Most homeowners who call a cash buyer are not really asking about price first. They are asking about time: how long an estate stays open, how many months they have before a foreclosure sale, and what they should do this week. This page collects the timeline guides HomeCashOffer keeps updated, plus a short checklist for each situation. It is general education, not legal advice; a probate or real estate attorney in your state can tell you where your own case stands.
Probate runs on very different clocks depending on the state, whether there is a will, and whether a small-estate shortcut applies. Before anyone lists or sells, the personal representative usually needs letters from the court. Our probate timeline by state lays out the typical stages and how long each one takes, so heirs can plan carrying costs and decide whether to repair, rent, or sell as-is.
Judicial states like Oklahoma send foreclosures through the courts, which usually takes longer than non-judicial states that use a trustee sale. Federal servicing rules generally give borrowers about 120 days of delinquency before the first filing. Knowing which stage you are in tells you which options are still open, from a loan modification to a sale before the auction date. See how foreclosure timelines differ from state to state before you talk with your servicer or a HUD-approved housing counselor.
