Avoiding Foreclosure

It doesn't have to end in foreclosure or repossession

Foreclosure is the last resort. If you're facing financially difficult times and you're unable to make your payments, Oregonians can help you find workable solutions. Different options may be available, depending on the type of loan.

 

Some possible outcomes:
  • A temporary or permanent loan modification
  • An agreement to conduct a short sale
  • A deed in lieu of foreclosure
  • Sell your asset (home, car, etc.) and repay your loan in its entirety
  • Repayment plans if your asset doesn't sell for an amount that covers your loan balance
Please DO NOT Delay

We want to discuss your options, but please do not delay. Contact us as soon as you realize you can't afford to make your payment.
