Can I Sell My Sturgeon Bay House in Foreclosure?
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. It doesn't always work, but it works more often than people think.
If a sheriff's sale is scheduled, we can look at how much time remains to work toward a sale before then. After the auction, Wisconsin's right to redeem can continue until the court confirms the sale. Redeeming requires full payment of the foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes—not just overdue installments.
USA Home Buyers buys houses in Sturgeon Bay and Door County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Ask us for a cash offer using the form or call 888-274-5006.
How we help before a sheriff’s sale
A signed agreement doesn't automatically postpone the sale; we use it to ask for a postponement. We review the house as-is and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to sell to us, we work through title and payoff details with a title company.
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.
Which sale is involved?
A Wisconsin mortgage foreclosure goes through court and may proceed to a sheriff’s auction. The mortgage case and any delinquent-property-tax matter have separate notices and deadlines.
For a City of Sturgeon Bay real-estate tax bill, the City directs payments to the Door County Treasurer.
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.
What happens next
Call or use the form to tell us what is happening. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. We work through the title and payoff details with you. 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.
