WHO WE HELP
Sell the House Before Foreclosure Sells It for You
The choice to sell house before foreclosure completes is the difference between leaving with your equity and watching the process consume it. Until the sheriff's sale happens, the house is still yours to sell, and a sale that closes ahead of that date pays off the loan, ends the proceedings, and puts whatever remains in your pocket instead of the county's file. Every week earlier is cheaper: fees and interest accumulate on a schedule, and the options thin as the dates pass. This page is not here to rush you. It is here because the sellers who call us in week four keep thousands more than the ones who call in month five, and somebody should say that plainly, because the difference is measured in the thousands of dollars that either reach your next chapter or disappear into fees.
Know Your Timeline
What Happens If You Don't Act
Falling behind on payments in Detroit is more common than people admit - and you're not out of options.
Once foreclosure proceedings begin, selling becomes much harder and time-pressured- A completed foreclosure stays on your credit report for 7 years
- Detroit foreclosure sales often return far less than market value - equity disappears
- Foreclosure is public record, visible to future landlords and employers
- Vacant foreclosed properties are subject to city fines and vandalism
Selling before foreclosure is the move that gives you back control of the outcome.
