Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my house in foreclosure in Lexington, KY?
Yes. You can sell your home at any point before the foreclosure auction is finalized. EasyOffer buys properties in pre-foreclosure and active foreclosure throughout Kentucky.
Will selling stop the foreclosure process in KY?
Once you sell and the mortgage is paid off at closing, the foreclosure is dismissed. The sale satisfies the lender, and the proceedings end.
How fast can I close if my auction date is coming up?
We can close in as few as 7 days. If your auction date is imminent, contact us immediately so we can expedite the process with the title company.
What if I owe more than the house is worth in Lexington?
If you are underwater, a short sale may be an option. We can negotiate with your lender on your behalf to get the deficiency waived so you walk away clean.
Will a foreclosure sale hurt my credit score?
Selling before the foreclosure completes is far less damaging to your credit than a completed foreclosure or tax sale. A standard sale typically does not appear as a derogatory mark.
Do I need to pay my back mortgage payments before selling?
No. All outstanding mortgage payments, late fees, and penalties are paid from the sale proceeds at closing. You do not need to catch up before selling.
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.”
