Facing Foreclosure · Pleasantville, NJ

Facing Foreclosure on a Pleasantville House

A Pleasantville homeowner facing foreclosure is dealing with the same Atlantic County court and sheriff as an Atlantic City owner a few miles away. The case begins with a Notice of Intent, then a complaint. Defendants have 35 days to answer. After final judgment, the sheriff must advertise the sale for at least four weeks.

Modest New Jersey split-level during a mortgage foreclosure

Kaizen Home Buyers buys houses for cash as-is, with no repairs and no agent commission. We make an offer within 24 hours, and closing takes 14 to 30 days or follows your date. A Pleasantville house outside the shore's buyer pool may take longer to list, which is why the calendar matters. Our offer is a number you can set beside your payoff and your court calendar, nothing more.

What’s different in Pleasantville

Where to find the sale list

The Atlantic County Sheriff's Office page lists a Sheriff Sales Unit at 609-909-7225 and describes Thursday noon sales at the Criminal Courthouse, 4997 Unami Boulevard, Mays Landing. The county also publishes a foreclosure sales listing. Look up your address, then confirm any date with the plaintiff's attorney. Sales are often adjourned, and an adjournment is not something to count on. The page also says properties are advertised for four consecutive weeks before the original sale date, so you have public notice that a date is set.

Mediation for owner-occupants

The Courts say free foreclosure mediation is available, and its instructions describe owner-occupants of one to four family homes with the property as a primary residence who are not in bankruptcy. All borrowers must agree. A trained housing counselor helps with the request. Mediation does not itself stop the case, so keep answering papers while it runs.

What judgment does

The Courts FAQ says a final judgment bars the defendant's right to redeem after default. After the sale, the lender seeks a writ of possession so the sheriff can remove occupants. The useful window for a sale, workout or mediation is before judgment, so ask your attorney exactly where your case stands and what dates remain. Ask the plaintiff's attorney for a reinstatement or payoff quote in writing. Verbal figures can change.

  • Notice of Intent to Foreclose
  • Summons, complaint and date served

How Kaizen can help

Send the address and the court papers. We make an as-is cash offer, and the title company orders the official payoff. You compare the two. If a sheriff's sale date is close, tell us the date on the first call. A neighbor's sale in Pleasantville does not set your price. We review your house, its roof and its systems, and give you a number built from them.

We cannot stop a foreclosure, deal with the servicer or give legal advice. A contract does not cancel a judgment or a sale date. Follow every notice and speak to an attorney or counselor. Call 267-329-0084 to price a sale.

Facing Foreclosure in Pleasantville: questions

How long do I have to answer a foreclosure complaint?

The Courts say 35 days, and extensions may be requested. Write down the date you were served, since the count begins there.

Where are Atlantic County sheriff's sales held?

The county page lists the Criminal Courthouse in Mays Landing. Confirm the room and date with the Sheriff Sales Unit. Sales are often adjourned, so a date on a list is not a promise.

Can I sell during the case?

The Notice of Intent must mention the right to sell or transfer title. It depends on the payoff and the calendar. Compare the sheriff's list with your court papers, and ask the attorney about any mismatch.

What if I rent the house out?

Mediation instructions focus on owner-occupants. Ask an attorney about your options. If tenants live there, their leases matter to a buyer too.
