Behind on Your Mortgage? Facing a Foreclosure Notice of Default? What They Don't Want You To Know...

If you’re behind on your mortgage payments or have just received a foreclosure notice, you might be feeling like the walls are closing in. It's a situation no one wants to find themselves in—where every day brings new stress and uncertainty.

 

But here’s the secret that lenders and "we buy houses" companies don't want you to know: you have more options than you think (and some could get you out of hot water in as little as 7 days).

​

A perfect example is Randy, someone who described himself as "not a trusting person." Randy came to us having already considered - and ruled out - a reverse mortgage and a cash out refinance.

 

He got a "ridiculous offer" from a national company of "home buyers" ... but when he met with our Chief Solution Strategist Gabe Clements, he said: 

 

"Man, he's coming up with some ideas that I never thought of, and this is going to help me! One thing led to another, and I said, well this is what I need to get."

​

While most people panic and scramble for any way to make up missed payments, our team has spent more than 20 years collecting strategies that can stop the foreclosure process dead in its tracks.

 

These aren't just any run-of-the-mill solutions—these are methods that many lenders would prefer you never learn about. Why? Because when you take control, their leverage over you diminishes.

Lenders & Typical "We Buy Houses" Companies May Not Be Telling You the Whole Truth

​

Let’s rewind to why you’re here. You've missed a few payments, and now there’s a letter on your doorstep threatening the loss of your home. It's the kind of scenario that sends shivers down your spine.

 

But here’s something you may not know: these companies often count on the fact that most homeowners are unaware of their rights or the lesser-known strategies that could either save their home, or get out of the situation in a better than expected position.

​

Many of them have a vested interest in keeping you in the dark, as foreclosures can sometimes work in their favor. They make it seem as though your only options are to pay up, sell for pennies on the dollar, or lose your home. But that’s simply not true.

​

You see, there are many alternative solutions that have helped hundreds of homeowners in your exact situation. Solutions that give you more control and allow you to overcome the overwhelm and move into a place of empowerment and peace of mind—even when things look bleak.

​

These Solutions Could Be Your Lifeline
(and they're just a few of many...)

​

Let’s take a closer look at what’s possible:

​

1. Loan Modification: Imagine transforming your current loan into something more manageable—lower monthly payments, extended terms, even reduced interest rates. Lenders might not advertise this, but negotiating a loan modification could provide the breathing room you need. With the right approach, you could reduce the financial pressure significantly, giving you the stability you need to regain your footing.

​

2. Forbearance Agreement: Did you know that you could temporarily pause or reduce your mortgage payments while you get back on your feet? Forbearance agreements are a little-known option that allows you to catch your breath without losing your home. This isn't just a temporary fix; it's a strategic move that can give you the time you need to recover financially without the immediate threat of foreclosure looming over you.

​

3. Selling Your Home: Sometimes, selling the property is the most viable option to avoid foreclosure. But here's where you have choices. Selling through a traditional real estate agent might take longer, and if you're in a tight spot, time isn’t always on your side. However, there’s another option that could expedite the process—selling directly to a company like ours.

​

With over 20 years in the industry, we’ve developed a toolbox of solutions designed to fit various homeowner needs. Whether it’s a quick cash offer or other creative solutions, our goal is to help you walk away with peace of mind, knowing that you’ve protected your financial future. Unlike traditional sales that can drag on for months, we work on your timeline, offering speed and flexibility when you need it most.

​

4. Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure: Think you have no way out? This option allows you to voluntarily hand over your home to the lender in exchange for relief from the mortgage. It’s a way to walk away with your dignity—and your credit—still intact. While it might not be ideal, this solution can prevent the long-lasting damage of a full foreclosure, allowing you to start fresh sooner rather than later.

​

5. Have Someone "Take Over" Your Debt: Most homeowners have no clue this is even possible. It's true... but should only be done by someone who knows how to do it correctly and legally - that means an experienced strategist and legal team.
