Falling behind on mortgage payments is one of the most stressful situations a homeowner can face. Unfortunately, it happens to good, hardworking people every single day. Life can throw unexpected challenges our way — a sudden job loss, overwhelming medical bills, lingering student loans, or simply the accumulation of everyday expenses.
You worked hard to save for your down payment. You made your mortgage payments on time. Then, one unexpected setback — and suddenly the bank is threatening to take your home.
If this sounds familiar, take a deep breath. You still have options. We’ve spent over 20 years helping homeowners in both North Carolina and South Carolina navigate financial hardship, avoid foreclosure, and protect the roof over their heads. The most important thing you can do right now is understand your options and act quickly.
Why Acting Fast Matters
When it comes to late mortgage payments, time is your most valuable resource. The further behind you get, the fewer options you have. Both North and South Carolina have specific foreclosure timelines, legal notices, and deadlines that must be met. Missing one of these key dates can make it harder — sometimes impossible — to save your home.
That’s why reaching out for help early is critical. The bank may seem like they’re moving quickly, but the truth is, most lenders would rather work out a solution than take your home back.
Options Your Lender May Offer
Depending on your situation, your lender may be willing to help you get caught up. Common options include:
- Forbearance Agreements – Temporarily pausing or reducing your payments to give you time to recover financially.
- Loan Modification – Changing your loan’s terms to make payments more manageable.
- Repayment Plans – Spreading out missed payments over several months instead of requiring a lump sum.
- Payment Deferral – Adding missed payments to the end of your loan instead of demanding them now.
The key is to communicate with your lender before the problem snowballs.
When You Can’t Reach an Agreement
Sometimes, despite your best efforts, you and your lender can’t come to terms. That’s where we step in. Our team has developed a variety of practical, real-world solutions, including:
- Helping You Sell the Home – If selling is the best path forward, we can help you get the property ready, marketed, and sold quickly.
- Providing Capital for Repairs – We can supply funds to fix up the property, increasing its value and marketability.
- Move-Out Assistance – If selling or keeping the home isn’t possible, we can help you relocate with dignity and financial breathing room.
- Taking Over Payments – In some situations, we can take over the mortgage payments directly.
- Partnership Approach – One of our most popular solutions: we bring your loan current, give you additional cash to get back on your feet, make ongoing principal payments, and let you stay in your home. We’ve successfully used this structure many times in both North and South Carolina.
What We Don’t Care About
Unlike traditional lenders, we don’t require:
- Credit checks
- Proof of past payment history
- Tax returns
- Bank account balances
We focus on your situation today and how we can move forward — not the challenges in your past.
