You Have Options Before Foreclosure in Maryland

Many homeowners assume foreclosure is the only outcome once they fall behind on payments—but that is rarely true. In many cases, homeowners in Prince George’s County can take steps to protect their credit, preserve equity, and avoid unnecessary financial damage.

Depending on your timeline, your mortgage type, and your financial situation, your options may include:

  • Selling your home before foreclosure

  • Exploring a short sale (if eligible)

  • Working with your lender on repayment options

  • Renting temporarily and rebuilding your finances

  • Planning a transition that protects your next move

The key is knowing what your realistic options are based on your situation.

What Is a Pre-Foreclosure Sale?

A pre-foreclosure sale happens when a homeowner sells their property before the foreclosure process is completed. In some cases, homeowners may still have equity, and selling early may allow them to avoid foreclosure entirely.

If you’re facing foreclosure in Bowie MD or Upper Marlboro MD, selling may allow you to:

  • pay off your mortgage balance

  • avoid a foreclosure on your record

  • move forward with less stress

  • protect your future buying power

Carole Webb can help you evaluate your home value and determine whether selling is a smart option.

What Is a Short Sale in Maryland?

A short sale is when a lender agrees to accept less than what is owed on the mortgage in order to avoid foreclosure. Short sales require lender approval and can involve a more detailed process than a traditional home sale.

Short sales may be an option when:

  • the home is worth less than what is owed

  • the homeowner is experiencing hardship

  • foreclosure is likely without intervention

  • the lender is willing to negotiate

Short sales can be complex, but they can also be a strategic option for homeowners who want to avoid foreclosure.

Carole Webb provides guidance throughout the short sale process in Prince George’s County and works with homeowners to communicate clearly and move the process forward.

When Should You Contact a Realtor About Foreclosure or Short Sale?

The earlier you reach out, the more options you usually have. If you are behind on payments or concerned about the foreclosure timeline, it is best to explore your choices before the situation becomes urgent.

You should reach out if:

  • you have missed mortgage payments

  • you received a notice from your lender

  • you are receiving foreclosure-related mail

  • you are considering selling quickly

  • you feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start

This is not about pressure. It’s about creating a plan.
