If you have concerns about losing your house to foreclosure, we're ready to help.
Over the past few years, we've helped prevent foreclosures by helping Minnesota homeowners with short sales and by helping them understand and access home loan modifications and government assistance programs.
The primary difference between a short sale and foreclosure lies in the effects on your long-term consumer credit.
Short Sales: Negotiated settlement, seller’s credit is bruised – not ruined, no attorney fees, peace of mind, you can buy as soon as in two years, all liens are negotiated.
Foreclosure: Court settlement, seller’s credit damaged long term, usually large attorney fees, very little peace of mind, buy again as long as in 10 years, all liens are exhausted.

Foreclosure in Minnesota
For homeowners who are struggling with their mortgage, or have fallen behind, the threat of foreclosure can be devastating.
It is sad to say that, but foreclosure process in Minnesota is actually designed to protect homeowners and give them a fair and reasonable opportunity to keep their home.
Foreclosures can occur anywhere in Minnesota, due to many number of causes. Under Minnesota foreclosure laws, Minnesota foreclosure deficiency judgment is allowed.
When you think you won’t be able to afford the mortgage payments on the house, the best option may be trying to sell the home before mortgage in default.
Selling the house less than the mortgage amount you owe and negotiating with your lender to accept less than what you owe as payment in full.
Debt Forgiveness Act
President Bush signed the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act on December 20, 2007. The purpose of the bill is to help homeowners who are caught in the housing crisis.
If you are a homeowner whose mortgage debt is partly or entirely forgiven through Minnesota foreclosure or short sale in Minnesota during tax years 2007 through 2012, you may be able to claim special tax relief and exclude the debt forgiven from your income.
