How we help with a foreclosure sale
If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Hampshire real estate transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
We work with the title company on title and mortgage-payoff details.
Mortgage foreclosure or property-tax lien?
A mortgage with a power of sale can be foreclosed without a court lawsuit. Residential borrowers generally receive at least 45 days' notice, with newspaper publication once a week for three weeks. The notice explains how you can ask the county Superior Court to stop the sale; the petition and service must be completed before the sale to preserve that challenge. Read New Hampshire's power-of-sale foreclosure law.
Unpaid property taxes follow a separate tax-lien process. If the property has not been redeemed, a tax deed to the lienholder may follow two years after the real estate tax lien is executed. That is different from a lender's scheduled mortgage foreclosure sale. Read New Hampshire's tax-deed law.
Before foreclosure, you can redeem by satisfying the mortgage obligations, damages, and costs. Read New Hampshire's redemption law.
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.

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 foreclosure in Rochester, NH
Can I sell my Rochester house before a foreclosure sale?
If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it. A sale may still be possible if the mortgage can be paid off before foreclosure.

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

What our sellers say
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“I was four months behind on my mortgage and the notices were stacking up. I didn't even know I could sell and still come out with money. USA Home Buyers explained the whole thing, the offer was fair, and we closed before things got worse. Huge weight off my shoulders.”
