In addition to the links above, your own mortgage company has programs to help people that are having trouble making payments. Visit their website or give them a call to discuss what they can offer you.
While there are a lot of programs to help struggling homeowners, many of them are tailored for specific types of people or specific circumstances. Like anything else involving the government, sorting through the bureaucracy to figure out if you qualify for a program can be confusing and time consuming. Ultimately, if you can’t make your payment or find a way to modify your loan, you will lose your house. You might decide it’s better to simply sell your house before it’s foreclosed on.
There are three primary options for selling your house.
List My House With an Agent
- House is always listed on the MLS
- Your agent networks with other agents to give your house maximum exposure
- Selling can take several months – even longer in a buyer’s market
- Your house should be in good condition, and you may have to make some repairs in order to get it sold
- Your agent will keep up to 6% of the sale price
List My House on My Own
- You won’t pay a commission to a seller’s agent, but you might still need to offer a commission to buyer’s agents
- You’ll have to get your house listed on the MLS and real estate websites on your own
- It may take even longer to sell than with an agent, and you may not be able to get as high a price
- Your house still should be in good condition
Sell My House To a Cash Buyer
- The sales price will be less than if you listed it
- But you won’t pay any commissions or other fees
- You can sell your house much faster than listing it
- No showings
- Your house can be in any condition -no repairs or clean up neccessary
