Can You Sell a Home in Foreclosure?

Yes. If your home hasn’t gone to auction yet, you still have the legal right to sell it. This stage is called pre-foreclosure, and it’s your window of opportunity.

Here’s how it works:

  1. You receive a notice of default from your lender
  2. You can sell the home before the foreclosure is finalized
  3. Selling allows you to pay off the mortgage and avoid credit damage

Important: In Utah, the foreclosure process can move quickly, especially with nonjudicial foreclosures. Acting fast is key.

How Fast Can You Close a Sale?

Traditional real estate sales can take months. But when time is tight, a cash buyer is your fastest route.

At True American Homes, we can:

  1. Make you a no-obligation offer within 24 hours
  2. Close the sale in 5 days or less
  3. Handle all paperwork and title issues

You avoid delays, inspections, and mortgage approvals.

Selling As-Is: What It Really Means

When we say “as-is,” we mean it. You don’t have to clean, fix, or stage anything.

We buy homes with:

  1. Fire or flood damage
  2. Structural issues
  3. Outdated wiring or plumbing
  4. Trash or leftover belongings

You won’t need to lift a finger. We’ll take care of it.

What If You Inherited a Foreclosed or Damaged Property?

Inherited a home that’s underwater or falling apart? It might feel more like a burden than a blessing.

We buy inherited property, even if:

  1. They’re in active foreclosure
  2. They have back taxes or liens
  3. There are multiple heirs involved

Don’t want the hassle? We can help you sell quickly and fairly.

FAQs About Selling a Foreclosed Home

Yes. As long as your home hasn’t gone to auction, you retain the legal right to sell it. This is known as the pre-foreclosure period, and it’s often your last opportunity to avoid a full foreclosure and the damaging credit consequences that come with it.

It depends on the sale price and your outstanding debt. If the sale price covers the mortgage balance, late fees, and any liens, then you walk away free and clear. If the sale falls short, you may need to negotiate a deficiency with the lender. We can help you understand and navigate that process.

Not at all. One of the biggest advantages of working with True American Homes is that we buy properties completely as-is. You don’t need to clean, fix broken items, or remove any belongings. We take care of everything so you can move on without stress.

Yes. Inherited homes in foreclosure can absolutely be sold, even with complications like multiple heirs, back taxes, or legal paperwork. We regularly help families in Utah sell inherited properties quickly, no matter the condition or legal complexity.

Yes. We work with out-of-state sellers all the time. We can handle all paperwork remotely, communicate by phone or email, and even coordinate the closing without you needing to travel.
