# Sell My House in Foreclosure

State law sets the clock. Ohio foreclosure is judicial, through the county Court of Common Pleas, with redemption open until the court confirms the sale. Michigan forecloses by advertisement, with a roughly six-month redemption period after the auction. Idaho is non-judicial with no redemption after sale; Florida runs judicial through the circuit court.

2. Read the offer: Within 48 hours, signed, with the foreclosure timeline priced in. InTym Properties closes before the auction if title allows.
3. Stop the sale, pick the date: Licensed title company. InTym Properties coordinates with your attorney and the court or trustee running the sale.

## Foreclosure in Broward County, Florida

Florida is a judicial foreclosure state. The process runs through the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County. After a notice of default and lis pendens are filed, the lender sets a sale date, typically 90 to 120 days out, sometimes less. You have a redemption period until the sale is final. A cash sale at any point before the auction stops the foreclosure, pays off the lender, and puts the remaining equity in your pocket. InTym Properties coordinates with your attorney and the title company to close before the sale date if title is clear.

## Foreclosure in Idaho.

Idaho foreclosure works differently, and faster. Most Idaho home loans are secured by a deed of trust, not a mortgage, so lenders foreclose non-judicially: no lawsuit, no lis pendens, no court hearing. Under Idaho Code § 45-1505, the trustee records a notice of default with the county recorder (Ada County for Boise and Meridian, Canyon County for Nampa, Twin Falls County for Twin Falls, and Bonneville County for Idaho Falls). Under § 45-1506, the trustee then mails notice of the trustee's sale at least 120 days before the sale date and publishes it in a local newspaper. You have 115 days from the recording of the notice of default to reinstate the loan by catching up on arrears. The sale itself is a public auction run by the trustee, and under § 45-1508 it is final; Idaho gives no redemption period after a non-judicial trustee's sale. Once it's sold, it's sold. The shorter timeline means acting early matters more here. A cash sale before the auction pays off the loan and keeps your equity. InTym Properties closes through licensed Idaho title companies.

## Foreclosure in Ohio.

Ohio foreclosure is judicial end to end: the lender files a complaint in the county Court of Common Pleas, Cuyahoga for Cleveland, Franklin for Columbus, Hamilton for Cincinnati, Lucas for Toledo, Montgomery for Dayton, and the case runs like any lawsuit, with a decree of foreclosure before a sheriff's sale is even scheduled. Once the decree issues, the sheriff appraises, advertises, and auctions the property, typically two to three months out, though a vacant and abandoned house can be pushed onto an expedited track under R.C. 2308.02. Ohio's redemption right runs longer than most sellers expect: under R.C. 2329.33 the debtor can redeem any time before the court confirms the sale, which means the window to sell stays open through the auction, not just up to it. A voluntary sale before confirmation pays off the judgment, releases the liens, and keeps the equity above the payoff yours; the county conveyance fee, $1 per $1,000 of price to the state plus a county permissive fee, $3 per $1,000 in Franklin, Hamilton, and Montgomery and $4 in Cuyahoga and Lucas, comes out of proceeds like any other closing cost. InTym Properties coordinates with your attorney and closes through licensed Ohio title companies.

## Foreclosure in Michigan.

Most Michigan foreclosures never see a courtroom. The standard route is foreclosure by advertisement under MCL 600.3201 and following sections: the lender publishes notice of the sale once a week for four successive weeks in a local newspaper and posts it publicly, then the sheriff auctions the property, in Wayne County for Detroit, Kent for Grand Rapids, Washtenaw for Ann Arbor, Ingham for Lansing, Genesee for Flint. After the sale you keep a statutory redemption period, typically six months under MCL 600.3240, and shorter if the property is determined abandoned under MCL 600.3241a. The part most owners miss: redemption is your right, and you can sell the house during it. A sale inside the redemption window pays off the lender, ends the process, and keeps the equity above the payoff yours; letting the six months run out forfeits that equity to whoever holds the sheriff's deed. Michigan's transfer tax, $7.50 per $1,000 to the state plus $1.10 per $1,000 to the county, is a normal seller closing cost handled at the table. InTym Properties closes through licensed Michigan title companies.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I sell my house while it's in foreclosure?

Yes. You can sell your house at any point before the auction sale is final. The proceeds pay off the lender, and you keep any remaining equity. A cash sale can close in as little as 7 days if title is clear.

### How does foreclosure work in Broward County?

Florida is a judicial foreclosure state. The lender files a notice of default and lis pendens with the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County. The court sets a sale date, typically 90 to 120 days out. You have the right to redeem the property until the sale is final.

### Will selling stop the foreclosure auction?

Yes. Paying off the lender in full stops the foreclosure. InTym Properties coordinates with your lender and the title company to ensure the payoff is recorded before the sale date.

### I already have a sale date. Is it too late?

Not necessarily. InTym Properties has closed deals with as little as 7 days before the auction. The earlier you call, the more options you have. Email hello@intymproperties.com or call/text (650) 540-1854.

### What if I owe more than the house is worth?

If you owe more than the property is worth, a short sale may be your best option. InTym Properties can discuss this honestly and refer you to a local attorney who handles short sales if that's the right path.

### Do I need an attorney?

InTym Properties recommends you consult one. We are the buyer, not your attorney. We coordinate with your attorney and the title company. Every offer is in writing and can be reviewed by counsel before you sign.

### How does foreclosure work in Ohio?

Ohio foreclosure is judicial end to end: the lender sues in the county Court of Common Pleas, Cuyahoga for Cleveland, Franklin for Columbus, Hamilton for Cincinnati, and a decree precedes the sheriff's sale, typically two to three months out. Under R.C. 2329.33 you can redeem any time before the court confirms the sale, so the window to sell stays open through the auction.

### Can I still sell after a foreclosure judgment in Ohio?

Yes. The redemption right under R.C. 2329.33 runs until the court confirms the sale, not just until the auction date. A sale before confirmation pays the judgment from proceeds and keeps the equity above the payoff yours. Vacant and abandoned houses can move faster on the expedited track under R.C. 2308.02.

### How does foreclosure work in Michigan?

Most Michigan foreclosures never see a courtroom. Under MCL 600.3201 the lender publishes notice of the sale once a week for four successive weeks, then the sheriff auctions the property. After the sale you hold a statutory redemption period, typically six months under MCL 600.3240 and shorter if the property is determined abandoned under MCL 600.3241a.

### Can I sell my Michigan house during the redemption period?

Yes. Redemption is your right, and you can sell during it. A sale inside the redemption window pays off the sheriff's-sale amount from the proceeds, ends the foreclosure, and keeps the remaining equity yours. Letting the six months lapse forfeits that equity to the deed holder.
