Facing foreclosure in Anacortes? Start here.
Skagit County (Mount Vernon, Burlington, Anacortes) follows Washington's non-judicial process, and strong local values mean many owners behind on payments still have equity to protect by selling before the sale. Whatever stage you're at — a few payments behind, a Notice of Default, or a scheduled trustee's sale — we can help you understand exactly where you stand and what to do next.
How foreclosure works for Anacortes homeowners
Like the rest of Washington, Anacortes foreclosures are handled non-judicially under the state Deed of Trust Act — through a trustee, without a court case. The lender records a Notice of Trustee's Sale with the Skagit County Auditor in Mount Vernon, and by law the sale can't happen sooner than 120 days after that notice. Sales for Skagit County homes are typically held at the Skagit County Courthouse in Mount Vernon.
The most important deadline: you can usually reinstate your loan (pay what's past due plus costs) up to 11 days before the sale — and you can sell right up until the sale itself. That's why Anacortes homeowners who act early keep the most options.

Anacortes foreclosure questions
Can I sell my house fast in Anacortes if I'm facing foreclosure?
Yes. In Washington your right to sell lasts until the trustee's sale itself, so Anacortes homeowners can sell — to a cash buyer or on the market — any time before that date. A cash sale can often close in days, before your sale date, so you protect your credit and equity.
How long do I have before a foreclosure sale in Anacortes?
Washington is a non-judicial foreclosure state. After you're 120+ days behind, the lender records a Notice of Trustee's Sale, and by law the sale can't be held sooner than 120 days after that. So Anacortes homeowners typically have several months to act — but the sooner the better.
Where is the foreclosure auction held for Anacortes homes?
Anacortes is in Skagit County, so trustee's sales for local homes are generally held at the Skagit County Courthouse in Mount Vernon, and the notices are recorded with the Skagit County Auditor in Mount Vernon.
Do you charge Anacortes homeowners any fees?
Never. Our help is free, and if you sell to us there are no commissions, no closing costs, and no repairs — we buy as-is. Anyone asking for money upfront to stop a foreclosure is a scam.
