Know Your Options

You have more options than you think

A foreclosure notice feels like the end. It isn't. Depending on your situation there may be several paths open — and the sooner you understand them, the more of them you keep. Here's what exists, and who actually carries each one out.

01 Loan modification Changing the terms of your loan so the payment fits your life again. Pursued by you with your servicer, usually with a HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney helping — both of which we'll connect you to, at no cost. What to ask before you sign one →
02 Short sale Selling for less than you owe, with the lender's agreement, instead of going through foreclosure. This is the one we handle directly, as your listing agent — and relocation assistance may be available. Will the bank pay you to move? →
03 Repayment plan or forbearance Catching up on missed payments over time rather than all at once. Arranged with your servicer; a HUD counselor can help you prepare for that conversation, free of charge.
04 Something else entirely Deed-in-lieu, selling on the open market if there's equity, or defending the case if something about the foreclosure looks wrong. Every situation differs. We'll tell you honestly which of these your situation points to.
Four paths out of foreclosure: loan modification, short sale, repayment plan, and other alternatives.
Where We Fit

You don't have to work this out on your own

Servicers are slow, hard to reach, and the paperwork is designed by people who do this every day for people who never have. That's genuinely difficult to face alone — but it matters who helps, and how.

We don't negotiate with your lender and we don't take your financial records. What we do is work out which path fits, explain what the servicer will ask for so you walk in prepared, and connect you with the person who can actually act — a HUD-approved counselor, a foreclosure defense attorney, or us as your listing agent if selling is the answer.

Why it works that way: HUD-approved counselors are free and independent, and they can deal with your servicer directly. Attorneys can defend the case. We're licensed to sell property. Each of us is good at one part of this, and pretending otherwise is how homeowners get hurt.
⚠ One thing to know right now

Receiving foreclosure papers does not mean you have to move out. In New York you generally have the right to stay in your home until a sale is complete — often well over a year. Leaving early is one of the most common and expensive mistakes people make, and it's how houses end up abandoned. More on that here.
