When Will My Sheriff Sale Be Scheduled?
Once your lender has received a Final Judgment in the foreclosure, they are permitted to schedule a sheriff sale. When your home is scheduled for a sheriff sale in New Jersey, it can be a very stressful experience. A common question we are asked is, “How long do I have from the time my lender applies for a sheriff sale until the sale takes place?”
