Court-ready from the first showing
Why lawyers recommend them:
They know the 9:45 rule.
Competing bidders are briefed on the court’s sealed-bid rules, so the hearing gets real bids and few surprises.
They keep marketing until approval.
The property isn’t pulled when the first offer arrives, so the court sees the price properly tested.
They know who the client is.
Every listing follows the court order and Schedule A, and every offer is subject to court approval.
Disclosure done right.
Known defects are disclosed even in an “as is” sale, which protects the lender and the file.
Respectful with occupants.
Owners and tenants are handled with discretion, which means fewer access problems and fewer applications to court.

Estimates only, for illustration. Not legal or financial advice. Assumes no payments are made and interest compounds monthly; your actual redemption amount, interest and costs are set by your mortgage terms and the court. Holding costs can usually be added to the debt but are only recovered if the sale proceeds cover them. Talk to your lawyer about your file.
