FAQ
Myrtle Beach facing foreclosure questions.
- Can homeinvestor.co buy my Myrtle Beach house before the foreclosure auction?
- Yes — most of our Myrtle Beach, South Carolina foreclosure closings happen in 9–14 days when there's a clear title. Submit your address, we send a cash offer within 24–48 hours, and your matched buyer wires funds straight to the lender to stop the auction.
- Will selling stop foreclosure from showing on my credit?
- Selling before the auction prevents the foreclosure from being finalized, which protects you from the worst credit hit. A pre-foreclosure or short sale typically drops your score 50–150 points, while a completed foreclosure commonly drops FICO scores by ~100–160 points (FICO data) and stays on your credit for 7 years.
- What if my mortgage is more than the house is worth?
- We can sometimes negotiate a short sale with your lender, where they accept less than what's owed. It's slower than a straight cash sale but still beats a foreclosure on your record.
- Do I owe any fees to homeinvestor.co for a Myrtle Beach foreclosure sale?
- Zero. We never charge sellers — not for the offer, not for closing, not for the title work. The buyer pays standard closing costs and our network does not collect commission from you.
- Will my lender stop the auction once we have a signed contract?
- Most lenders postpone the sale 30–60 days when they see a bona-fide cash contract with a written close date. We work directly with your loss-mitigation department to get the postponement in writing.
