Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my house while in bankruptcy in MI?
Yes, but the sale must be approved by the bankruptcy court. We work with your bankruptcy attorney and trustee to get the sale approved efficiently.
Does selling my house affect my bankruptcy case?
Selling can actually help your case by converting an illiquid asset into cash to satisfy creditors. Your bankruptcy attorney can advise on how a sale fits into your specific plan.
How does the bankruptcy court approve a home sale?
Your attorney files a motion to sell with the court. The court reviews the sale terms, ensures the price is fair, and issues an order authorizing the sale. We provide all documentation the court requires.
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 home sales?
In Chapter 7, the trustee may sell the property to pay creditors. In Chapter 13, selling is typically part of a restructured repayment plan. The process differs, but we handle both.
Who gets the money from selling a house in bankruptcy?
The proceeds go to the title company, which pays off the mortgage and any liens. Remaining funds go to the bankruptcy estate and are distributed to creditors according to the court-approved plan.
How long does it take to sell a house during bankruptcy?
Court approval typically takes 30 to 60 days once the motion is filed. After approval, we close within days. The total timeline is faster than listing on the open market.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
