FAQ

Q.

Do I have to pay the full amount of my bid the day I purchase?

Yes. Please visit our Sheriff Sales page for more information.

Q.

How do I evict someone from a property I own?

This is a three-step process:

  1. Notice to Quit (this can be a 3-day or 10-day notice, served by the Sheriff's Office).
  2. Forcible Entry and Detainer (this will involve a court date).
  3. Writ of Possession (this is the actual eviction)

We are unable to provide legal notice. You will have to seek legal counsel if necessary.
