This is all your options to find a solution to your foreclosure
DISCLAIMER: We are not attorneys, and nothing contained herein should be considered legal advice. The options discussed are not guaranteed solutions and are subject to various approvals. Bankruptcy proceedings are subject to court approval and may not always be granted. Loan modifications, forbearances and short sales are contingent on lender approval.
Please be advised that the seller retains the right to cancel any and all contracts at any time. Ensure that this right is clearly stated in your listing contract. Additionally, some outcomes may have tax implications. We strongly recommend consulting with a licensed CPA to understand any potential IRS liabilities that may arise.
Work with your Lender
Your lender may offer you a repayment plan, a loan modification or a forbearance. The most common of these options is the loan modification. Your lender will consider your expenses and income to offer you an affordable payment.
Sell the Property
If you’re falling behind on mortgage payments, selling your property is a smart way to avoid foreclosure and protect your credit. You can sell your property through a traditional listing with one of our expert agents or explore a fast, hassle-free cash offer—especially if you need to move quickly. In many cases, you can still walk away with equity from the sale. Even if you owe more than your home is worth, a short sale is an option to settle your debt without going through bankruptcy.
Short Sale
A short sale allows you to sell your property for less than you owe. One of our expert agents will secure an offer for your property and negotiate with your lender to settle the debt. The approval process takes 60–90 days as the lender reviews the offer and orders a valuation of the property. Once approved, the sale moves forward like a normal real estate transaction.
Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy can feel like a frightening option when facing financial challenges, but understanding what it involves is crucial. While it may offer a fresh start, it comes with significant consequences and complexities. Knowing the facts can help you decide if it’s the right solution for your situation.
Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure
