Selling before auction lets you pay off your mortgage, protect your credit, and walk away with any remaining equity instead of losing everything.
Free and no-obligation — takes about 2 minutes.
In Minnesota, once a sheriff's sale is scheduled, the window to sell your home and retain any equity closes quickly. A cash sale can happen in a matter of days, which may be enough to settle the outstanding loan balance before the auction takes place. The sooner you reach out, the more options remain available — waiting until the final weeks significantly limits what can be done to protect your position.
A completed foreclosure stays on your credit report for seven years and can make it difficult to rent, finance a car, or obtain a new mortgage. Selling the home and satisfying the loan — even at a reduced payoff — is reported differently than a foreclosure judgment. Many homeowners who sell before the auction find they can begin rebuilding their financial standing far sooner than they expected. Talk to a HUD-approved housing counselor alongside our process to understand your full picture.
Minnesota gives most homeowners a redemption period after a sheriff's sale, but redeeming usually means paying the full bid plus costs — money few people facing foreclosure have on hand. Selling beforehand is often the only realistic way to convert built-up equity into cash in your pocket rather than letting it vanish at auction. We calculate a straightforward cash offer, coordinate the payoff with your lender, and route any remaining proceeds to you at closing — so the value you spent years building doesn't end up benefiting the bank or a courthouse-step investor.
Not necessarily. As long as the sheriff's sale has not yet occurred, there may still be time to complete a cash sale and pay off the lender. Contact us as soon as possible — every day counts.
If the home is worth less than you owe, a short sale may be an option — but that requires lender approval and takes longer. We can help you understand whether a cash sale can cover your balance, and connect you with resources if a short sale is the better path.
No. There are no agent commissions or fees on our end. The offer we make is what goes toward satisfying your mortgage and any remaining proceeds go directly to you.
We can often close in seven days or fewer once you accept our offer. We will work around your specific auction date and coordinate directly with the lender and title company to move as quickly as possible.
