Avoiding Bank Foreclosures

Once a homeowner runs into financial difficulty and falls behind on his or her mortgage payments, there is a critical time period until the mortgage default initiates foreclosure. Legal assistance is critical during this period. At Bagwell Holt Smith Jones & Crowson, P.A., we strive to stop foreclosure by:

• Negotiating a payment arrangement with the Lender - As former Lender representatives, we understand Lenders and their needs and interests. We use this experience and insight to negotiate with Lenders to arrange a payment arrangement satisfactory to both you and the Lender.


• Helping homeowners sell their property - As experienced residential real estate attorneys, we can help arrange a sale of your property before foreclosure is final. Selling your property will minimize credit damage, preserve for you hard earned home equity, and may even generate enough proceeds to help buy a more affordable house.


• Investigating refinance options -Refinancing your home, or taking out a second mortgage, is beneficial to some homeowners because it can lower monthly payments. However, people facing foreclosure may not qualify for this option. A real estate lawyer at our firm can explain the benefits and potential downsides as well as help guide you through the process.

Finding yourself in default on your mortgage payments can be very stressful and many become paralyzed and unable to take action. Failure to take action will can result in dire consequences that will stay with you for years to come. Let the attorneys at Bagwell Holt Smith Jones & Crowson, P.A. help you. We care about your financial future. Stop foreclosure now. Contact us today.
