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.
