Working a San Mateo County pre-foreclosure
Catch the suit when it is served
4 cases in San Mateo County first published a notice this week. An alert brings each new one to you the morning after it runs, months before any sale could be set.
Check the property and the equity
Look the parcel up in the county's property records, by parcel ID, address or legal description. Compare what is owed, where you can tell, with what the home would sell for. Equity is what gives the owner choices.
Reach the owner, plainly and kindly
The owner can still sell, reinstate, refinance, short-sell or hand back the deed in lieu. Write a short letter to the mailing address on the record; say who you are and what you can offer, and never pressure.
Know the clock
A judicial foreclosure takes months from the first filing to any sale, and the owner keeps the title until then. Early contact gives everyone the most options.
The terms on a record, defined: the pre-foreclosure glossary. Not legal advice; follow your state’s rules on contacting homeowners in foreclosure.

How do I find San Mateo County lis pendens and pre-foreclosure filings?
When a lender sues, it records a lis pendens in the county's official records, and an owner who cannot be served in person is served by a published notice of action. Each case here is built from those published notices: the case number, the lender, the owners named and their last known addresses, and the property. Search the county by owner, lender, street or case number; the court file itself is kept by the clerk.
Are San Mateo County pre-foreclosures mostly mortgage foreclosures?
Mostly: 100% of the San Mateo County cases we hold are mortgage foreclosures brought by a lender or servicer, and 0 cases are an association's or other lien foreclosure. Each record says which.
How long does a San Mateo County owner have to respond?
Each record carries the date the notice gives the owner to answer, where it prints one. The date to answer does not set a sale: a judicial foreclosure goes on to a judgment first, and only then can a sale be set.
Do San Mateo County records include the owner's mailing address and the property address?
0% of San Mateo County cases give at least one owner's last known mailing address, and 0% print the property's street address; the rest describe the land by its legal description, which the record keeps with the parcel ID where printed. Both open with an account, and a field the notice did not print is left out rather than guessed.
