Can I sell a house in foreclosure in West Palm Beach?
Yes. In Florida a foreclosure has to go through the Circuit Court, so there is usually time to sell between the lawsuit and the Clerk's sale. You can sell for cash any time before the Clerk files the certificate of sale, pay off the lender at closing, and keep any equity that is left.
We handle West Palm Beach closings through a Florida title company, which coordinates payoffs with the Palm Beach County Clerk of Court records.
How foreclosure works in Palm Beach County
The steps below follow Florida statutes and the offices that handle them in Palm Beach County, which includes West Palm Beach.
Missed payments
Federal servicing rules generally keep a lender from filing until a loan is more than 120 days behind. Use this window — it is the cheapest time to sell.
Lawsuit and lis pendens
The lender sues in the Palm Beach County Circuit Court (15th Judicial Circuit) and records a lis pendens. Once you are served you have 20 days to respond.
Final judgment
If the court rules for the lender, it sets a sale date, normally 20–35 days after the judgment (s. 45.031, Fla. Stat.).
Clerk's sale
The Palm Beach County Clerk of Court auctions the home, usually online. You can still pay off or sell until the Clerk files the certificate of sale (s. 45.0315).
After the sale
Any money above the debt is surplus. Claim it with the Clerk — surplus not paid out within a year of the sale is reported as unclaimed (s. 45.032).

What West Palm Beach homeowners ask about foreclosure
What happens to my equity if the house goes to auction?
If the auction brings more than you owe, the extra is surplus that you can claim from the Clerk. Selling before the auction usually keeps more of your equity, because auction prices are often below market.
How long does foreclosure take in Florida?
Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, so every case goes through the Circuit Court. Contested cases often take many months; uncontested ones can move from filing to sale much faster. The sale itself is set 20–35 days after the final judgment.
Where are Palm Beach County foreclosure sales held?
