Stop Foreclosure — Sell Your House Fast for Cash Before the Auction Date
If you're behind on payments or already received a Notice of Default, you may still have time to sell, protect your equity, and walk away with cash in hand — instead of losing everything at auction.
The California Foreclosure Timeline
You have more options — and more time — the earlier you act. Here's roughly how the process unfolds, and where selling to us can still stop it.
Missed Payments
Typically 3+ months behind before formal action begins.
Best time to sellNotice of Default
Filed by the lender. Starts a minimum ~3-month reinstatement window.
Still time to actNotice of Trustee Sale
Auction date is set — by law, at least 21 days out.
Urgent — act nowAuction
Property sells to the highest bidder. Equity and control are lost.
Too late to sellSelling Beats Losing the House to Auction
A cash sale lets you close this chapter on your terms — with money in your pocket instead of a foreclosure on your record.
Stop the Clock
We can move fast enough to close before your Notice of Trustee Sale date in many cases.
Protect Your Credit
A completed foreclosure can stay on your credit report for years. Selling avoids it entirely.
Keep Your Equity
At auction, any equity you've built can be wiped out. A sale puts that money back in your hands.
Zero Fees or Repairs
No agent commissions, no closing costs, no repairs required — we buy the house exactly as it is.
Flexible Closing Date
Close in as little as 7 days, or take a bit more time to plan your move — your call.
Private & Confidential
No public auction notices, no signs on your lawn — the process stays between us.
