Q: What exactly is the foreclosure process?

A: The foreclosure process is when a lender takes legal action to recover the balance of a loan from a borrower who has stopped making payments. It often leads to the forced sale of the property or forfeiture to the lender.

Q: How does a foreclosure typically begin?

A: The time you have varies. Our best advice is don’t procrastinate and contact a lawyer and then call us as soon as possible, once the foreclosure order has been granted by the court, there is a Redemption period that you will be set by the judge for you to pay out the lender.
