What Is Foreclosure?
Foreclosure is the legal process lenders use to take ownership of a home after the borrower has stopped making payments. In Missouri, this process can move quickly, which is why it’s critical to understand your rights and take action early.
The Basic Concept If you miss mortgage payments, your lender can begin foreclosure proceedings—usually after 90 days. In Missouri, this is often a non-judicial process, which means it can happen without going to court.
Common Misconceptions
I can't sell my home during foreclosure.
No one will help me unless I sell.
I'm too late to stop the process.
Why Avoiding Foreclosure Matters
Foreclosure can severely damage your credit, delay your ability to rent or buy again, and cause years of financial setbacks. But there are ways to stop or delay it—and often, foreclosure prevention support you didn’t know existed.

Common Options to Avoid Foreclosure
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. You might qualify for help, or you might decide to sell before it’s too late. We’ll walk you through it either way. Here are the most common options:
1
Loan
Modification
Renegotiate your mortgage terms to lower payments or extend the loan period.
2
Forbearance or Repayment Plan
Temporary relief from payments, or a schedule to catch up.
3
Selling the Home (Cash or As-Is)
If keeping the home isn’t realistic, a fair cash sale might help you move on with dignity—and fast.
4
Deed in Lieu or Short Sale
Legal alternatives where you surrender or sell the home to settle debt, often with lender cooperation.
When to Use These Foreclosure Options
You've missed one or more mortgage payments.
You've received
a Notice of Default.
You've experienced financial hardship (job loss, divorce, illness).
You're overwhelmed
and unsure what to do.

Real-World Example
Case Study – Helping a Homeowner in Crisis The Situation
We were contacted by a concerned DoorDasher who noticed a homeowner living without water or heat in the middle of winter. After we made contact, it became clear the homeowner was in declining health, emotionally and physically, and no longer able to care for the property.
Our Approach
We fixed broken water lines and offered emotional support, even before discussing a potential sale. When social services stepped in and the homeowner was hospitalized, we maintained communication and trust, continuing to help even without knowing whether a sale would occur.
The Outcome
The homeowner chose to sell once they felt safe, respected, and informed. We closed quickly—before another mortgage payment was due—and gave them the peace of mind to focus on their health, without the fear of foreclosure hanging over them.
