Is it too late to sell once a Kane County foreclosure case is filed?

Usually not. A case in the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit takes months, and a property can generally be sold while it is pending as long as the loan is paid off at closing. Timing matters, so a licensed Illinois attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor is worth consulting at no cost to you.

What about mediation or a court-referred program?

The Sixteenth Judicial Circuit runs a Mandatory Residential Foreclosure Mediation Program, so most owner-occupied cases filed in Kane County are referred to mediation. Those programs exist to give you options, and selling is only one of them. We will not advise you on which to take — that is a conversation for an attorney or a HUD-approved counselor.

Do you charge for help with a foreclosure?

No. We are a buyer, not a rescue service. There is no fee to a homeowner, we never ask for money up front, and we never ask you to transfer a deed before a closing.

Kane County · Pre-foreclosure

Selling a Kane County home in pre-foreclosure

Illinois foreclosures move through the courts, and Kane County cases are filed in the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit at the courthouse in Geneva, where the docket is public. The Sixteenth Judicial Circuit runs a Mandatory Residential Foreclosure Mediation Program, so most owner-occupied cases filed in Kane County are referred to mediation. If you would rather sell privately than continue through that process, we will look at the parcel and give you a written number. We do not offer foreclosure rescue and we do not promise to stop a proceeding.

Kane County cases are heard in Geneva, and because the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit mediates most owner-occupied files, the calendar tends to run longer here than owners expect. We have looked at parcels in Aurora, Elgin, and Batavia where the notice arrived months before anything was scheduled. That extra runway is the whole reason a private sale is worth pricing out early rather than waiting to see what the docket does — but it is runway, not a guarantee, and we will never tell you it is one.

There is no fee, and submitting the form does not commit you to anything. An offer is non-binding until a written agreement is signed by both parties. This is not legal, financial, or foreclosure-counseling advice.

If you are facing foreclosure or tax delinquency, you have the right to consult a licensed Illinois attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor at no obligation.
