Real Estate Agent with Genius Realty

The San Antonio property market is not spared from the increasing number of foreclosures. Fortunately, many homebuyers are able to save their homes through halting and dismissing the process of foreclosure. A reliable REALTOR in San Antonio may provide insights about how to effectively deal with it. But it is possible for a homeowner to do it on his own.

REALTOR in San Antonio

 

You may opt to hire a REALTOR in San Antonio or not. It is always important for you to know and understand available options you could take to get your property out of foreclosure especially if you want to save the home and you want to spare your credit history from its possible impact.

Repaying the loan

The best and fastest way to get home out of foreclosure not just in the San Antonio property market but in the entire real estate industry as a whole is through settling the amount of outstanding mortgage/home loan. To begin the process, contact the loan provider and ask for a written statement containing the total amount to be repaid to prevent a default.

Pay the required amount in full through cash, check, or bank wire. Require the lender to rescind the process of default or to pull out its foreclosure complaint. You have to make sure the loan provider eliminates any existence of any pending foreclosure on your property. Closely monitor the removal or dismissal of foreclosure proceeding to make sure the lender would stick to its obligation to pull out your home from any foreclosure. It is possible to seek court order to prompt action if the lender fails to take its part.

Seeking loan modification

If you don’t have enough resources to repay the loan amount in full, it is possible to have the mortgage modified. Inquire about loan modification procedure from your lender. Initiate the process immediately to halt the foreclosure process. Provide required documentation to support your request for modification.

You may seek the assistance and guidance of a reliable REALTOR in San Antonio. Loan modification could be a slow and challenging process and you may not want to get directly involved with the leg work and the tedious process. Have the modification documents reviewed by your legal counsel.

The loan provider should drop the foreclosure auction once the loan modification agreement is signed. You may also formally file a rescission or dismissal of the foreclosure proceeding. This option is also becoming more popular in the San Antonio property market.
