If I am no longer able to keep my home, what are my options? Click to open answer

Full Payoff

A borrower who has equity (property value is higher than the total amount owed) in their property, has the option to list their property for sale and payoff the loan in full out of the proceeds of the sale, for a release of lien and full satisfaction of the debt.

Short Sale

In instances where a borrower owes more on their loan than the fair market value of the property (Negative Equity), a short sale of the home may be an option. As part of this program, the borrower reaches an agreement to sell the property at market value, but less than the mortgage payoff, contingent on the mortgage company agreeing to release the lien for less than the remaining balance.

  • Eliminate the mortgage debt
  • Start repairing your credit sooner than if you went through a foreclosure
  • Move out on your own terms and into a more affordable home
  • Relocation assistance funds may be available

Please note that there may be tax implications for borrowers completing a short sale. Please consult your tax advisor for specific information.

Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure (DIL) or Mortgage Release

An agreement where the borrower transfers their ownership interest of the property to the mortgage company, in exchange for a release from the lien and mortgage.

  • Eliminates the mortgage debt
  • Reduces the amount of foreclosure fees and costs owed by the borrower
  • May be eligible for relocation assistance funds
  • Start repairing credit sooner than going through a foreclosure
  • Borrower has more flexibility and control with the move out process
