Can I Sell My Starkville 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 scheduled mortgage foreclosure sale. We'll look at the notice, sale date, payoff, and title work with you. Most Mississippi deed-of-trust foreclosures happen outside court.

Mississippi mortgage foreclosure and property-tax sales are different
Most Mississippi deed-of-trust foreclosures proceed nonjudicially under Miss. Code Ann. § 89-1-55. The trustee must post notice at the courthouse and publish it for three consecutive weeks; the sale is held at the courthouse door. Check the deed of trust, notice, and sale date promptly. After a completed nonjudicial sale under this section, there is no right of redemption.
A property-tax sale is separate from a mortgage foreclosure, with separate notices and deadlines. This page covers mortgage foreclosure. If your notice concerns property taxes, follow that notice and contact the Oktibbeha County Tax Office about the tax account.
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.
A current mortgage payoff and title review can show what amounts a sale would need to address. 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, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs.
What happens next
- Call or use the form and share the property address, the notice you received, and any sale date shown.
- We review the house and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can review the written terms before deciding whether to commit.
- If you want to proceed, the title company reviews title, payoff information, and the closing steps with us. The actual sale date and required payoff still matter.
- When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
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 Starkville, MS
Can I sell my Starkville house before a mortgage foreclosure sale?
Yes, a sale may still be possible before the sale if the payoff, title work, and closing can be completed in time. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it. The date on the trustee's notice remains the one to track unless the trustee confirms a change.
How does a Mississippi mortgage foreclosure sale work?
Most Mississippi deed-of-trust foreclosures proceed without a court case under Miss. Code Ann. § 89-1-55. The trustee posts notice at the courthouse and publishes it for three consecutive weeks; the sale is held at the courthouse door. After a completed nonjudicial sale under this section, there is no right of redemption. The deed of trust, notice, and sale date matter for the property.
Is a property-tax sale the same as a mortgage foreclosure?
No. A property-tax sale is separate from a mortgage foreclosure, with its own notice and deadlines. Follow the notice for the sale you are facing. For Oktibbeha County property-tax account or collection questions, contact the county Tax Office.
What if the lender payoff is more than my Starkville house is worth?
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 the sale would need to address.
Do I have to pay back taxes or liens before 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. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate amounts.
What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?
We review the house and the information you share, then provide written offer terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company works through title, payoff information, and the closing steps with us. The sale date on your notice still matters while those steps are underway.
