FAQ

Alma facing foreclosure questions.

Can homeinvestor.co buy my Alma house before the foreclosure auction?
Yes — most of our Alma, West Virginia foreclosure closings happen in 12–14 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 Alma 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.
