If you’re falling behind on your mortgage in South Carolina, you may feel overwhelmed, stressed, or even ashamed. First, take a deep breath—you’re not alone, and there is help available. At Fidelis Real Estate, we’ve walked alongside homeowners just like you, helping them stop foreclosure and start fresh.
Foreclosure doesn’t have to be the end of your story. Here are 5 proven strategies that can help you stop foreclosure in South Carolina and protect your future:
1. Communicate With Your Lender Immediately
Many people avoid their mortgage lender when they fall behind. But silence only speeds up the foreclosure process. Instead, call your lender right away and ask about your options. They may offer:
- Forbearance (temporary pause on payments)
- Loan modification (changing the loan terms)
- Repayment plans to catch up gradually
Lenders often prefer to work with you than go through foreclosure, which costs them time and money.
2. Apply for South Carolina’s Foreclosure Prevention Programs
South Carolina offers several resources to help homeowners avoid foreclosure. You can contact:
- SC Housing Finance & Development Authority (SC Housing)
- South Carolina Legal Services for legal aid
- HUD-approved housing counselors, who provide free advice and support
These professionals can walk you through your rights and help you apply for government-backed relief options.
3. Sell Your Home Before Foreclosure Hits
If keeping your home isn’t an option, selling it before it goes to auction can be the smartest financial decision. By selling your home:
- You avoid foreclosure on your credit report
- You may be able to walk away with cash in hand
- You stay in control of the process
At Fidelis Real Estate, we buy houses in any condition—as-is, fast, and with compassion. We can close in as little as 7–14 days and give you a fair, cash offer with no fees or commissions.
4. Consider a Short Sale
In a short sale, your lender agrees to let you sell your home for less than what you owe. It can be a good option if your mortgage is underwater (you owe more than the home is worth).
You’ll need to prove financial hardship and get your lender’s approval—but with the right help, a short sale can be a powerful alternative to foreclosure.
