See If This Fits My Situation

How it works

  1. 01Price the timelineYour state's foreclosure clock determines the selling window. We map it and, where needed, request a sale postponement from the lender.
  2. 02List or take a direct offerA traditional listing maximizes price; a vetted cash buyer maximizes speed. We can present a fair, no-obligation purchase proposal alongside listing so you can compare.
  3. 03Close and keep the differenceThe loan (including arrears) is paid from proceeds at closing; remaining equity is yours. The foreclosure is over.

FAQ

Sell On Your Terms questions

Can I sell my house after receiving a foreclosure notice?

Yes — you own the home until the foreclosure sale is complete. Even with an auction scheduled, closings regularly happen first, and lenders frequently postpone sales when a legitimate closing is imminent.

What if I owe more than the house is worth?

That's a short sale — the lender agrees to accept less than the balance. It requires lender approval but is far less damaging than a completed foreclosure. See our short sale guide.
