Inherited house in foreclosure, Redmill

Five sisters inherited a house that was already in foreclosure. We got all five to agree and closed on the day of the auction. It needed a roof, water-damage repairs and a full refresh.

“My sisters and I couldn't be more grateful for his patience and dedication.”

Why time matters

How Foreclosure Works in Virginia

Most Virginia foreclosures do not go through a court. The trustee on your deed of trust can sell the house at auction, so the timeline moves faster than many people expect.

  • Federal rules generally keep your servicer from starting foreclosure until you are more than 120 days behind.
  • For a home you live in, the trustee has to mail you notice at least 60 days before the sale.
  • Once the sale happens, Virginia gives you no right to buy the house back, and the lender can sue for any shortfall.
  • A foreclosure stays on your credit report for seven years. Selling before the auction keeps a foreclosure off your record, though the missed payments still show.

The full timeline and every way to stop it are in our guide, how to stop foreclosure in Virginia. We are not attorneys. If a sale date is set, talk to a Virginia real estate or bankruptcy attorney too.

The honest answer

Selling to a Cash Home Buyer vs. Other Ways to Stop Foreclosure

If you can work it out with your lender and keep the house, that is usually the best outcome, and we will tell you so. Catching up on payments, a repayment plan, a loan modification or bankruptcy can all stop a sale. A free HUD-approved housing counselor can help: call (800) 569-4287.

Selling to us makes sense when the sale date is close, the house needs work, or you want it done. If a cash offer will not cover what you owe, ask us about buying on terms.

Questions About Selling a House in Foreclosure

Can I sell my house if it is already in foreclosure?

Yes. In Virginia you own the house until the foreclosure sale. If you sell before then, the loan and the back payments are paid off at closing and the foreclosure stops.

How close to the auction can you still close?

We have closed on the day of the auction. Please do not wait that long if you can help it. The earlier you call, the more options you have, including ones that let you keep the house.

Will my lender talk to you?

Once you sign with us, our title company and attorney contact your lender or the trustee. They show that we are a real buyer and send proof of funds and the signed contract, so the lender knows the payoff is coming.

What if I owe more than the house is worth?

Tell us what you owe on the first call. If our offer will not cover the payoff, we will say so, and we can talk about buying on terms or point you to the other options, like a short sale or a loan modification.

Do I have to pay anything to sell to you?

No. There are no commissions or fees, and we pay the closing costs. The price we offer is the price at closing. If we ever fail to close on the terms in our contract, you keep our earnest money deposit.

I am in the military. Does that change anything?

It can. The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act gives many active-duty service members extra protection from foreclosure. Talk to your base legal office (JAG) as soon as you fall behind. It is free.
