Selling a House During or After Bankruptcy
Yes, You Can Sell — Even in Bankruptcy
Filing for bankruptcy doesn’t mean you’re stuck. You can still sell your house — even under Chapter 7 or 13.
In fact, selling may help more than you think. It can:
Stop foreclosure
Reduce debt
Give you a fresh start
You will need court or trustee approval, but the process is possible — and often smart.
We’ve helped homeowners sell quickly, even during bankruptcy, with no agents, fees, or delays.

Real Story — Anthony’s Quick Exit Before It Was Too Late
Anthony filed for Chapter 13 after losing work and falling behind on everything — including his house. He thought the court would protect him, but after missing payments on the plan, he was at risk of foreclosure.
He reached out to us.
We worked with his trustee, submitted everything properly, and bought the home before the situation got worse. Anthony walked away with peace of mind — and no foreclosure on his record.
