What Is a Judicial Sale?
A judicial sale is a public auction conducted by the Sheriff of the Supreme Court, where properties are sold to satisfy outstanding debts. The property is awarded to the highest and final bidder, subject to compliance with the court’s requirements.
Importantly:
-
There is no fixed sale price
-
The upset price is simply the minimum bid allowed
-
Competitive bidding can drive prices higher
What You Need to Participate
If you’re planning to bid at a judicial sale, preparation is essential.

-

-
