Behind on payments or facing foreclosure in Springfield
In Ohio, foreclosure runs through the county court system and ends, if it isn't resolved first, in a sheriff's sale. The earlier you act, the more options you have.
Falling behind on a mortgage is stressful, and every week that passes narrows your options. In Ohio, a lender generally has to go through the Court of Common Pleas to foreclose, and if the case isn't resolved, the property is ultimately sold at a Clark County Sheriff's sale. Selling the property yourself before that point is usually the option that leaves you with the most control over the outcome.
What we can work with
- Missed payments, whether it's been a few months or longer
- An active foreclosure case already filed with the court
- A property that needs repairs on top of the payment issue
- A tight timeline before a scheduled sale
Call us as early as possible. This isn't legal advice, and specific deadlines in your case depend on where it stands with the court, so we'd also encourage you to talk to your own attorney.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I still sell once a foreclosure has been filed?
- Often yes, up until the property is sold at a sheriff's sale. The further along the case is, the less time there is to act, so the sooner you reach out the more options are usually available.
- Will selling to you stop the foreclosure?
- A completed sale can pay off the mortgage balance and resolve the case, but the timing has to work before a sheriff's sale date. We'll be upfront with you about whether your timeline realistically works.
- Should I talk to a lawyer?
- Yes. Foreclosure has real legal deadlines. We are not your attorney and this isn't legal advice. Talk to your own attorney about your specific case and deadlines.
