Pittsburg, KS / Foreclosure
Can I Sell My Pittsburg House in Foreclosure?
Yes. A sale may still be possible if the lender payoff or, after a sheriff’s sale, the redemption amount can be paid in time. The actual notice, court status, title, amount due, and closing timing matter. Have a title company or attorney confirm the current deadline and amount.

How we help you work toward closing
We review the house, its condition, the mortgage payoff, court status, and the timing in your notice. If a direct sale fits, we put the offer and terms in writing before you commit, then work toward a title-company closing.
If a sheriff's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate payoff or allocation items.
Which sale is involved?
Kansas mortgage foreclosure
Kansas mortgage foreclosures go through district court. After the lender wins a judgment, the house is sold at a sheriff’s sale, usually at the county courthouse, after notice is published once a week for three weeks. The court then confirms the sale.
After the sale, the owner can generally redeem within 12 months, or within three months if default occurred before one-third of the original senior debt was paid. Even then, the court gives 12 months if all outstanding mortgages and liens total less than one-third of the property’s market value. The court may add three months if the owner involuntarily loses their main income after the sale and before the three-month period ends. Abandonment can shorten or end redemption. The owner can generally stay in the home during this period.
Have a title company or attorney confirm the current deadline and amount for the property. The rules include K.S.A. 60-2410, K.S.A. 60-2414, and K.S.A. 60-2415.
If the notice is about property taxes
A notice about unpaid property taxes is different from a lender's mortgage foreclosure. The mortgage judgment, sheriff's sale, and redemption deadlines do not set a tax-sale deadline. Follow the date on your tax notice and contact the office named there. Crawford County's Treasurer can answer questions about county property-tax account records.
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.
Ask your lender for a current payoff. We can review it alongside the property and title information as we consider a sale.
What happens next
- Call or send the property address. Share the sale date and any notice or payoff information you have.
- We review the house and timing, then give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to move forward, the title company works through title and payoff details with the parties involved and prepares the closing.
- At closing, the title company confirms the amounts due. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs; mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
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.
