Foreclosure Process in Chicago, IL
Illinois is a judicial foreclosure state with one of the longest timelines in the country — typically 12-24 months from complaint to sale. All foreclosures must be filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, and you have the right to appear, file an answer, engage in discovery, and participate in mandatory mediation in many cases. The long timeline provides significant opportunity to pursue loan modification, loss mitigation, or bankruptcy.
