I would personally have put a dollar bill in each of their hands, and told them to tell Mom that you had more of those for her, if she has the time to come talk to you for a minute…
Just one way to handle this type of brush off… Keep in mind what you are after here… You want to talk to Mom, and for a few bucks, you might get your opportunity. When she answers the door, you simply need to be able to offer her something that keeps the conversation moving forward… like a solution. Of course I never ask them is if they want to sell me their house, unless there is a “for sale” sign in the front yard, and most don’t have them… do they…?
I like to tell them that if they understood what I could do for them, they would have been calling me… Now, can you spend a few minutes to learn about some options that could save some of your equity…? Then begin asking some questions, to qualify what solution works best for her… and narrow down what will work for her, as you lower her defense mechanisms, at the same time.

go to the recording office and view the docs to see what type of judment was made, if it was the judment to sell at the auction usually the dates from the time of the judment to the time of the sale have been running like two weeks- get her case number and go to the courthouse-the new one- fifth floor and review the file for your self- then you will know what you are really getting into
Where is she locates in Brandon- Let me know how your deal goes hope it works out-I have started yet but I am gathering info and will be starting preforeclosures soon-just getting familiar with all my resources here in the bay
The Judge does not sell the house. The Clerk of Courts in FL sells the property. Your mention of the Judge ruling in the favor of the Mtg co means that there is a Judgment and it will likely take another 30 days or more until a sale occurs.
So the answer is YES, she can still sell the house. This should be done with proper title search and legal representation, as the seller is in financial distress, and other problems could exist that could spell problems for the Buyer who rushes into the deal. Get help.

Well I went by the house and knocked on the door. Of all things she sends two of her kids out to see what I want. I ask to speak with their mother and they say she’s unavailable. Oh well, I guess I’ll just sit back and watch her lose her house; I can’t make her sale it to me.
