Facing Foreclosure: What to Expect
You're Not Alone. Let’s Find a Way Forward.
If you're facing foreclosure, we understand what you're going through. We've experienced the fear, the frustration, and the pressure firsthand. At White Harvest Properties, we're here to help—not to judge. You deserve to understand your options, take back control, and find a solution that works for you.
We’ve been there, and we’re here for you.
Understanding Foreclosure and Your Options
If you're facing foreclosure it can be a challenging and stressful experience, and we want to extend our support by offering potential solutions that may help.
My house (Kiera) was foreclosed on when I was a child and I remember how impactful it was on me. My dad had lost his job 3 times in one year when the market had crashed. I watched how hard it was for my parents. How embarrassed they were that they were losing the home they had worked so hard for. It is truly something to avoid. This is not your fault! Our primary goal is for you to be able to stay in your home. I want to make sure you are aware of resources that may be helpful during this time.
If you have tried all of these resources, as a last resort we are interested in purchasing your property and may be able to provide you with a quick and hassle-free sale. Selling your home before foreclosure is finalized could help protect your credit and provide you with financial relief. Our goal is to work with homeowners to find solutions that best fit their needs.
If you’re open to discussing a potential sale or need more information on your options, we would love to speak with you. There’s no obligation, and I want to ensure that you make the best decision for your situation. Please feel free to call or email me at your convenience.
