A: There are a lot of options. If you haven't previously requested a loan modification, partial claim, or another type of loss mitigation. The loan holder will likely work with the homeowner to postpone the sale to allow the loss mitigation application to be processed. Other options include bankruptcy, deed in lieu of foreclosure, sale of the house to cash in equity, short sale if the property has no equity, refinance, and many other possible solutions. Schedule a free consultation to protect your home from foreclosure.
