How we help you work toward closing
We review the house as-is and the deadline you are facing, then give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to move forward, a title company works through ownership, payoff, and closing details with the appropriate parties.
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.
We use the agreement to ask for a postponement; signing alone does not change the date. Keep following the current sale date and confirm any change with the court or sheriff handling your case.
Mortgage foreclosure and tax sale have different deadlines
A mortgage foreclosure is a court case about the home loan. A property-tax sale is a separate matter with its own notices and deadlines. The mortgage redemption rule and a request to postpone a mortgage sheriff’s sale do not set or change a tax-sale deadline. Follow the notice for the matter you actually have.
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. This does not change a tax-sale notice or date. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate amounts; a title company needs current figures for this property.
For a property-tax notice, contact the Marshall County Treasurer about the tax account and sale information. Follow the notice for its dates and next steps.
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 the lender for a current payoff and have the title and lien details checked. Those figures show what needs to be addressed at closing; a lender’s decision depends on the property and transaction.
What happens next
- Call or send the Plymouth property address and the notice, case number, and sale date you have.
- We review the house as-is and give you written offer terms before you decide whether to proceed.
- A title company checks ownership and works through the mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes.
- We work toward a title-company closing after the required title, payoff, and case steps are addressed. Confirm any changed sheriff’s-sale date with the court or sheriff handling it.
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.

Questions about selling before foreclosure in Plymouth, IN
Can I sell my Plymouth house before a sheriff’s sale?
Possibly. Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court, and a sale may still be possible before the sheriff’s sale if the payoff, title work, case status, and time to close line up. Check the current payoff and sale date for your property promptly.
Does signing an agreement automatically postpone a sheriff’s 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. Keep following the current date unless the court or sheriff handling the sale confirms a change.
Is a property-tax sale the same as mortgage foreclosure?
No. A mortgage foreclosure is a court case about the home loan. A property-tax sale is separate and has its own notices and deadlines. Mortgage redemption rules and a request to postpone a mortgage sheriff’s sale do not change a tax-sale date; follow the notice for the matter you have.
What if the payoff is more than my Plymouth house is worth?
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. Ask the lender for a current payoff and have the title details checked; any lender decision depends on the property and transaction.
Do I have to repair or clean out the house before asking about a sale?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the property and its condition when you contact us.
What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?
We review the house and the timing you are facing, then provide written offer terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company works through ownership, payoff, lien, and closing details with you. The actual case status and required steps determine whether a sale can close in time.
