Foreclosure Guide

When a borrower stops making mortgage payments to the lender, the loan is in “default.” The lender may then initiate a legal proceeding to sell the property to satisfy the debt. This is called foreclosure, and each step of the procedure is subject to state and federal law.

This section and its "Helpful Links" explains many of the terms, timelines and procedures involved in the foreclosure process in Nevada. ​

🚨 ​ Borrowers, as well as potential buyers and sellers of foreclosed properties, are encouraged to consult legal counsel and a tax advisor. Foreclosure is a serious legal situation that can have a lasting effect upon credit, taxes and many other personal matters. 

Understanding Foreclosure and Short Sale Options in Nevada: What Homeowners Need to Know

If you're a homeowner in Nevada and facing financial hardship, you're not alone and you're not out of options. Whether you're falling behind on your mortgage or simply feeling overwhelmed, it’s important to understand the alternatives before foreclosure becomes your only path.

As a certified Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource (SFR®) REALTOR®, I help homeowners in the Las Vegas area navigate these difficult decisions with clarity and support.

​What Is the Difference Between a Short Sale and a Foreclosure?

Picture

​Short Sale: A short sale happens when a lender agrees to let you sell your home for less than what you owe on the mortgage. This can help avoid the damaging impact of foreclosure on your credit and allow for a fresh start.
​
Foreclosure: Foreclosure is a legal process where the lender takes back the property due to missed payments. It can stay on your credit report for up to 7 years and may involve vacating your home sooner than you'd like.

​How a Certified SFR® REALTOR® Can Help
