Terre Haute, IN / Foreclosure
Can I Sell My Terre Haute House Before 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, you may still have time to sell before the sheriff's sale if the sale can close and resolve the debt in time. Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the sale, an owner can redeem the property by paying the full judgment, interest, and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the case stage. Paying only overdue installments is not the same thing. Get the actual payoff and sheriff's-sale date checked promptly. See Indiana Code § 32-29-7-7.

Mortgage foreclosure and a county tax sale are different
A mortgage foreclosure is a court case over a home loan. A county tax sale concerns delinquent property taxes and has its own notice and timing. This page covers a mortgage foreclosure. If you received a tax-sale notice, follow that notice and contact the Vigo County Treasurer for county tax-sale information.
Keep the dates separate: a change to a mortgage sheriff's-sale date does not establish or change a tax-sale date. Check each notice with the office or court named on it.
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.
Ask the lender for a current payoff statement. A title company can review the payoff and recorded title details to show what needs to be addressed at closing; a lender's decision depends on the property and case.
What happens next
- Call or send the Terre Haute property address and the foreclosure notice, case number, or sale date you have.
- We review the house as-is and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- If you choose to proceed, you get written terms before you commit. A title company reviews title, the mortgage payoff, and other amounts that need to be addressed for closing.
- The sale can close only if the case, payoff, title, and timing requirements can be met.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate amounts; the title company reviews them as part of the closing 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.
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.

Is a mortgage foreclosure the same as a county tax sale?
No. A mortgage foreclosure concerns a home loan and goes through court. A county tax sale is separate and concerns delinquent property taxes, with its own notice and timing. Follow the notice for the process affecting your property; a mortgage-sale postponement does not change a tax-sale date.
What if the payoff is more than my Terre Haute 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 statement and title review can show what amounts need to be addressed at closing. A lender decision depends on the property and case.
