Frequently Asked Questions
What does pre-foreclosure mean for my Toledo home?
Pre-foreclosure begins when your lender files a notice of default or lis pendens. It means you have missed enough payments that the bank has started the foreclosure process, but you still have time to sell or cure the default.
How long does pre-foreclosure last in OH?
The pre-foreclosure timeline varies by state. In Ohio, you typically have a specific redemption period before the lender can schedule an auction. Contact us for details on your timeline.
Can I sell my house during pre-foreclosure without lender approval?
If your sale price covers the full mortgage balance, you do not need lender approval. If you owe more than the home is worth, we can negotiate a short sale with your lender on your behalf.
Will selling in pre-foreclosure show up on my credit report?
The missed payments will already appear on your credit report, but completing a sale prevents the far more damaging foreclosure judgment from being recorded.
What happens to my remaining mortgage balance if I sell?
The mortgage, including late fees and penalties, is paid off from your sale proceeds at closing. Any remaining equity after payoffs goes directly to you.
Is it better to sell in pre-foreclosure or wait for the auction?
Selling in pre-foreclosure almost always results in a better outcome. You have more control over the price, you avoid the foreclosure on your record, and you keep any remaining equity.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
