Can I Sell My Vincennes House Before Foreclosure?

How we help with a foreclosure sale

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

If a sheriff's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

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. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.

Mortgage foreclosure or tax sale?

A mortgage foreclosure is a court case involving a lender and can lead to a sheriff’s sale. Indiana’s redemption rule lets you keep the house before the sale by paying the full judgment, interest, and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the case stage. Read Indiana Code § 32-29-7-7 →

A tax sale for unpaid property taxes is a separate county process with its own notice and sale date. The Knox County Treasurer can answer property-tax account questions. Not sure which notice you have? Call us — we’ll sort it out with you.

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. We’ll talk through the house, the notice, your payoff, and the sale date. You get the written offer and terms before you decide.

If you want to move ahead, the title company checks the title and gets current payoff figures from the lender and other creditors. We work with the title company toward closing before the sheriff’s sale.

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.
