Are You Facing Any of These?

No matter what brought you here, HOAPnet's free Homeowner Counselors are trained to find the right solution for your unique circumstances at absolutely no cost.

Job Loss / Income Reduction

A layoff, reduced hours, or business setback has made your mortgage unaffordable. We negotiate with your lender or find the right exit strategy even if you are months behind.

Medical Bills / Serious Illness

A sudden illness or mounting medical debt has drained your ability to make payments. You deserve a solution that protects your home and your family's future.

Get Help With This

Divorce / Separation

When a marriage ends, a mortgage that required two incomes becomes unmanageable on one. We help both parties find a fair resolution before foreclosure happens.

Reverse Mortgage Default

A reverse mortgage in default due to unpaid taxes, insurance, or occupancy issues can move to foreclosure quickly. Specialized free help is available through HOAP.

Landlord / Investment Property

Your Options

Keep Your Home or Sell It --
We Have a Solution Either Way

HOAPnet provides access to every available foreclosure prevention strategy. Our Homeowner Counselors evaluate your situation and coordinate the best path completely free.

Loan Modification

We negotiate directly with your mortgage servicer to modify loan terms -- lower rate, extended term, or deferred arrears -- making your payment affordable again. Even previously denied homeowners have been approved through HOAP.

Most Common Solution

Forbearance and Repayment Plan

Forbearance temporarily reduces or suspends your payments. Afterward, a structured repayment plan adds missed payments to your loan end or spreads them over time. Gives you room to recover without losing your home.

Best for Temporary Hardship

Short Sale

Owe more than your home is worth? A short sale lets you sell for less than the outstanding balance with lender approval and the remaining debt is forgiven. We coordinate everything from listing to closing.

Best if Home is Underwater

Quick Cash As-Is Sale

Sell directly to a vetted cash buyer who can close in days -- no repairs, no listing, no commissions. You control the timeline, stop the foreclosure clock, and may walk away with cash in hand.

Fastest Resolution

Foreclosure Defense and Legal Referral

HOAPnet provides access to licensed foreclosure defense attorneys at no out-of-pocket cost. Our legal partners represent homeowners at mandatory settlement conferences and negotiate with lenders' counsel.

If You've Been Served

Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure

Voluntarily transfer ownership to the lender in exchange for full release of the mortgage debt. Avoids a public foreclosure auction, may include a cash relocation allowance, and minimizes long-term credit damage.

Common Questions

Foreclosure Help FAQ

Answers to the most important questions about HOAPnet and your options for stopping foreclosure.

HOAPnet's Homeowner Assistance Program (HOAP) is completely free to qualified homeowners. There are no application fees, consulting fees, or hidden costs ever. Every HOAP Homeowner Counselor is a licensed real estate professional who provides services at no out-of-pocket cost to you. The HOAP Program is funded through real estate transaction revenues, not homeowner fees.
Yes in most cases. In New York, lenders must give a 90-day pre-foreclosure notice before filing in court, and the judicial process adds many more months. Even after receiving a summons and complaint, legal options remain. HOAPnet connects you with foreclosure defense attorneys who appear at mandatory settlement conferences. Do not ignore any court documents -- contact HOAPnet immediately.
Yes. Many homeowners who were denied directly by their servicer have been approved through HOAPnet's HOAP program. Lenders respond differently to professionally prepared, complete applications submitted through our program. Even if you have been denied once or multiple times, contact us for a free re-evaluation -- denial is not the end of the road.
Federal law generally prohibits lenders from beginning foreclosure until you are 120 days (4 months) delinquent. New York State also requires an additional 90-day pre-foreclosure notice before any court filing. However do not wait -- the moment you know you cannot make a payment, contact HOAPnet. Earlier action always means more options and better outcomes.
A foreclosure is a legal process in which the bank seizes your property, sells it at auction, and reports the event on your credit for up to 7 years. A short sale allows you to sell your home for less than what you owe with the lender's agreement to accept the difference and release the lien. A short sale causes significantly less credit damage than a foreclosure, and HOAPnet coordinates the entire process on your behalf at no cost.
HOAPnet can arrange a quick cash as-is sale through our network of vetted buyers who can often close in 7 to 21 days -- no repairs, no listing, no commissions. This is far faster than a traditional sale and immediately stops the foreclosure clock. You may walk away with cash and no remaining mortgage deficiency.
HOAPnet currently serves homeowners in Nassau County NY, Suffolk County NY, Queens County NY, Kings County (Brooklyn) NY, Durham County NC, Wake County NC, Broward County FL, Horry County SC, Richland County SC, Muscogee County GA, and Russell County AL. If your county is not listed, call us -- we may still be able to help or refer you to a qualified resource.
HOAPnet offers a free downloadable guide titled Homeowners' Guide to Life-Changing Options to Avoid Foreclosure. It covers all 9 major foreclosure prevention strategies in plain language: Introduction and Your Rights, Assessing Your Financial Situation, Loan Modification and Refinancing, Forbearance and Repayment Plans, Short Sales and Deed-in-Lieu, Selling Your Home (Traditional, Short Sale, and Quick Cash), Bankruptcy as a Last Resort, Preventive Measures for the Future, and Conclusion and Resources. Download it free from this page.
HOAPnet's assistance itself has no impact on your credit score. Successfully completing a loan modification, forbearance, or short sale almost always results in far less credit damage than allowing a foreclosure to complete. A completed foreclosure can remain on your credit report for 7 years. Acting early with HOAPnet gives you the best chance of protecting your financial future.

Free Foreclosure Help -- HOAPnet Homeowner Assistance Program (HOAP)

HOAPnet's Homeowner Assistance Program (HOAP) provides comprehensive free assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure, mortgage default, or financial hardship across six states: New York, North Carolina, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. Our mission is simple -- no homeowner should lose their property simply because they did not know their options or could not afford professional guidance. Every HOAP Homeowner Counselor is a licensed real estate professional, and every service is provided at zero out-of-pocket cost to qualified homeowners.

Stop Foreclosure in New York -- Nassau County, Suffolk County, Queens and Brooklyn

New York State offers among the strongest homeowner protections in the nation. Unlike non-judicial states, New York requires all mortgage foreclosures to proceed through the court system -- a process that typically takes 18 months to 3 or more years. Before any court filing, lenders must also issue a mandatory 90-day pre-foreclosure notice. HOAPnet serves homeowners in Nassau County (Hempstead, Valley Stream, Freeport, Elmont, Roosevelt, Long Beach), Suffolk County (Brentwood, Central Islip, Wyandanch, Coram, Mastic, Bay Shore), Queens County (Jamaica, Far Rockaway, South Jamaica, Springfield Gardens), and Kings County / Brooklyn (East New York, Flatbush, Canarsie, Brownsville, Crown Heights).

Foreclosure Help in North Carolina -- Durham County and Wake County

North Carolina uses a non-judicial foreclosure process, which means foreclosures can proceed faster -- typically in 60 to 120 days after default. Homeowners in Durham County and Wake County (Raleigh, Cary, Apex) must act quickly. HOAPnet's HOAP Counselors can intervene with loan modification requests, short sale coordination, or cash sale referrals for qualifying homeowners.

Foreclosure Help in Florida -- Broward County

Florida is a judicial foreclosure state. Broward County homeowners in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Miramar, and Coral Springs benefit from a longer foreclosure timeline -- often 18 months or more. HOAPnet provides free loan modification assistance, short sale coordination, and cash sale referrals for Broward County homeowners facing financial hardship.

Foreclosure Help in South Carolina -- Horry County and Richland County

South Carolina conducts both judicial and non-judicial foreclosures depending on mortgage terms. Homeowners in Horry County (Myrtle Beach, Conway) and Richland County (Columbia, Forest Acres) have options available through HOAPnet's HOAP program, including loan modifications, forbearance negotiation, and short sales.

Foreclosure Help in Georgia -- Muscogee County

Georgia is a non-judicial foreclosure state with one of the fastest foreclosure processes in the nation -- some foreclosures complete in as little as 37 days after the notice period. Homeowners in Muscogee County (Columbus) and surrounding communities must act immediately. HOAPnet provides urgent, free foreclosure prevention assistance for qualifying Muscogee County homeowners.

Foreclosure Help in Alabama -- Russell County

Alabama is a non-judicial foreclosure state with foreclosures potentially completing in 50 to 74 days after default. Russell County homeowners in Phenix City and Smiths Station have limited time once a default notice is issued. HOAPnet's HOAP program provides free foreclosure prevention assistance including loan modification applications, short sale coordination, and cash sale referrals for qualifying Russell County homeowners.

Loan Modification Help -- All Service Areas

A loan modification remains the most common solution for homeowners who want to keep their home. HOAPnet Counselors prepare and submit complete modification applications to all major servicers including Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Mr. Cooper (Nationstar), PHH Mortgage, Shellpoint, and others. Many homeowners previously denied modifications directly by their servicer have been approved through HOAP.
