Start with the facts
Confirm the current trustee sale date, request current payoff statements, identify known liens and ask for an agent-prepared market analysis. These details shape whether a traditional sale is realistic.
Make a realistic selling plan
A listing strategy should account for market conditions, property condition, buyer financing and closing requirements. The goal is a completed closing, not simply a signed offer.
Keep the deadline in view
A listing does not stop a trustee sale. Obtain confirmation from the trustee and servicer about any change to the sale date, and consult qualified professionals about your circumstances.
Common homeowner questions
Can I sell my house while it’s in foreclosure?
A sale may be possible before a trustee sale is completed. The property value, payoff amounts, liens, buyer financing and confirmed sale date all affect feasibility. Listing alone does not stop foreclosure, but it can postpone the auction date.
How long do I have after a Notice of Trustee’s Sale?
Arizona law generally does not allow a trustee sale before the ninety-first day after the notice is recorded (A.R.S. § 33-807(D)). This is not ninety-one days from when you receive it. Confirm the current sale date with the trustee; dates may change.
How do I know whether I have equity?
Compare a supported market value with current mortgage payoff amounts, other liens and estimated selling costs. A market analysis and title review can help; an online estimate is not a guaranteed sale price.
What if I owe more than my home is worth?
A short sale may be a path forward, and we’re here to help you navigate the process. Lender and lienholder approval is required, and in some cases, relocation assistance funds may be available.
