Yes, You Can Sell Before the Milwaukee County Sheriff Sale

Mortgage foreclosure in Wisconsin is a court case. In Milwaukee County it ends with a sheriff sale, and then a judge has to confirm that sale. Until confirmation, you still own the house and can sell it. The Milwaukee County Sheriff posts the sale list and terms on its Sheriff Sales page. Check it for your property’s date, and check again, because sales get rescheduled.
