I have never had to go through the process of stopping foreclosure myself but from what I have seen on TV, read on the web and seen firsthand within a real estate office leads me to believe there are at least a small percentage of people who have too much pride to accept the fact a short sale or foreclosure is coming down the pipe. Foreclosure is a long process, depending on the state a person lives. Depending if it is handled judicially or not, the process can give a homeowner up to a year to buy back their home. For instance, a year in California is the longest time a person can stay in their home while the foreclosure process takes its course. Over that time they have the option of buying back into their residence if they can cover whatever mortgage payments were short plus interest.
These courtesy periods should not be motivation to avoid stopping foreclosure. When a person sees a mortgage payment is becoming impossible action needs to take place. Asking things like, “how does a loan modification work?” Forgetting about pride and turning to family and friends for support is something to consider.
