What are redemption rights? – These is when the borrower has the right to “redeem” what is owed and get title to their property after the sale. This is not available in all states and the length of this period varies.

Whoever holds the most junior lien has the last right to redeem the property by paying the underlying liens. The highest right is reserved for the owner. By obtaining a quitclaim deed for the owner, you have the right to redeem the property yourself.
