How Foreclosure Works in Russell County
⚠ URGENT — Alabama is a non-judicial foreclosure state. Lenders can foreclose through a power-of-sale clause without filing a court lawsuit. Alabama law requires 21 days of published notice before a foreclosure sale, and foreclosures are advertised in a local newspaper for 3 consecutive weeks. The total timeline from first default notice to completed sale is typically 50–74 days. Alabama has a one-year right of redemption after the sale — but redeeming requires paying the full debt plus costs, which is often not practical. Contact HOAPnet immediately.
HOAPnet's free Homeowner Assistance Program (HOAP) serves homeowners throughout Russell County. Every HOAP Homeowner Counselor is a licensed real estate professional — and every service is provided at zero out-of-pocket cost to qualified homeowners.

Your Options — All Free Through HOAP
01
Loan Modification
We negotiate with your servicer to permanently lower your rate, extend your term, or defer missed payments — making your monthly payment affordable again.
02
Forbearance & Repayment Plan
Temporarily pause or reduce your payments while you recover from hardship, followed by a structured repayment plan so you can catch up without losing your home.
03
Short Sale
Owe more than the home is worth? Sell with lender approval and have the remaining balance forgiven — far less credit damage than a completed foreclosure.
04
Quick Cash As-Is Sale
Sell in 7–21 days to a vetted cash buyer with no repairs, no listing, and no commissions. Stop foreclosure fast and walk away with cash in hand.
05
Legal Referral
Access licensed foreclosure defense attorneys at no out-of-pocket cost through HOAP. Legal representation at settlement conferences buys critical time.
06
Deed-in-Lieu
Voluntarily transfer the property to the lender for a full release of the mortgage debt and avoid a public foreclosure auction on your record.
I didn't know Alabama foreclosures moved so fast. A friend told me to call HOAPnet. They responded the same day, explained my rights including the redemption period, and submitted a modification package that postponed the sale. All free.
