Pre-Foreclosure & Distressed Property Solutions

Begin with the facts

Being behind on payments does not tell the whole story. Property value, loan payoff, selling costs, condition, occupancy and the foreclosure timeline all affect what may be possible. We help organize the real estate side of that review without promising a particular outcome.

• Estimated current market value and a realistic marketing period.
• A lender-provided payoff and any other known liens or obligations.
• Estimated equity after selling and preparation costs.
• Condition, access and buyer financing considerations.
• Any scheduled sale date or other time-sensitive notice.

Compare the available disposition strategies

If there is sufficient time and equity, a market sale may deserve consideration. An as-is listing or investor offer may reduce preparation, but price and contract certainty still need careful review. Where proceeds may fall short of the debt, a short-sale discussion may be appropriate; lender approval is required and is not assured.

Keep the right professionals involved

Contact your lender or servicer about the status of your account and any available assistance. Legal rights, foreclosure notices, bankruptcy and tax consequences require advice from qualified professionals. If a sale date is approaching, do not rely on a website inquiry as an emergency response.

Choose based on a realistic timeline

We can discuss whether the proposed sale path fits the known deadlines and what information is still missing. Marketing a property or receiving an offer does not, by itself, suspend a lender’s action. We will be clear when a sale cannot be counted on to resolve the situation.
