How long do I have after receiving a notice of default?

In Missouri, the timeline from notice of default to foreclosure auction can be as short as 60 days. Contact us immediately to understand your options.

Does a notice of default affect my credit?

A notice of default itself may not appear on your credit report, but if the foreclosure proceeds to completion, it will significantly damage your credit. Selling before the foreclosure is completed can help protect your credit.

Understanding Notice of Default

A notice of default is a formal written notice from your lender informing you that you are in default on your mortgage loan, typically due to missed payments. In Missouri, this notice is often the first step in the foreclosure process. Receiving a notice of default does not mean you have lost your home — but it does mean you need to act quickly. The clock is ticking, and your options narrow with each passing day.

Your Options

Homeowners who have received a notice of default have several options. You can contact your lender immediately to discuss loan modification, forbearance, or a repayment plan. You can explore a short sale, where the lender agrees to accept less than the full mortgage balance. You can file for bankruptcy to temporarily halt the foreclosure process. Or you can sell the property before the foreclosure is completed.

How Midwest Equity Advisors Can Help

Receiving a notice of default is a serious situation, but it's not the end of the road. We work with homeowners who have received notices of default to explore their options and, if selling is the right choice, to move quickly toward a closing. We can often close in 7 to 14 days, which may give you enough time to sell before the foreclosure process advances further.

Why Choose a Cash Sale?

For homeowners dealing with difficult situations, a cash sale often provides the fastest and most certain path forward. Unlike a traditional listing, a cash sale doesn't require repairs, doesn't involve agent commissions, and doesn't depend on a buyer securing financing. You get a straightforward offer and can close on your timeline — often in as little as seven days.
