You Still Have Options

Not Ready to Talk?

That's completely normal. Many homeowners receive letters, calls, and texts from several companies at once, and simply want reliable information before speaking with anyone.

Understanding the Common Options

These are informational summaries of paths homeowners often research. Availability depends entirely on your loan, your servicer, and your circumstances.

Loan Modification

A change to the terms of an existing mortgage, offered at the servicer's discretion.

Some servicers review hardship applications and may adjust the interest rate, term, or past-due balance. Eligibility, documentation, and timelines are set by the servicer and the loan investor.

A HUD-approved housing counselor can review your paperwork with you at no cost.

Repayment Plans

Spreading missed payments across future months instead of paying a lump sum.

Repayment plans add a portion of the past-due amount to regular monthly payments for a set period. They generally require enough ongoing income to cover the higher payment.

Ask your servicer's loss-mitigation department what plans your loan type allows.

Reinstatement

Bringing the loan fully current by paying the total past-due amount plus fees.

Reinstatement figures are quoted by the servicer and are only valid through a stated date. Homeowners sometimes fund reinstatement with savings, family help, or proceeds from another asset.

Request a written reinstatement quote before relying on any figure.

Short Sale

Selling the property for less than the loan balance, with lender approval.

A short sale requires the lender to accept the sale proceeds as settlement. Approval timelines vary, and there can be tax and credit implications depending on your circumstances.

Talk with a licensed attorney and a tax professional before pursuing a short sale.

Selling Before Auction

A traditional listing or a direct sale completed before a scheduled sale date.

When there is equity, selling before an auction can allow a homeowner to control the timeline and keep any remaining proceeds. Timelines are tight, so title and payoff details matter.

Confirm your payoff amount and any liens with your servicer and a title company.

Legal Resources (Educational Only)

Where homeowners can find qualified, low-cost, or free help.

HUD-approved housing counseling agencies, local legal aid organizations, and the Texas State Bar lawyer referral service are common starting points for homeowners seeking guidance.
