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, a sale may still be possible before a sheriff's sale if the payoff, title work, and closing steps can be completed in time. If a sheriff's sale has already happened, Kansas's separate redemption rules may matter; the deadline and amount depend on the case.

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.
We review the house as-is, the notice or case information you have, and the current payoff and title details. If you choose to move forward, we put the offer and terms in writing before you commit, and the closing is through a title company. We work toward closing while the required payoff, title, and sale-date details are checked for your property.
Signing by itself does not change the sheriff's sale date. Keep following the dates on your notices and confirm any postponement with the sheriff or court.
Kansas mortgage foreclosures go through district court. After the lender wins a judgment, the property may be sold at a sheriff's sale. Notice is published once a week for three weeks before the sale, and the court then confirms the sale. The case docket, published notice, and your own papers help show which stage you are in.
After a mortgage sheriff's sale, the owner can generally redeem the property — keep it by paying the amount required by law — within 12 months. The period can be three months if default occurred before one-third of the original senior debt was paid. Even then, the court provides 12 months if all outstanding mortgages and liens together are less than one-third of the property's market value. A court may add three months if the owner involuntarily loses their main income after the sale and before the three-month period ends. Abandonment can shorten or end redemption. The owner can generally stay in the home during this period.
Those are mortgage-foreclosure rules, not a property-specific deadline calculation. Have a title company or attorney confirm the current deadline and amount needed for your case.
This is the lender's district-court case described above. Its judgment, sheriff's sale, court confirmation, and any mortgage redemption period have their own dates. Use the court and lender notices for this case.
A tax-sale notice concerns unpaid property taxes and is a separate case and process from a lender's mortgage foreclosure. Do not use the mortgage sheriff-sale or mortgage redemption periods to calculate a tax-sale deadline. Check the date and case named in the tax notice with the county and court.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
The current lender payoff, other liens, title information, and closing figures help show whether a sale can cover the amounts required. A lender decides whether to change its payoff for a particular property.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, other liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate. 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 title company checks the current amounts and payment instructions.
Call or send the Topeka address, the notice or sale date you have, and what you know about the mortgage payoff, title, and occupancy. We can review the house as-is; no repairs, cleaning, or cleanout are required to sell to us.
We give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit. You can compare the terms with the current payoff and the dates in your court or lender papers.
If you choose to proceed, a title company reviews ownership, payoff figures, liens, and the items needed for closing. We use the agreement to ask for a sheriff's-sale postponement when needed; signing alone does not postpone it automatically. Confirm any date change with the sheriff or court.
If the required title, payoff, and sale-date steps can be completed, the title company handles closing through the written terms. The actual date depends on the property and the steps still needed.
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.
Use these local offices for court and property records, and the Kansas resource for a foreclosure overview. The date and case number on your own notice still matter; confirm any change directly with the sheriff or court.

Keep checking the current sale date with the sheriff or court; do not assume it changed just because an agreement was signed.
After the court confirms a mortgage foreclosure sale, Kansas generally allows the owner to redeem the property within 12 months. Some cases have a three-month period, while other statutory conditions or abandonment can change the time. Confirm the current redemption deadline and amount with a title company or attorney.
No. A mortgage foreclosure is the lender’s district-court case and may proceed to a sheriff’s sale. A tax-sale notice involves a separate case and deadline. Do not apply mortgage-sale or mortgage-redemption periods to a tax-sale notice; check the notice and court record for that property.
