Behind on payments? Ohio's foreclosure process is judicial — which means you have more time than you think. But every day matters. We buy houses for cash and can close before your auction date.

Real Story: Kathy R., Kettering OH
14 days from sheriff's sale. Mike bought the house, paid off the mortgage, and gave Kathy and her sister 12 months rent-free to get back on their feet.
I was literally panicking when I called Mike. I thought my sister and I would be on the streets in two weeks. Mike didn't just buy the house; he gave us a year of our lives back. He paid the mortgage and let us stay here rent-free while we figured out our next move. If you are facing foreclosure in Ohio, Mike Wall is the only person you should trust.

The Ohio Foreclosure Timeline
Ohio uses a judicial process — which is slower than most states. That means you have more time. But you must act.
| Stage | When It Happens | Your Options |
|---|---|---|
| 30–90 days late | Pre-default | Lender sends notices. No court filing yet. Most options available. Best time to call us. |
| 90–120 days late | Notice of Default | Lender sends formal notice. You still have time — call immediately. |
| 3–4 months after default | Foreclosure Filed | Lender files lawsuit in county court. You are served. Clock is ticking. |
| 4–6 months after filing | Judgment Entered | Court rules for the lender. Sheriff's sale is scheduled. |
| 30–60 days after judgment | Sheriff's Sale | Property is auctioned. You can still sell before this date. |
| After sheriff's sale | Redemption Period | Limited options. Call us immediately — there may still be a window. |
⚡ The best time to call us is now — not when the sale is a week away. Every stage above is one we have successfully navigated. But earlier is always better.
