Sheriff’s Sale / Auction

Understanding a Foreclosure Sheriff’s Sale or Auction

A scheduled sheriff’s sale or foreclosure auction can be a stressful and confusing experience for homeowners.

A sheriff’s sale or foreclosure auction is a foreclosure-related process where a property may be offered for sale after certain foreclosure requirements have been completed under applicable state laws and procedures.

The process, timelines, notices, and procedures vary depending on the state, mortgage servicer, loan documents, and individual circumstances.

What Homeowners Should Know Before a Sale Date

When a foreclosure sale date has been scheduled, homeowners should carefully review and organize important information, including:

• Foreclosure notices
• Sale notices
• Mortgage statements
• Servicer correspondence
• Loan documents
• Previous loss mitigation requests
• Important deadlines

Understanding your documents and important dates can help you better organize your information and communicate with your mortgage servicer, housing programs, attorneys, or other qualified professionals.
