Quincy, IL › Foreclosure

Can I sell my Quincy house before foreclosure?

Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure 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 still have time to sell if the sale can close and pay the required debt before the applicable deadline. Illinois mortgage foreclosures go through court. The normal redemption deadline is before the foreclosure auction, but the date and payoff depend on the court case. Signing a purchase agreement alone does not automatically move the auction or extend that deadline.

How we help work toward a closing

USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Quincy and Adams County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. If you choose to move ahead, the title company reviews title and payoff details for closing.

Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure 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 checking the dates in your court papers and confirm any change with the court handling the case. Signing by itself does not extend the Illinois redemption deadline.

Which sale is named in your notice?

Property-tax sale

A property-tax sale is a different process with its own notice and deadlines. Do not use mortgage-foreclosure redemption or auction dates for a tax-sale notice. Follow the dates and instructions on that notice and contact the office named on it.

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.

The current 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.

What happens next

  1. Call USA Home Buyers at 888-274-5006 or send the property details through the form. If you have court papers or a sale notice, share the case and date shown there.
  2. We review the house and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
  3. If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews title, the current mortgage payoff, liens, and other amounts due for 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.
  4. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. This does not pay the seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
  5. We use the agreement to ask for a postponement. Signing alone does not automatically change the auction date or extend the redemption deadline, so keep checking the current date with the court handling the case.
  6. If the title, payoff, court deadline, 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.

Does signing an agreement automatically postpone the foreclosure sale?

Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure 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.

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

No. A property-tax sale is a separate process with its own notice and deadlines. Follow the tax-sale notice and the office named on it; do not apply mortgage-foreclosure redemption or auction dates to a tax-sale notice.

What if the foreclosure 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 lender payoff, title, and lien details still need to be reviewed for the property.

Do I need to repair or clean out the Quincy house before selling to you?

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

Which closing costs and transfer taxes do you pay?

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. This does not pay the seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
