Can I Sell My Roswell House in Foreclosure?
If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Yes. You may still be able to sell before the foreclosure sale if closing pays the mortgage and resolves the other claims against the house. New Mexico mortgage foreclosures go through district court. A court-ordered sale can change what you own and how much time remains.

How we help you work toward closing
We review the house and details you share. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs.
The title company reviews ownership, mortgage payoff information, liens, and closing requirements with us as we work toward closing.
A mortgage foreclosure and a tax sale are different
A New Mexico mortgage foreclosure goes through district court. A property-tax sale is a separate process with its own notice and dates. The tax-sale notice gives the sale date and contact information. Chaves County's Treasurer handles county property-tax collection questions.
New Mexico gives homeowners a right to redeem the property after a judicial sale, but a mortgage can shorten that period substantially (NMSA §§39-5-18, 39-5-19). Read the New Mexico Courts foreclosure guidance, the Supreme Court's redemption handout, and Wells Fargo v. Pyle on contractual shortening of redemption.
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. We can review the payoff and other claims with you as we work out what a sale would need to cover.

- 4. Work toward closing. If the title, payoff, and timing allow the sale to proceed, we work with you and the title company toward closing. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from those costs.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
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.
