Kent County situations we help with

Inherited homes, rentals, homes facing mortgage or tax foreclosure, and houses that need major repairs.

Before you sell in Kent County

Before you sell in Kent County, check your tax status with the County Treasurer and ask your city or township about open permits. If the home is inherited, the Kent County Probate Court will usually need to appoint a personal representative. We can buy with these issues in progress and close once the paperwork is in place.

Foreclosure, probate and property taxes in Kent County

Most Michigan mortgage foreclosures are non-judicial (“foreclosure by advertisement”). The lender publishes notice and the property is sold at a sheriff’s sale, after which most homeowners have a redemption period (often six months for typical residential property) before the buyer takes ownership.

Probate is handled by the Kent County Probate Court, and delinquent taxes by the Kent County Treasurer. Michigan also has a separate property tax foreclosure process run by the county treasurer. When property taxes go unpaid for roughly two to three years, the county can foreclose and take title, wiping out the owner’s equity in many cases.

This is general information to help you understand your options, not legal advice. Deadlines and procedures depend on your specific case, so talk with a local attorney or HUD-approved housing counselor about your situation.
