Start With Your Situation
I'm behind on payments Facing foreclosure, missed payments, or financial pressure to sell quickly.
I have an offer I don't understand Someone approached you with a cash offer, creative financing, or a deal that doesn't look like a traditional sale.
My property has problems Repairs needed, title issues, code violations, inherited property complications.
My loan might be valuable You have a low interest rate, and buyers keep mentioning "assuming" your loan or "taking over payments."
I can't sell traditionally but I'm not distressed You have equity, but something's blocking a standard sale—timing, condition, or market factors.
