Depends on if you are the owner or a tenant. Auction is the last step and usually the sheriff will bring a notice. Call the bank and ask if they have Cash for Keys for physically giving them back the keys to a house that has not been trashed or stripped.

HOWEVER if the owner tries to do a Short Sale, oftentimes that auction date Can be postponed. I personally have had auctions postponed as much as 90 days, I've seen others postponed as much as 6mos. Trying to do a short sale is your best chance at getting that auction postponed & most likely be able to stay in the home.

I know people who had to be out within a few days and some had weeks. It's best to contract the main source so your not surpised call your bank or lender to see what the exact date of foreclosure is. .. You can also check with the Clark county recorders web site to see. Sometimes when homes go to public auction they don't sell. So don't assume your living residence will sell. call your bank. Enjoy your day. PennyTue, 07 Jul 2009 07:53:22 -0700
