Can I Sell My Van Buren House Before Foreclosure?
If you are facing mortgage foreclosure, you may still be able to sell before the scheduled sale if the payoff, title work, and required steps can be completed in time. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy houses in Van Buren and Crawford County. Call or send the property details to ask for a written cash offer.

How we help you work toward closing
We give you a written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company. If you choose to move ahead, we work with the title company on title and payoff details. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Arkansas Real Property Transfer Tax. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Mortgage foreclosure or a property-tax matter?
Arkansas permits mortgage sales under its Statutory Foreclosure Act. Before a nonjudicial sale, the trustee or lender must record the required notice of default, provide and publish required notices, and wait through the statutory minimum notice period. A judicial foreclosure goes through a court case and can include a right to redeem after the sale unless it was validly waived. The deed of trust, notices, court docket, and any waiver help show which process applies; the actual documents and deadlines matter.
A county property-tax notice is separate from a lender's mortgage-foreclosure notice. Each process has its own notices and dates, so do not apply a mortgage-foreclosure timeline to a tax matter. For a Crawford County real-estate tax account or payment question, contact the County Collector listed below.
Arkansas Code, Title 18: foreclosure and judicial-sale lawsIf 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 review current payoff information with you as we look at the title and sale details. Any lender decision is specific to the lender, property, and case.

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.

Can I sell my Van Buren house before a mortgage foreclosure sale?
A sale still depends on the payoff, title, notices, and required steps being completed in time.
Is mortgage foreclosure the same as a property-tax sale in Arkansas?
No. A mortgage foreclosure and a county property-tax matter are different processes with their own notices and dates. Follow the notice you received; do not use a mortgage-foreclosure deadline for a tax matter. Crawford County property-tax account questions go to the County Collector.
What if my mortgage payoff is more than my house is worth?
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. A lender decision is specific to the lender, property, and case.
Do I need to pay back taxes or liens before selling to 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.
Do I need to repair or clean out the house before asking for an offer?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
