Question regarding sheriff/foreclosure

[Dylan D.]

Hello, I'm sure this has been answered in many ways but after searching around a little haven't come up with a for sure answer. My question is, is there anyway to make a deal directly with a homeowner after foreclosure has been declared and property is already listed for sherriff sale. The property of interest is actually my neighbors house and I had no clue he was having trouble of any kind just happened to see the house on the county's list of foreclosures. So my question is, is there any way I can approach him and get the house withdrawn and somehow turn this into a deal would love to own the house, we are by no means close but we are close enough where I'm not going to offend him if I go over and start asking questions. What's your guys thoughts??
