YOU MAY STILL BE ABLE TO SAVE YOUR
PROPERT Y AND YOU HAVE OTHER
RIGHTS EVEN IF THE SHERIFF’S SALE
DOES TAKE PLACE
1. If the Sheriff’s Sale is not stopped, your
property will be sold to the highest bidder.
You may find out the price bid by calling
McCabe, Weisberg and Conway, P.C.,
Esquire at (215) 790-1010.
2. You may be able to petition the Court to set
aside the sale if the bid price was grossly
inadequate compared to the value of your

3. The sale will go through only if the buyer
pays the Sheriff the full amount due on the
sale. To find out if this has happened, you
may call McCabe, Weisberg and Conway,
P.C. at (215) 790-1010.
4. If the amount due from the buyer is not paid
to the Sheriff, you will remain the owner of

Sheriff and the Sheriff gives a deed to the
buyer. At that time, the buyer may bring
legal proceedings to evict you.
6. You may be entitled to a share of the
money which was paid for your real estate.
A schedule of distribution of the money
bid for your real estate will be filed by the
Sheriff within thirty (30) days of the sale.

exceptions (reasons why the proposed
