How foreclosure moves in Cuyahoga County.
Cleveland-area foreclosures run through the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas. It starts with a Complaint, and you have 28 days from being served to file an Answer - miss it and the lender wins by default. Answer it, and the case typically runs for months, with Cuyahoga County's long-standing mediation program available to pause the case while you negotiate. If a sheriff's sale is eventually ordered, the property must be appraised and the opening bid can't go below two-thirds of that appraisal - and the sale isn't final until the court confirms it about 30 days later. Until confirmation, you can still redeem or sell.

How to know you're in safe hands
Foreclosure attracts scammers.
Here's how we're different.
The moment your foreclosure became public record, the letters and calls started. Federal regulators publish the warning signs of a foreclosure rescue scam - so hold us to every one of them.
We never charge you a fee. Not upfront, not ever.
Charging homeowners upfront for foreclosure help is the #1 red flag of a rescue scam - and it's illegal. Our guidance costs you nothing, period.
We never ask you to sign over your deed or title.
Your home stays yours. If you ever decide selling is your best path, it happens the normal way - a standard Ohio Association of Realtors contract you review on your own timeline.
We never tell you to stop paying your lender.
Anyone who tells you to redirect your mortgage payments to them is stealing from you. We will never touch your mortgage payments.
We never pressure you to sign anything you don't understand.
Take every document to a lawyer, a family member, or anyone you trust. We'll wait - and we'll encourage it.
You've made it this far. The next step is a 30-minute call - no pressure, and no calling you back if you don't want it.
You have options.
Let us show you what they are.
Every day that passes is a day closer to your auction date. The sooner you reach out, the more options we can explore together.
