Sell Your House During Bankruptcy Fast in Kansas City MO

You might be able to sell your house during bankruptcy in Kansas City. The answer depends on the type of bankruptcy filing you’ve made.

Chapter 13 filers will need to have the court approval when selling a house during bankruptcy. Chapter 7 filers can sell during the bankruptcy process, but the proceeds from the sale may then go to pay off creditors of other unpaid debt.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy filers generally wait until the final bankruptcy discharge to sell. This may protect the proceeds from the house sale from unpaid creditors.

You can also sell a house to avoid bankruptcy. Lenders may take less in loan repayment to facilitate a sale. This is known as a “short sale.”

Lenders typically don’t want to repossess a property. They prefer to have the mortgage paid.

Lenders are motivated to work with you to come to a mutually satisfactory agreement where you may be able to sell the property before a lender forecloses. The lender then doesn’t need to pay all the costs associated with foreclosing on the property.

We can help with the negotiations with your lender to avoid a foreclosure when you sell to us. That saves time, and saves money when you aren’t accruing late fees and paying interest on those late fees. We’ll also pay your closing costs!

There are several ways to sell a bankrupt home, but the easiest, and the one that won’t significantly impact your credit rating, is to sell to avoid a bankruptcy or lender foreclosure on your property.

The Easy Way: Contact us for a free, no-obligation offer. We’ll come to the house for a walk-through meeting, and then we’ll make an offer.

If you accept, we’ll open escrow. During escrow, we’ll work with you and your lender or the bankruptcy court to quickly move to close the sale with cash. We’ll pay your closing costs, and you don’t even need to clean the house before the closing!

The Hard Way: Shop for a real estate agent who will list a house facing foreclosure or a home already restricted as part of a bankruptcy proceeding. This may take some time – a very long time. This is not a listing many agents will take. Or you can take on the responsibility yourself to sell your property.

Then, you’ll need to locate a buyer who is willing to purchase your house in the current condition, and with unpaid liens on the property. It’s even harder to locate a buyer who is willing to purchase your house under bankruptcy restrictions before a final court discharge.

You’ll then need to wait for the buyer to obtain a loan and submit the documents to your lender or the bankruptcy court for approval. You’ll then need to close escrow and pay your agent’s commission fees and closing costs.

Selling your property before bankruptcy in Kansas City can help save your credit from the major ding of a lender foreclosure. Selling before filing for bankruptcy can also provide cash to repay your debts so you might not need to file for bankruptcy.

Kansas City laws regulating bankruptcy and selling your home depend on the type of bankruptcy filing you’ve made with the court, but selling your house before filing bankruptcy means you are in charge of your finances and financial decisions without input from the courts.

You’ll also save by not having monthly late fees and interest on those charges.

You must wait until the court issues a formal bankruptcy discharge after filing Chapter 7 to sell your house in Kansas City. That typically takes 3-6 months from the time you file your initial documents with the court.

You can sell your house in Kansas City immediately after the court has discharged your Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing. There’s no requirement for the court to review anything related to your house sale after the discharge.

It’s wise to contact a legal professional to review the terms of your bankruptcy discharge, however, to determine if the proceeds from your house sale will return to you or go to pay creditors.

We can help you take care of all the details when you sell to us!

You can sell your house immediately after filing Chapter 13 documents with the court, but you’ll need the approval from the bankruptcy court for the sale.

The court will require you to state the reason why you’re selling and submit the name of the buyer, sales price, and the terms of the sale. The bankruptcy judge has final say over the sales agreement.

Selling your house may also impact the repayment agreement terms for your Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing.
