Trustee Sale Help: How to Navigate the Process & Save Your Property

When mortgage payments fall behind, a trustee sale can loom in as little as 30 to 90 days. With the right trustee sale help, you can halt the process, protect your credit, and preserve your home’s equity.

What Is a Trustee Sale and Why You Need Help Early

A trustee sale is a public auction triggered by a lender when a borrower defaults. By the time you receive the Notice of Default, the clock is ticking. Early intervention—ideally within 30 days of your first missed payment—gives you more leverage to negotiate with lenders or explore alternatives.

Key Steps for Trustee Sale Help

1. Review the Notice of Default – Confirm the sale date and lender details.

2. Consult a Specialist – An attorney or foreclosure consultant can file a temporary restraining order, but that doesn't always work.

3. Negotiate with Your Lender – Explore loan modifications or repayment plans. Some lenders are willing to work with you, but the terms are usually hard to maintain unless your financial hardship is temporary.

4. Consider a Sale – While a traditional on-market sale with a real estate agent might be possible, the chance that the sale will happen sooner is possible. Consider selling to an investor like My Simple Land where fast closings and cash offers are possible.
   

Alternatives to Foreclosure

• Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure – Transfer title in exchange for debt forgiveness. This is usually the best option to avoid having a foreclosure on your credit history, but you will lose all equity.

• Loan Modification – Adjust interest rates or term to lower payments. Again, this is best if your financial hardship is temporary, but can lead to longer payoff periods and more interest paid.

• Selling before foreclosure - it might seem obvious, but if you can capture some of your home's equity before a trustee sale, something is better than nothing so walking away without a foreclosure on your record and some cash in your pocket might be the best option.
