and applicable interest with the court clerk. This mortgage-case rule does not set the deadline in a property-tax case.

Property-tax foreclosure

This is a separate court process about delinquent real-estate taxes, with its own case papers and deadlines. Do not use the mortgage-sale rule or date to interpret a tax-case notice. Ohio Revised Code Chapter 5721 covers tax foreclosures.

The notice for a tax case identifies its own process and deadline.

If the payoff looks too high

Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

We review the payoff and title details with the title company against the written terms so you can see what the closing would need to cover.

What happens next

  1. 1. Tell us about the house and notice

    Call or send the property address through the form. Share the case number, notice, or sale date if you have it; you do not have to wait until you have every paper.

  2. 2. Review written terms

    We review the house as-is and give you a written offer and clear written terms to review up front, before you commit. You can compare those terms with listing or other options. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us.

  3. 3. Work through title and payoff details

    If you decide to move ahead, we review title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority with the title company under the written terms.

  4. 4. Ask for a sale-date postponement

    We use the agreement to ask for a postponement, but the agreement itself does not change the sale date. The court or sheriff handling the case must confirm any postponement.

  5. 5. Close through a title company

    Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

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.

Frequently asked questions about foreclosure in New Philadelphia, OH

Can I sell my New Philadelphia house while it is in mortgage foreclosure?

Yes. 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. A sale before the sheriff's sale may help protect equity if the payoff, title, case status, and time to close line up.

What if the Ohio foreclosure auction has already happened?

Ohio law generally lets you stop a mortgage foreclosure 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. Check the case and amount with the court and an Ohio attorney.

Is a property-tax foreclosure the same as a mortgage foreclosure?

No. A mortgage foreclosure concerns mortgage debt; a property-tax foreclosure concerns delinquent real-estate taxes. They are separate cases with their own papers and deadlines. Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33 is not a tax-case deadline; follow the tax-case notice and Chapter 5721.

Will signing an agreement of sale automatically postpone the sheriff sale?

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.

What if the payoff is more than my New Philadelphia house is worth?

Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. A current payoff statement and title review can show what the written sale terms would need to address.

Do I need to repair or clean out my New Philadelphia house first?

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
