Selling Prior To Foreclosure
To avoid a forced foreclosure sale, you have multiple options to consider. Some of these can allow you to keep your home and your credit rating intact, while others may involve the sale of your home to preserve your credit. Working together, you and your PTI Credit Counseling Partners can work out the best possible plan for your needs.
You may want to consider -Selling Prior To Foreclosure – This will allow you to sell your property and pay off your mortgage loan to avoid foreclosure and damage to your credit rating. You may qualify if:
The “as is” appraised value is at least 70% of the amount you owe and the sales price is 95% of the appraised value
- The loan is at least 2 months delinquent prior to the pre- foreclosure sale closing date
- You are able to sell your house within 3 to 5 months (depending on what your mortgage company agrees to).
An additional benefit to this option is the assistance you will receive with the Seller-paid closing costs.
Whether you’re in foreclosure now or worried about it in the future, we have information that can help.
