Sheriff Sales are real estate auctions conducted by the county sheriff department. When the court orders the sale of foreclosure property, the sheriff schedules the property for Sheriff Sale and makes the sale information public. Although the information is public, depending on the county, it may be difficult to locate. Based on our research, SheriffScan.com provides you with contact information, sale information, and on-line listings (if available) for each county in the state of Ohio. Inexperienced buyers should be sure to do their homework. Although Sheriff Sales may offer property at a low cost, the sale property is purchased "as-is" and without refunds.
