The short answer

What should I do if I got a foreclosure notice?

Do not ignore it. The date on the notice is your deadline. Talk to your servicer, talk to a HUD-approved housing counselor, and get a second opinion from a Colorado agent who handles short sales. The Colorado Foreclosure Hotline is 1-877-601-4673.

Foreclosure in Lone Tree: what is different here

Your four ways out

Step 1

1. Catch up, modify or pause

Reinstate the loan, or ask for a loan modification, repayment plan or forbearance. Get every quote in writing. Apply early.

Step 2

2. Sell before the auction

If you have equity, a fast sale can pay off the loan and put money in your pocket.

Step 3

3. Short sale

If you owe more than the home is worth, the lender may approve a sale for less. We prepare the package.

Step 4

4. Deed in lieu

You hand the home back to the lender in exchange for release. Ask about deficiency in writing.

Stop foreclosure in Lone Tree: questions people ask

Can I stop a foreclosure in Lone Tree?

Often you can pause or avoid it if you act before the sale date. Options include reinstating the loan, a loan modification or forbearance, selling the home, a short sale or a deed in lieu. Call your servicer and call us the same day.

How long does foreclosure take in Colorado?

Colorado sets the sale roughly 110 to 125 days after the Notice of Election and Demand is recorded. Continuances and loss mitigation can push it back. Check your notice for your exact dates.

Can I sell my house during foreclosure?

Yes. You can list and sell before the sale date. Selling for what you owe or more pays off the loan. If you owe more than the home is worth, a short sale needs the lender's approval.

What is a public trustee sale?

In Colorado the Douglas County Public Trustee runs the auction. Your foreclosure notice lists the sale date and the amount owed. Homes that do not sell to a third party go back to the lender as bank-owned (REO) homes.

Is a short sale better than foreclosure?

For many owners, yes. A short sale usually costs less in long-term credit damage and lets you decide how you leave. Read the comparison linked below and ask us about your numbers.

Will I owe money after a short sale or foreclosure?

It depends on your loan and the lender. Read our deficiency judgment guide and get any release in writing before you sign.
