287 Ill. App. 269 Ill. App. The high bid received at a judicial sale is merely an irrevocable offer to purchase the property, and acceptance of the offer takes place when the trial court confirms the sale. 269 Ill. App. A court is justified in disapproving a judicially mandated foreclosure sale if unfairness is shown which is prejudicial to an interested party.
Trial courts have broad discretion in approving or disapproving sales made at their direction.
In the instant case, appellants contend that the trial court protected Espinoza from her negligence in failing to comply with the statutory redemption proceedings. We believe that the evidence contained in the record on appeal supports the trial court's conclusion. The record on appeal does not contain a transcript of Espinoza's testimony, and we note that Javaras and Prasad, as appellants, were obligated to provide this court with a record that is sufficient to sustain their claim of error. 269 Ill. App. However, Espinoza's affidavit, which was included in the appendix to appellants' brief, indicates that Espinoza made several attempts to contact Commercial through its attorneys and attempted to redeem her property and attend the foreclosure sale.
