Schererville, IN › Foreclosure
Can I Sell My Schererville House Before a Sheriff’s Sale?
You may still sell before the sheriff's sale if the payoff and closing can be completed in time. Indiana law lets you redeem before the sale by paying the full judgment, interest, and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the stage of the case. Paying only overdue installments isn't enough.

No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Mortgage foreclosure and tax sales have different dates
An Indiana mortgage foreclosure is a court case that can lead to a sheriff's sale. Before the sale, you can redeem the property by paying the full judgment, interest, and costs; the payment goes through the clerk or sheriff depending on the case stage. A sale needs to close and resolve the debt in time, so the actual payoff and sheriff's-sale date matter.
A county tax sale is separate from a mortgage foreclosure and concerns delinquent property taxes. The notices and dates are different. If you have a tax-sale notice, call us and we'll review its date and the property-tax details with you.

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.
