Facing Foreclosure in Norristown: Your Options

In Montgomery County, a sheriff sale is a public auction of property repossessed because of an unpaid debt, often a mortgage foreclosure. The sheriff's office runs real estate sales online through Bid4Assets. The county's sheriff page also refers homeowners to a document titled How to save your home from foreclosure. Read that before the date on your notice gets close.

Modest New Jersey split-level during a mortgage foreclosure

Selling to Kaizen Home Buyers means a cash offer on the house as it is, with no repairs and no agent commission. The number comes within 24 hours, and closing runs 14 to 30 days or on your date. Selling is only one option and we cannot stop a case. Speak with a housing counselor or foreclosure attorney first, and use the county's resources alongside them, not instead of them.

What’s different in Norristown

What the sheriff's page offers

The Sheriff's Office posts FAQs, Conditions of Sale and foreclosure prevention information. Sale-day reports become available one week before each auction. Sale dates and the last day for attorneys to file change by month, so check the live page rather than any list that someone printed for you.

Options before a sale

PHFA lists repayment, forbearance, payment deferral and HEMAP among possible Pennsylvania retention paths, depending on your loan and household facts. It says to contact the servicer and a housing counselor right away. A homeowner who wants to stay should compare them before treating a sale as unavoidable. Do not stop answering your servicer while you compare options. A missed call or letter can close a door that was open.

Rowhome payoffs and costs

If you sell, the closing will show the mortgage payoff and any other claim. A taxable Pennsylvania deed carries a 1 percent state realty transfer tax and often a local tax, and the contract can say who pays. Ask the lender's attorney for a payoff figure and the title company for a cost sheet. Our offer is a price, not a promise about your net. The payoff, the transfer tax and any repair cost are the numbers that decide your net, so request each in writing. Ask what the payoff includes, since late fees and legal costs can move the figure from week to week.

Checklist before you sell

  • The Act 91 notice and every servicer letter
  • Foreclosure complaint, judgment and sheriff's notice
  • Docket number and the plaintiff's attorney's name
  • A recent mortgage statement and payoff request
  • Records of any HEMAP or modification application
  • The deed, any second mortgage and lien paperwork
  • Photos of the house and its needed repairs

How Kaizen can help

Send the address and the dates on your paperwork, and we will review the rowhome or twin in its current state. The roof, boiler and finishes become our concern, not yours. You get a cash figure to set beside the payoff and an agent's estimate after commission.

A contract with us is not a court filing. A postponement or cancellation has to come from the lender's attorney, the sheriff or the court, in writing. Keep answering your servicer, and give us your sale date so we can say whether a closing before it looks workable. Call or text Kaizen Home Buyers at 267-329-0084.

Facing Foreclosure in Norristown: questions

How do Montgomery County sheriff sales work?

They are public auctions of property repossessed for an unpaid debt, often a mortgage foreclosure, and bidding runs through Bid4Assets.

Is there a county guide for homeowners?

The sheriff's page refers to a document titled How to save your home from foreclosure. Ask the Sheriff's Office for it. Dates and filing deadlines change month to month, so use the live page.

What are the options besides selling?

PHFA lists repayment, forbearance, payment deferral and HEMAP, depending on your loan and household. A counselor can say which ones fit, and selling can wait until you have compared them.

Will a cash offer stop the sale?

No. Only the lender's attorney, sheriff or court can confirm that a sale is postponed or cancelled. Keep every letter from the sheriff, the lender and the court in one folder, in date order.
