If possible, reach out to the new owner directly. Open communication may help delay eviction if you can offer a reasonable timeline for vacating the property. Remember, many real estate investors buy properties using a credit line and aim to quickly rehab and sell the home before the credit line payment is due, typically within 45 to 60 days.
After an investor acquires your home at the sheriff’s sale, one of the following will happen:
The investor or plaintiff may request a Writ of Assistance for possession, the most forceful form of eviction. This process does not require your presence in court.
The investor or plaintiff may promptly file for eviction in the Superior Court where the property is situated. A hearing will be scheduled, and you will receive an Appearance or Summons requiring your attendance. It is important that you attend this hearing.
The investor or plaintiff may visit the property to check if it is still occupied and will usually leave contact information. It is important to either answer the door or promptly respond to their contact. Failure to do so may result in them proceeding with one of the other options.
