Ticonderoga, NY Foreclosure
Can I Sell My Ticonderoga House Before Foreclosure?
Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. It doesn't always work, but it works more often than people think.
Yes. Before the auction, you may still be able to sell if the mortgage payoff and other closing obligations can be covered in time to close. New York foreclosures go through court, and a referee conducts the sale. After the auction, you have no right to buy the house back. Signing the agreement alone does not automatically postpone the sale.

How we help you work toward closing
We review the house as-is and talk through the mortgage case, payoff, title, and timing with you. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

Which sale is named in your notice?
A mortgage foreclosure concerns the home loan and goes through New York’s court process; a referee conducts the foreclosure sale. New York Courts explains that stopping the mortgage case by paying the lender requires the full amount owed, including applicable interest, fees, and costs.
A sale over unpaid property taxes is separate and has its own notice and deadline. A request to postpone a mortgage foreclosure sale does not change a separate tax-sale date.
If you live in the house and are in foreclosure or two or more months behind on payments, New York’s Home Equity Theft Prevention Act gives you 14 business days to cancel a sale to an investor. That cancellation period is not a foreclosure-auction postponement or a property-tax deadline.
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.
We can look at the payoff figure and sale terms with you. 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.
The mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes.
What happens next

- We review the house as-is and give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews ownership, title, mortgage payoff, liens, and other closing details.

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.

Foreclosure questions for Ticonderoga and Essex County
Can I sell my Ticonderoga house before a New York foreclosure auction?
Yes. You may still be able to sell before the foreclosure auction if the mortgage payoff and other closing obligations can be covered. New York foreclosures go through court, and a referee conducts the sale. After the auction, you have no right to buy the house back. Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. It doesn't always work, but it works more often than people think.
Does signing an agreement automatically postpone the foreclosure sale?
We use the agreement to ask for a postponement so we can close.
Is a mortgage foreclosure the same as a property-tax sale?
No. A mortgage foreclosure concerns the home loan. A sale over unpaid property taxes is a separate matter with its own notice and deadline. A mortgage-foreclosure postponement request does not change a separate tax-sale date; follow the date and contact on the tax notice.
What if my mortgage payoff is more than my Ticonderoga house is worth?
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. We can look at the payoff figure and sale terms with you.
Can I cancel a sale to an investor under New York law?
If you live in the house and are in foreclosure or two or more months behind on payments, New York’s Home Equity Theft Prevention Act gives you 14 business days to cancel a sale to an investor. That cancellation period is separate from a mortgage-auction date and a property-tax deadline.
