My goal is to provide you with the guidance and support you need to explore your options and make informed decisions about your home.

Understanding Virginia Pre-Foreclosure and Short Sales

Pre-foreclosure occurs when a homeowner falls behind on mortgage payments, and the lender begins the legal process to reclaim the property. However, during this period, the homeowner still has the opportunity to explore alternatives to avoid foreclosure.

One such alternative is a short sale, which involves selling the property for less than the outstanding mortgage balance, with the lender’s approval. While this option might not be ideal, it can help homeowners avoid the long-term financial and credit damage associated with foreclosure.
