Foreclosure in Douglas County
How foreclosure works in Douglas County.
Kansas foreclosures go through the courts. In Lawrence, the case is filed in Douglas County District Court, and if it reaches the end, the house is sold at a Sheriff's Sale by the Douglas County Sheriff.
After the sale, Kansas law usually gives the owner a redemption period of 12 months, or 3 months in certain cases, and the owner is generally entitled to stay in the house during that time. You can sell the house at most points along the way. See your options at each stage.

Cash or list
Should you sell for cash or list your Lawrence house?
Listing with an agent usually brings a higher price when the house is market-ready and you have time to wait for a buyer.
A cash sale usually makes more sense when the house needs work, when you need a fixed closing date, when a buyer's loan would struggle to get approved, or when you want privacy. Compare what you walk away with after commissions, repairs, and months of holding costs, not just the price. We will tell you honestly which option fits your house.
Questions people ask
Straight answers.
Are you actually based in Lawrence?
Yes. United Equity's office is at 4830 Bob Billings Parkway, Suite 100C, in Lawrence. The people who answer 785-371-2304 are the people who buy the house.
Do you buy older rentals near campus?
Yes. We buy rentals in any condition, with or without tenants in place. In most cases, an existing lease stays in force after the sale and we take over as landlord.
How fast can you close on a Lawrence house?
Because we pay cash, there is no lender or appraisal to wait on. The timeline mostly depends on the title company, and we set the closing date around what works for you.
Do you buy outside Lawrence city limits?
Yes. We buy in Eudora, Baldwin City, Lecompton, and rural Douglas County, and across the rest of Kansas.
Can I stay in the house after I sell?
Often, yes. With a leaseback, you sell the house and rent it back while you plan your next step. The rent and timeline are agreed in writing before closing.
