Facing Foreclosure?
We're Here to Help.
Common Foreclosure Questions
What is Foreclosure?
Foreclosure is the legal process lenders use to reclaim a property when mortgage payments are missed. While every state has different procedures, the process generally follows these stages:
Missed Payments: After multiple missed payments, the lender may begin foreclosure proceedings.
Notice of Default: A formal warning is issued, signaling that foreclosure is in progress.
Pre-Foreclosure: Homeowners still have the chance to sell their home and settle the debt.
Auction: If unresolved, the home is sold at a public auction.
Post-Foreclosure: If unsold, the property becomes a bank-owned (REO) asset.
Why Homeowners Face Foreclosure?
Foreclosure often results from unexpected life events that make it difficult to keep up with mortgage payments. Even financially responsible homeowners can struggle when faced with sudden changes in income or expenses. Some of the most common reasons include:
Financial Hardship: Job loss, medical bills, or sudden financial strain.
Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs): A formal warning is issued, signaling that foreclosure is in progress.
Divorce or Death: Divorce, death of a loved one, or unexpected responsibilities.
Property Depreciation: Home depreciation or costly repairs making resale difficult.
What Are The Hidden Costs of Foreclosure?
Foreclosure can have lasting financial and personal consequences beyond just losing your home. Many homeowners are unaware of the additional burdens that can follow, making it even harder to recover. Some of the most significant hidden costs include:
Credit Score Damage: Foreclosure can drop your score by 100+ points, making it harder to rent, buy, or secure loans.
Deficiency Judgments: If your home sells for less than what you owe, the lender may still require you to pay the difference.
Tax Consequences: Depending on your situation, forgiven debt may be taxable income.
Future Homeownership Delays: Many lenders require years before approving a mortgage for a previous foreclosure borrower.
