If you're behind on your mortgage and the lender is talking about foreclosure, the first thing to know is this: you have more options than you probably think, and most of them get worse the longer you wait. The second thing to know is we can usually help, but speed matters.

Here's how foreclosure typically plays out in California. After three or four months of missed payments, the lender files a Notice of Default. After three more months without a workout, they file a Notice of Trustee's Sale, which sets the auction date. Once the auction happens, you lose the house and most or all of your equity. Anywhere along this timeline, a sale that pays off the loan stops the process.

That's where we come in. If you're in pre-foreclosure (Notice of Default filed but no auction date set), we can usually structure a sale that pays off the mortgage, the late fees, and any liens, and still puts cash in your pocket. We handle the payoff coordination directly with the lender.

If the auction date is already set, it's harder but still possible. We've closed deals as little as a few days before scheduled auctions. The process is faster, the price is usually lower, and there's less margin for error. But the alternative. Losing the house at auction. Is worse for almost everyone.

If the auction has already happened, the house is no longer yours and we can't help. So if you're reading this, please call sooner rather than later.

What we don't do: charge fees for the consultation, pressure you into a sale, or take advantage of the situation. The price we offer is the price you receive. If you decide not to sell, we walk away and you've cost yourself nothing.

Call or text 415-800-1415. We'll talk through your situation and what your real options are.

FAQ

Avoiding Foreclosure. Common questions.

What sellers in this situation ask us most often.

Can you really stop a foreclosure auction?
If we close a sale that pays off the loan and any liens before the trustee's sale date, the auction is canceled. We have closed in a matter of days when an auction was already scheduled. The earlier you call, the more room there is to do this calmly rather than under deadline pressure.
Will I still get money if I sell to avoid foreclosure?
Usually yes, if your home is worth more than what you owe. At closing the title company pays off the mortgage, late fees, and any liens from the sale proceeds, and the remaining equity is wired to you. Selling before the auction is how you keep that equity instead of losing it at the courthouse.
Does selling to a cash buyer hurt my credit?
A completed sale that pays off your mortgage does far less damage than a foreclosure on your record. A foreclosure can stay on your credit for seven years. Paying the loan off through a sale stops the missed payments from piling up and avoids the foreclosure entry entirely.
What if the auction is only days away?
Call us immediately at 415-800-1415. We have closed deals just before scheduled auctions. It is harder, the timeline is tight, and there is less margin for error, but it is often still possible. Once the auction happens the house is no longer yours and we can no longer help.
