Can I Sell My Owensboro House Before Foreclosure?

Our agreement of sale will often get a master commissioner'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. You may be able to sell before the court-ordered master commissioner's sale if the mortgage payoff, title work, and closing can be completed in time. Check the date on your current court notice; a sale agreement does not change it by itself.

How we help with a possible sale

Tell us about the Owensboro house and the notice or date you have. We review the property as-is and work toward a closing when the property, payoff, title, and timing support it.

We provide a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, the closing is through a title company. We use the agreement to ask for a postponement; signing alone does not move the sale date.

Which sale is named in your notice?

Mortgage foreclosure

Kentucky mortgage foreclosures go through circuit court. The lender files a lawsuit; if it wins a judgment, the court orders the house sold at a public auction run by the master commissioner. By court rule, the commissioner generally must hold the sale within 90 days after the case is referred. Two disinterested people appraise the house first, and the sale is advertised at least once between 7 and 21 days before the auction. The court must confirm the sale before the buyer gets a deed.

Those are general rules, not the date for your case. Check the current court papers and sale notice, and ask the attorney or court contact handling the case about its status.

Property-tax matter

A property-tax notice or sale is separate from a mortgage-foreclosure case. The mortgage case and its master commissioner sale date do not tell you the tax deadline. Follow the instructions on the tax notice and confirm its date with the issuing office.

For local tax-office routing, see the Daviess County Sheriff's Office tax collection page.

If an auction has already taken place, the court must confirm the sale before the buyer gets a deed. When a sale is for less than two-thirds of the appraised value, Kentucky law lets the owner redeem within six months by repaying the sale price plus 10% interest and certain costs. See KRS 426.530; ask a Kentucky attorney whether it applies to your case.

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.

A current lender payoff and title details shape the numbers for a specific sale. We can review the information and put any offer and terms in writing for you to compare.

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, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from that closing-cost promise.

What happens next

  1. 1. Contact us about the house and notice

    Call or use the form. Share the address and any sale date or payoff information you have; you do not need every answer before you contact us.

  2. 2. Review a written offer and terms

    We give you a written cash offer and written terms before you decide whether to commit. You can compare them with listing or other options.

  3. 3. Check title and payoff details

    If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews title, mortgage payoff, liens, and closing documents. Payoffs are handled through closing under the written terms.

  4. 4. Confirm any sale-date change

    An agreement alone does not postpone the master commissioner's sale. Confirm the current case status and any postponement with the court or case contact before relying on a changed date.

  5. 5. Close through a title company

    If the title, payoff, sale timing, and written terms support it, the sale can move to closing through the title company.

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 — Owensboro, KY Foreclosure

Can I sell my Owensboro house before a master commissioner sale?

Our agreement of sale will often get a master commissioner'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 auction may be possible if the payoff, title work, court status, and closing can be handled in time. Check the current case papers and sale notice.

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

No. A Kentucky mortgage foreclosure is a circuit-court case that may lead to a master commissioner sale. A property-tax matter is separate and has its own notice and deadlines. Follow the tax notice and contact the issuing office; do not use a mortgage-case date as a tax deadline.

What if the master commissioner auction has already happened?

The court must confirm the sale before the buyer gets a deed. If the sale price is less than two-thirds of the appraised value, Kentucky law allows the owner to redeem within six months by repaying the sale price, 10% interest, and certain costs. Whether that rule applies depends on the case and sale; see KRS 426.530 and ask a Kentucky attorney about your deadline.

What if my mortgage payoff is more than the house is worth?

Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. The current payoff, title details, and written terms still need to be reviewed for your property.

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.

What closing costs do you pay when I sell to you?

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from that closing-cost promise.

Do I need 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.
