The good news is that if you are reading this, most likely we found you in time to take action and save your home from going to foreclosure. This page has resources to help you understand the process.
The first indicator that the bank is making a move to start the foreclosure process is that they will transfer the deed to a new servicer. These servicers specialize in taking back properties and they are skilled in dragging you along the process. The will send a series of letters to legally explain what is going on, but this is the best time to get help.
An Notice of Default is where the foreclosure proceedings begin and the judge has granted the timeline to start. At this point, “pre-foreclosure” status is placed on your property in public records which makes it viewable on third party sites. This is generally the point you start getting a lot of phone calls from “investors” to buy your home.
When the notice of sale is granted by the judge, it gets published into a newspaper with the auction date. At this point of the process, you generally have under 30 days to pay the mortgage in full or to at least cover all the rears. A discounted sale price of your home or filing bancruptcy are close to your only options once this document is filed.
The timeframe really depends on when you contact us. Generally you have 120 days from when the Breach/Default and Election to Sell is filed with Clark County. In most cases, the homeowner contacts us right around the time they receive the first letter which is more than enough time to come up with a viable solution. Time is your worst enemy and the fees tend to get more expensive from the bank the longer you wait. We can’t emphasize this enough: time is of the essence!
Notice of default is the first step the bank takes to start their legal process. This is when your delinquency status is filed with Clark County and made public on goverment websites.

Your best option may be to let us put the home on the market and negotiate a short sale approval from your mortgage servicer or bank.
