Received a Sheriff Sale Notice?
If you just received a sheriff sale notice, you may be wondering what happens next and whether you still have time to sell your house.
At REInventure, we work directly with homeowners in Reading, Berks County, and surrounding areas who are trying to understand their options before a sheriff sale.
You do not need to have everything figured out before contacting us. We can talk through the property, the condition of the house, and what you’re hoping to accomplish.
If selling the house as-is makes sense, we can explain what that could look like.
There’s no pressure and no obligation.

Can You Sell Your House Before a Sheriff Sale in Pennsylvania?
In many cases, yes — a homeowner may still be able to sell before the sheriff sale happens.
The biggest thing is timing. The sooner you understand the sale date, what is owed on the property, and whether there are any liens or unpaid taxes, the better.
If you’re thinking about selling, it helps to know:
- The sheriff sale date
- Your current mortgage balance
- Any unpaid taxes or other liens
- What the property may be worth as-is
- Whether a sale would cover the amounts owed
REInventure can help you look at the property from a selling standpoint and explain what an as-is offer could look like.
For legal advice about foreclosure, your rights, or how a sheriff sale affects you, you should speak with a qualified Pennsylvania attorney or housing counselor.
What If Your House Needs Repairs?
You do not have to fix up the house before talking with us.
We look at properties in all kinds of condition, including homes with:
- Older kitchens or bathrooms
- Roof or exterior repairs
- Plumbing or electrical issues
- Water damage
- Clutter or unwanted belongings
- Deferred maintenance
- Vacant or inherited properties
If we make an offer, it will be based on the house in its current condition.
You do not need to clean everything out, make repairs, or get the property ready for showings before we come take a look.
Work Directly with Nick and Lynn
When you contact REInventure, you’re talking directly with us — not a national call center or someone reading from a script.
We’ll ask a few questions about the property, what’s going on, and what you’re hoping to do.
If it looks like we may be able to help, we can set up a time to see the house and talk through the numbers with you.
And if selling to us doesn’t make sense, we’ll tell you that too.
Real People. Straight Answers. No Pressure.
How Our Home-Buying Process Works
1. Tell Us About the Property
Call Nick at (484) 791-2141 or Lynn at (267) 287-6308 or contact us online.
Tell us a little about the house, its condition, and what’s going on.
2. Let Us Know About Any Deadlines
If you already have a sheriff sale date or another important deadline, tell us right away.
That helps us understand how much time there may be to review the property and your options.
3. We’ll Take a Look at the House
If it seems like the property may be a fit for us, we can schedule a time to see it.
You do not need to clean everything out or make repairs before we come.
4. Review the Offer
If the numbers work, we’ll explain the offer and the purchase agreement, so you understand what is being proposed.
There’s no obligation just because we looked at the property.
Serving Homeowners in Reading and Berks County
REInventure works with homeowners throughout Reading, Berks County, and surrounding areas who are dealing with difficult property situations.
That can include:
- A scheduled sheriff sale
- Falling behind on mortgage payments
- A house that needs major repairs
- An inherited property
- A vacant or unwanted house
- A rental property you no longer want to manage
If you’re not sure what to do next, you can still reach out.
Sometimes the first step is simply talking through the situation and finding out whether selling the house as-is makes sense.
