Where are you in the process?
Pick the letter you've received. Each path starts with a free, private conversation.
Have an auction date? There may still be time to sell and keep your equity.
California law may let you pause the auction and sell on the open market. A free 10-minute file review tells you whether your file still qualifies, and what you'd walk away with.

Meet Natasha
Who's in your corner
I'm Natasha Mora, a licensed California Realtor and real estate developer.
My family lost our home to foreclosure in 2012, before anyone told us we had options. Years later, as a developer, I went through foreclosure and bankruptcy on one of my own projects. I know what the letters feel like, how fast the dates come, and how few people explain your choices before it's too late.
That's why I started Foreclosure Rescue: to be in your corner while there's still time to sell on your terms, keep your equity, and move on to a home that fits your life.

Foreclosure questions, answered plainly
The questions California homeowners ask most. Have a different one? Text it and I'll answer personally.
Text a questionCan I sell my house before a foreclosure auction in California?
Usually, yes. Until the trustee sale happens, you still own the home and can sell it. If the sale closes before the auction, the loan is paid off and the remaining equity goes to you. A free file review tells you how much time your situation allows.
How long does foreclosure take in California?
After a Notice of Default is recorded, at least three months must pass before a sale can be scheduled, and the Notice of Trustee's Sale must be recorded at least 20 days before the sale date. Many foreclosures take longer, but the dates can come quickly once a sale is set.
Can the auction be postponed?
Sometimes. California law may allow a postponement when the home is listed for sale before a deadline that comes before the sale date. Whether it applies depends on your file, so nobody can honestly guarantee it. I'll check your situation on the file review.
What happens to my equity if the home goes to auction?
Bidders set the price, often well below market value. After the loan, fees, and other liens are paid, any surplus may be available to you, but there is often little or nothing left. Selling on the open market first usually protects far more of it.
Are you an investor? Will you make me a cash offer?
No. I'm a licensed California Realtor. I list your home on the open market so buyers compete for it. If a quick cash sale really is your best option, I'll tell you and show it next to what the market would pay.
What does it cost to work with Foreclosure Rescue?
Nothing upfront. As with any home sale, the commission is paid at closing from the sale proceeds, and you see every cost on your net sheet before you sign anything.
Where will I live after the sale?
We plan that before you list. Depending on your situation, that may mean renting with a clean record, buying again when you qualify, or finding a home with seller financing or rent-to-own terms.
