Can I Sell My House in Foreclosure in Portland?

Do you have a Portland Oregon house that’s in foreclosure right now? Many people going through the Oregon foreclosure process want to get out from under that burdensome house and wonder if they can sell the house in foreclosure. The short answer: yes. The long answer: it’s a little more complicated, but usually you can sell your property prior to foreclosure. Generally, the sooner you start, the better.

Can I Sell My House in Foreclosure in Portland? – How it works

There are a lot of folks in Portland who have faced foreclosure in the past few years. Since the changes in the economy, a lot of banks have been shifting the way that they deal with foreclosures.
Remember, the bank that carries your mortgage doesn’t want to see your home abandoned or auctioned. The bank stands to make the most amount of money by helping you to avoid foreclosure by selling your property. However, dealing with banks during any part of the foreclosure process can be a huge pain. Over many years of working with banks to help stop the foreclosure process, we’ve learned a few tricks that will help you.

Working With Banks During The Foreclosure Process

  1. Always over-communicate with the bank (but don’t be annoying). Call with updates and show them what you’re doing to get your property sold.
  2. Don’t miss deadlines. If anything will be late, call with advance notice.
  3. Remember that bankers are people too. Don’t be overly dramatic, but explaining your situation and demonstrating your willingness to fix the problems to make it right goes a long way.
  4. Start keeping careful records of every conversation you have with the bank. Nothing counts unless it is in writing. Make sure to keep track of each person you speak with, what they said, and any promises made.
  5. Explore all your options, including short sale, loan modifications, and bankruptcy. Depending on the details of your personal situation, you may be able to dramatically slow down the foreclosure process with enough effort. Each bank has its own policies to help borrowers avoid foreclosure.
  6. Don’t wait. Unfortunately, time is not on your side. The further behind you become on payments, the fewer options are available to you.

"We were able to pick a later closing date "

“We recently sold my dad's home in SE Portland to Simply Sold Homes. This was complicated by the fact that we lived in Michigan, HO. From start to finish Tyrone ushered us through the process in a very thorough and gracious manner. After this, we felt comfortable and informed we agreed to have Simply Sold Homes to purchase the property and we made the decision from out of state. Throughout the process, we felt we could trust Tyrone to act in our best interests, and our trust...
