Avoiding Foreclosure
What are my strategies to avoid foreclosure?
Depending on your lender, your financial situation, and how far along you are in the process, several options might be available. We help you understand possibilities that could include:
-
Loan Modification: Negotiating with your lender to potentially change your loan's terms (like interest rate or payment amount) to make it more manageable.
-
Forbearance Agreement: Requesting a temporary pause or reduction in your mortgage payments from your lender to allow time to stabilize financially.
-
Refinancing Options: Exploring whether getting a completely new loan to pay off the existing mortgage is feasible based on current rates, equity, and credit.
-
Short Sale: Selling your home for less than the total amount owed on the mortgage, requiring lender approval but avoiding a full foreclosure record.
-
Selling Your Home Directly: Choosing to sell your property quickly, often "as-is" for cash (like the option Simplihomes provides), to pay off the mortgage debt and potentially retain some equity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Missouri always non-judicial?
Most residential cases are; the deed of trust + power of sale process is common here.
Can selling really stop foreclosure?
If you pay off the loan before the sale, you can often avoid a completed foreclosure—timing is critical; consult your lender and an attorney/HUD counselor
How does your process work?
We begin with a simple conversation: you tell us about your property and situation, and we evaluate it quickly. Within 24–48 hours you’ll receive a fair cash offer with no obligation. You pick a closing date that fits your schedule—even as soon as 7–14 days—then we handle the paperwork and you walk away with cash.
Is my property accepted if it needs major repairs or is in poor condition?
Yes. We buy homes in any condition—whether there are structural issues, deferred maintenance, cluttered interiors, or even outstanding code violations. You don’t need to clean, fix, or prepare the home for showings.
Do I pay any fees or commissions?
No. When you sell your home to SimpliHomes you avoid agent commissions, listing fees, repair costs, and hidden charges. The offer you receive is what you’ll walk away with—no surprise deductions.
How quickly can we close?
We can close in as little as 7 days after you accept our offer, depending on title work and your timeline. If you prefer a longer exit strategy, we’re flexible and will work with your schedule.
Will I be locked into the deal once I accept the offer?
No. You’re free to review your options. Accepting the offer means you’re choosing to move forward, but until closing you have full control. There are no pressure tactics—our goal is to help you feel confident and informed.
I’m behind on payments / facing foreclosure — can you still help?
Yes. If you’re behind on mortgage payments or have a foreclosure notice, timing is critical—but you still have options. We can purchase your home quickly, which may help you avoid the long-term consequences of foreclosure and protect your credit.
Do you only buy in certain areas?
We serve many counties across Missouri around the St. Louis region, from Wright City and the surrounding areas outward across more than 20 counties. Because we’re local, we understand the market and conditions in each community.
What if I’m already working with a real estate agent?
You are still eligible to sell to us. Working with a realtor doesn’t prevent you from receiving our cash offer. Because we bypass the traditional listing process, you’ll avoid the costs and delays associated with agent-listed sales.
What happens if I inherited a property and I don’t live locally?
We routinely work with out-of-town or out-of-state owners who’ve inherited homes. We handle the logistics—cleaning out clutter, managing repairs (or bypassing them), and closing on your timeline. You don’t have to travel or manage the details.
How do you determine your offer?
We assess current market conditions, repair costs, your timeline, holding and resale costs, and the value of your home “as-is.” Our goal is to offer you a fair cash price that reflects your situation and allows us to handle the remaining work after purchase.
Will the sale show up on my credit or affect my taxes?
Selling your home to us is a standard real-estate transaction and generally does not automatically appear as a foreclosure or charge-off. We encourage you to speak with your tax advisor and attorney for advice specific to your situation.
