Navigating Foreclosure Timelines & Sheriff Sales in Washtenaw County

If you are facing a tax or mortgage foreclosure in Ann Arbor or greater Washtenaw County, time is your most critical asset. A Sheriff Sale means the property is scheduled for auction, which can impact your equity and credit standing.

At Terms Real Estate, our team evaluates urgent foreclosure timelines to structure viable intervention options with lenders and title professionals. We work to resolve delinquent balances or back taxes at closing, helping eligible homeowners explore structured exits, protect their credit history, and transition on their own timeline before auction deadlines.

Selling an Inherited Property AS-IS

Inheriting a property often comes with unexpected burdens: property taxes, deferred maintenance, and the emotional toll of clearing out an estate.

You do not need to spend thousands on repairs or spend weeks cleaning. We buy inherited properties completely AS-IS. Leave whatever you don't want behind. We coordinate closely with reputable Michigan title companies and probate attorneys to provide a streamlined, transparent closing for heirs, personal representatives, and estates.

The Subject-To Debt Assumption Option

Owe more than the house is worth? Have a low fixed interest rate or facing immediate financial distress? A traditional cash offer might not cover your debt or leave you with the return you need.

Through our "Subject-To" real estate program, we can structure transactions to take over your existing monthly payments. The underlying financing remains in place while deed ownership transfers, with payments managed through third-party servicing. This strategy offers a structured pathway to keep payments current, help protect credit standing, and transition burdensome property obligations cleanly under full legal disclosure.
