Sell a House before
the Sheriff Sale

If your property in Philadelphia, Montgomery, Bucks, or Delaware County is scheduled for a sheriff sale, there’s still time to sell before the auction. Sawmill Homes can step in quickly to buy your house as-is—no repairs, showings, or cleanouts required. We can help run title to find out what liens are owed, work with your lender to stop foreclosure, and handle all paperwork so you can avoid the sale and move forward. If necessary, you can complete the sale from out of state without coming back to the property.

How to Stop a Sheriff Sale

If your home in Philadelphia, Montgomery County, Bucks County, or Delaware County, PA is scheduled for a sheriff sale, there may be ways to stop the process before the auction takes place. Acting quickly is key:

1. Contact Your Lender

Ask about repayment plans, loan modifications, or forbearance to pause the foreclosure.

​​

2. Request a Postponement

Your lender’s attorney can ask the Sheriff’s Office to delay the sale, giving you more time.

​

3. Seek Legal Relief

Filing for bankruptcy or asking the court for an emergency stay can temporarily stop the sale.

​​

4. Pay Off or Reinstate the Loan

Paying the past-due balance or full judgment amount will cancel the sale.

​

5. Sell the Property Before the Auction

You can sell your house before the sale date—even if it needs major repairs or has liens. Sawmill Homes can purchase quickly, as-is, and handle title issues so you can move forward. Call or text us today: 215-935-7110.
