What happens if I am the successful bidder?
The successful bidder will receive a receipt of sale which references the amount bid and the amount deposited at the time of sale. When the balance is paid the successful bidder will receive a receipt of sale for the balance paid and a copy of the certificate of sale and/or assignment. Upon approval of the sale by the Court, and surrender of the certificate of sale, the successful bidder will receive a deed to the property.
What happens if I don’t pay the balance of my successful bid?
Successful bidders that fail to pay the balance of their bid by the next business day may forfeit their deposit or other action as ordered by the Court.
Who has the sale approved?
Illinois Reo Sales Inc is not responsible for approving the sale. The attorney representing the plaintiff is responsible for getting the sale approved.

Successful bidders will generally get notice of the hearing from the plaintiff’s attorney.
What happens if the Court does not approve the sale?
If the Court does not approve the sale, the successful bidder will receive a refund of the funds deposited, per the Court order.
When will I get possession of the property I purchased?
Generally, a successful bidder is entitled to possession of the property 30 days after the date the Court approves the sale. The date of possession is at the Court’s discretion.
What if the occupants refuse to vacate the property?
In this case, the successful bidder will need to evict the occupants. The successful bidder is solely responsible for the eviction, including all costs. Generally a new eviction action need not be filed as the order approving sale entered in the foreclosure action contains an order for possession.
How do I get the judicial sale deed recorded?
