Q: My house is set for auction in a week. Do I have 10 days after the sale to move out ?
The auction sale date is July 11th however, I have a signd contract for a short sale. But my auction date is set already. I filed a motion to cancel sale and allow the short sale to complete the closing date is set for November 10th. I received a email from the portal that a hearing as been set for July 10 the day before auction. The plaintive attorney stated they attempted to contact me to resolve, but I have not got one letter , phone call or response to the email I sent to the firm. Should I move now or will I have ten after the auction sale should the judge not cancel the sale and allow the short sale time to complete.
A: If the foreclosure sale goes through, you will not be able to complete the short sale and will need to vacate the home. Yes, you would have 10 days following the sale. I recommend that you contact the banks attorney ASAP or hire a lawyer to assist you. Best of Luck! Jennifer
