Falling behind on your mortgage payments can feel like drowning in quicksand. The late notices pile up, the phone calls from the bank become relentless, and the fear of foreclosure looms large. If you’re in this situation, you are not alone—and you still have options.
At Moe Buys Homes, we help homeowners who are behind on their mortgage find fast, fair solutions. Whether you’re already in pre-foreclosure or just a few months late, selling your house quickly could save your credit and your peace of mind.
🚩 What Happens When You Fall Behind on Mortgage Payments?
The mortgage process moves faster than most homeowners expect. Here’s what typically happens:
- 30 days late: You get a late fee and a missed payment notice
- 60–90 days late: The lender sends a formal demand letter (Notice of Default)
- Beyond 90 days: You may enter pre-foreclosure
- After that: The bank can begin the foreclosure process, taking legal action to repossess the home
This timeline can vary by lender and state, but one thing is constant: the longer you wait, the fewer options you have.
💣 Common Reasons People Fall Behind
You’re not irresponsible—you’re human. We’ve helped homeowners facing:
- Job loss or income reduction
- Divorce or separation
- Medical emergencies
- Unexpected repairs
- Death in the family
- Rising mortgage rates on adjustable loans
- Missed payments due to other debts
These events can spiral quickly, leaving you stuck with a home you can’t afford—and a bank that’s losing patience.
💡 Selling May Be the Smartest Move
If you’re struggling to catch up or your lender won’t negotiate, selling your home quickly can prevent foreclosure and protect your credit.
Here’s why selling now is better than waiting:
- You may still have equity in the property
- You can avoid the damage of a foreclosure on your credit report
- You stay in control of the timeline—not the bank
- You avoid sheriff sales, public records, and court involvement
- You may even walk away with cash in hand
🏡 Can I Sell My House If It’s in Pre-Foreclosure?
Yes, absolutely. Pre-foreclosure is not the same as foreclosure. During this stage, you still legally own the property—and have the right to sell it.
However, you’ll need to act fast. Once the home goes into full foreclosure, your ability to sell without the bank’s permission becomes much more limited.
This is where Moe Buys Homes can help you move quickly and legally.
