You're in Pre-Foreclosure... Now What?

Finding out your home is in pre-foreclosure can be stressful, but it doesn't mean you've lost your house. Pre-foreclosure is the period after you've fallen behind on your mortgage but before your home is sold at a foreclosure auction. During this time, you still have options with a cash buyer like yours truly, Olam Equities Group.

Step 1: Don't Ignore the Situation

Open every letter from your lender and understand where you are in the foreclosure process. Acting early gives you the most flexibility.

Step 2: Contact Your Lender

Your mortgage servicer may offer solutions such as:

• Loan modification

• Repayment plan

• Forbearance

• Mortgage reinstatement

Ask about all available loss mitigation options.

Step 3: Consider Selling Your Home

If keeping the home isn't realistic, selling before foreclosure may help you:

• Avoid foreclosure

• Protect your credit

• Preserve your home equity

• Move on with fewer financial consequences

If time is limited, a cash home buyer like Olam Equities Group may be able to purchase your home as-is and close more quickly than a traditional sale.

Don't Wait

The longer you wait, the fewer options you may have. Whether you want to keep your home or sell it, taking action as soon as possible gives you the best chance of a positive outcome.
