When You’re Facing Foreclosure, Everything Feels Like a Gamble
If you're behind on your mortgage, it’s easy to feel frozen by fear:
“Is it already too late to fix this?”
“Will selling just leave me broke and ashamed?”
“What if I mess this up and lose everything?”
These fears are real — and normal.
👉 But here’s the truth: You still have more control than it feels like.
The longer you wait, the fewer options you’ll have.
Selling before foreclosure might not be right for everyone — but for some, it’s a way to walk away on their own terms.
