Working an Ocean County pre-foreclosure
Catch the suit when it is served
1 case in Ocean 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
15 cases here name a deceased owner's heirs or estate: the heirs decide, often through a probate court. A judicial foreclosure still takes months.
The terms on a record, defined: the pre-foreclosure glossary. Not legal advice; follow your state’s rules on contacting homeowners in foreclosure.
