Buying a Property before auction

[Aneita Williams]

Hello BP,

Is it possible to purchase a property that is scheduled for a Wayne County, Michigan Auction prior to the Auction?

For example, can the homeowner agree to sell the property to an investor to satisfy the debt to the bank even though the property is already scheduled to be sold at auction?  Or is it simply too late for the homeowner to stop the process?

If this can be done successfully, please explain the process taken.

Thanks in advance.
