Comparing a sale when a foreclosure deadline matters

Independent homeowner help

The Washington Department of Commerce directs homeowners to free housing counseling at 1-877-894-4663. Read the official Foreclosure Fairness Program information. Seek qualified legal advice about your circumstances. This website is a property buyer, not a counselor, law firm or government program.

Keep these questions separate

Do not use estimated equity as a deadline answer

A positive worksheet result does not confirm title, payoff amounts, sale authority or a completed closing. Get the actual requirements and deadlines confirmed independently.

Keep time and costs visible

For a possible sale, ask title or escrow for updated payoff information through the appropriate process. A delayed closing can change interest, fees and available proceeds. Avoid entering a zero simply because a cost is unknown.

Consider staying as well as selling

A housing counselor can discuss possible homeowner options. Compare a purchase proposal only after understanding its remaining conditions; do not delay counselor, servicer or legal contact while waiting for an offer.

Prepare a possible sale discussion

A worksheet, inquiry or purchase offer does not stop or postpone a foreclosure.

Discuss a potential property purchase

Inquiries go to Washington Home Solutions LLC. A property review is not an offer or a promise to purchase.
