South Haven, MI · Allegan and Van Buren counties / Foreclosure
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.
Yes. If you are facing a mortgage sheriff’s sale, selling may still be possible when the required payoff, title work, and closing can be completed before the applicable deadline. If the sale already happened, a redemption period may apply; its deadline and amount depend on the property and foreclosure details. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current status, exact deadline, and amount.

We review the house as-is, the notice, current payoff information, title, and the time available. We give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to move forward, a title company works through ownership, payoff, lien, and closing details. We use the agreement of sale to ask for a postponement; keep treating the date on your notice as current unless the office handling the sale confirms a change.

A Michigan mortgage foreclosure auction is commonly called a sheriff’s sale. State law describes the public mortgage sale and how a sale may be adjourned. If the mortgage sale already happened, a post-sale redemption period may apply. In a foreclosure by advertisement, six months after the sale is the most common period, but shorter and longer periods apply. Redemption requires the sale amount plus required interest and charges, not just missed payments. See Michigan’s redemption law and have a title company or attorney confirm the property’s exact deadline and amount before relying on a closing date.
A property-tax sale is separate from a mortgage foreclosure. The notices, sale information, and deadlines are not interchangeable: do not use a mortgage sheriff-sale date or redemption period to interpret a tax notice. South Haven parcels can be in Allegan or Van Buren County, so confirm the parcel’s county and follow the instructions on its notice.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Ask your lender for a current payoff and have the title details reviewed. The actual payoff and written sale terms matter when you compare options; any lender decision is specific to the transaction.
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.

No. A mortgage foreclosure and a property-tax sale are separate processes with separate notices and deadlines. Do not use a mortgage sheriff-sale date or redemption period to interpret a tax notice. South Haven parcels can be in Allegan or Van Buren County, so confirm the parcel’s county and follow the notice for that property.
In a Michigan foreclosure by advertisement, six months after the sale is the most common redemption period, but shorter and longer periods apply. Redemption requires the sale amount plus required interest and charges, not just missed payments. Have a title company or attorney confirm the property’s sale status, exact deadline, and amount.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. A current payoff and title review can show what must be addressed for the property; any lender decision depends on the transaction’s specific figures.
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. Mortgage balances and your share of current property taxes remain separate amounts, and a tax-sale deadline must be checked on its own notice.
