Can you close fast enough to stop my foreclosure?
Often, yes. We can close in as little as 7 days from the time we agree on price. If your trustee sale or auction date is more than 14 days away, we typically have time. Even if it’s closer, we may be able to work with your lender to delay the sale once a buyer (us) is under contract. The earlier you reach out, the more options we have.
Will selling for cash hurt my credit?
A sale is reported very differently than a foreclosure. Foreclosures stay on credit reports for 7 years and can drop scores by 100-160 points. A sale that pays off the loan in full has no such impact — the lender simply marks the loan as paid. If you also owed back payments before sale, those will still show as late, but the foreclosure itself is avoided.
