🏚️ Pre-Foreclosure vs. Foreclosure?

Pre-foreclosure begins when you’ve missed a few mortgage payments, typically 90 days past due. The lender will file a Lis Pendens (notice of lawsuit) and start legal proceedings to take back the property. However, you still legally own the home during this period.

Foreclosure is the legal process by which the lender repossesses your property. Florida, foreclosure is a judicial process, meaning the lender must go through the court system. Once the foreclosure is finalized, your home can be sold at auction.

👉 Important: You can sell your house at any time before the foreclosure auction date.

🧠 Common Questions About Selling During Foreclosure

❓ Will selling my house stop the foreclosure?

Yes—once the sale closes and the lender is paid off, foreclosure is canceled.

❓ Can I sell my house myself (FSBO) in pre-foreclosure?

Yes, but working with an attorney or an experienced real estate team can speed up the process and avoid delays.

❓ Do I need the lender’s permission to sell?

Only if it’s a short sale (selling for less than what you owe). If there’s enough equity to cover your loan, you don’t need lender approval.

❓ Will I get any money from the sale?

If your home sells for more than what you owe, the excess goes to you. A cash buyer can help you determine this quickly.

❓How quickly can a cash home buyer close?

Here at Particular Properties, with our cash offer we can typically close 5-7 days. If the home has several liens, is selling as a short sale, or has other title issues, these can delay closing.
