In most cases you can, I had this same issue filing a chapter 7 and someone wants to purchase my home, I contacted my bankruptcy attorney and he said as long as there is not a lot of equity like $4000 or less than it is ok, but the trustee will be notified. I would advise anyone to wait if you have a large amount of equity.

Yes you can or they will sell it for you * All major financial transactions must be approved by the bankruptcy court. Contact the trustee of the chapter 13 before taking any action, failing to do so can result in penalties and dismissal (with or without prejudice) of the bankruptcy. A chapter 13 is a "debt repayment" action, the BK trustee will not take over nor handle issues concerning real property belonging to the debtor.

What are the difference between Chapter 7 vs Chapter 11?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation process where assets are sold to repay creditors, usually resulting in the discharge of most debts for individuals or businesses. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a reorganization process that allows businesses to continue operating while developing a plan to repay creditors over time. Chapter 7 is typically more straightforward and faster, while Chapter 11 is more complex and costly but allows for more flexibility in restructuring debts.
