You won't be doing this alone. We've been through this many times and we move fast. Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. It doesn't always work, but it works more often than people think — call us and we'll walk you through it.
Yes, a sale may still be possible before a mortgage sheriff sale if the payoff, title, and required steps can be completed in time. USA Home Buyers buys houses in Warren and Warren County as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
One thing that surprises people: signing an agreement of sale alone does not postpone a sheriff-sale date. We use the agreement to ask for a postponement; keep treating the date on your notice as current until a change is confirmed.

Share the Warren address and what your mortgage or tax-sale notice says. We’ll talk through the property and timing.
We review the Warren house as-is and put the offer and written terms in front of you before you commit. If you choose to move forward, closing is through a title company. The title and payoff work helps show which amounts and property details need to be resolved for this closing.
When a mortgage sheriff sale is scheduled, we use the agreement of sale to ask for a postponement so there may be time to close. The agreement itself does not change the date automatically. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 3121 addresses stays of execution. Keep following the date and instructions in your own notices while the postponement request is being handled.
A mortgage foreclosure and a county tax sale are separate processes. Read the notice name and date so you do not apply a mortgage sheriff-sale deadline to a tax-sale notice, or the other way around.
Pennsylvania mortgage foreclosure proceeds through a legal action and can move toward a sheriff sale. The notices and case status give the facts for your property. We use the agreement of sale to request a postponement; signing alone does not postpone the sale automatically. Confirm any change to a scheduled date.
When property taxes go unpaid, the county can put the house up for a tax sale, and the county’s notice gives the date. This is a different deadline from a mortgage sheriff sale.
If a sale closes before the tax-sale date, delinquent taxes may be paid from the proceeds only if enough remains after other liens and closing costs. A sale agreement alone does not resolve the tax claim. Call us as soon as a notice arrives; timing matters. (Pennsylvania Real Estate Tax Sale Law, §§601–603.)
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Ask your lender or servicer for a current payoff statement. We can review it with the title and lien details as part of working out whether the written terms and timing could fit this property.
Share the Warren address, what you know about the property, and whether the notice concerns a mortgage or unpaid property taxes. You can call when a letter arrives; you do not have to wait until you have every answer.
We put the cash offer and terms in writing before you commit. You can compare them with the current payoff and the time shown on your notice.
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews ownership, payoff figures, liens, tax claims, and the items required for closing. A mortgage-sale postponement is requested separately; the agreement itself does not change the date.
The title-company closing follows the written terms and the payoff and title work for this property.
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.
For certain delinquent mortgages on a Pennsylvania one- or two-family home that is the borrower’s principal residence, the lender must send an Act 91 notice before filing for foreclosure. If you want to seek HEMAP assistance, meet a designated housing counselor within 33 days; the counselor then has 30 days from that meeting to submit an application to PHFA. HEMAP is a state mortgage-assistance loan program.
PHFA’s HEMAP guidance explains the program and counselor steps. Selling is another option, and you can call us when the letter arrives. For a county tax sale, use the date on the county’s notice; the mortgage and tax-sale dates are not interchangeable.

Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
A sale may be possible if the payoff, title, and required closing steps can be completed in time. The notice and case status matter, and an agreement of sale by itself does not change the scheduled date.
No. We use the agreement to ask for a postponement, but signing alone does not postpone the sale automatically. Confirm any change to the date shown on your notice.
No. Mortgage foreclosure is a legal action that can proceed to a sheriff sale. Unpaid property taxes can lead to a separate county tax sale, with the date shown on the county notice. Keep the two notices and deadlines 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. If a county tax sale has been noticed, the notice date still matters; a sale agreement alone does not resolve the tax claim, and taxes may be paid from proceeds only if enough remains after other liens and closing costs.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we’ve gotten lenders to come down before. Ask your lender for a current payoff so the figures can be reviewed with the property and title details.
Here's what sellers across Pennsylvania have said about working with us.
“We'd been in our Wesleyville place for thirty-one years. Raised three kids there. But the property taxes were $4,200 a year and the house had more rooms than we'd ever use again. USA Home Buyers gave us a clean, quick exit. Closed in nine days. We had our equity check before Christmas.”
“Lawrence Park house, divorce, court order to sell. We hadn't spoken in months except through lawyers. USA Home Buyers sent one offer — we both said yes, separately, through our attorneys — and closed in fourteen days. Didn't have to share a room with my ex once.”
“I was behind on my mortgage with a sheriff sale looming. I didn't realize I still had equity or that I had options. USA Home Buyers explained everything clearly, the offer was fair, and we closed in 9 days — the foreclosure was dismissed at closing.”
