If you’re facing a financial crisis with your home, we’re here to help you move forward.

What Is Pre-Foreclosure?



Pre-foreclosure is an important stage in the foreclosure process that happens when a homeowner falls behind on mortgage payments, putting their property at risk of being repossessed.


This phase starts after a few missed payments and gives the homeowner a final chance to take action before the lender takes ownership of the property. During this time, the homeowner still legally owns the property but may feel the pressure to address the missed payments.


The good news? There are options to avoid foreclosure! Homeowners can work with their lender to set up a payment plan, sell the property, or, in some cases, consider filing for bankruptcy. Acting quickly and making informed decisions during pre-foreclosure can make all the difference in protecting your financial future.

Stop Foreclosure in Lancaster — Time Is Critical


When you fall behind on payments, banks may start the foreclosure process quickly. In Lancaster and greater Los Angeles County, the average foreclosure timeline can be as short as 120 days from the first missed payment. That means you have limited time to act before the bank repossesses your home.


Foreclosure not only causes stress—it also:


  • Damages your credit for 7 years or more
  • Makes it harder to qualify for future loans
  • Can result in eviction and loss of equity

At Platinum Bought Homes, we can step in and make a cash offer that stops foreclosure and helps you walk away with money in your pocket—not a judgment on your credit report.

Dealing with Liens or Judgments on Your Home?


It’s more common than you might think. Tax liens, mechanic’s liens, or court judgments can create major obstacles when it comes to selling your property. These issues can tie up your title, making it difficult to sell through traditional methods. Even if you manage to find a buyer, title companies often won’t allow the sale to close until these debts are cleared.


We specialize in helping homeowners resolve:

  • IRS or state tax liens that can feel overwhelming
  • HOA and utility liens that have piled up over time
  • Judgments from contractors or legal settlements causing roadblocks
  • Delinquent property taxes that are holding you back
  • Code enforcement violations affecting your ability to move forward.
  • 

Our experienced team partners with trusted title companies and legal experts to tackle these issues head-on. We move fast to resolve them—often rolling the costs into the sale so you don’t have to pay anything out of pocket. Let us take the stress off your shoulders and help you sell your property without the usual headaches!

Behind on Mortgage Payments? You Still Have Options!


If you're behind on payments but haven’t entered foreclosure yet, you may have more flexibility than you think. Banks don’t want to foreclose—they want a solution. Selling your home for cash can satisfy the debt, prevent damage to your credit, and help you avoid legal headaches.


Here’s how we can help you:


  • Provide a fast, fair cash offer based on your home’s current market value
  • Take care of communicating with your lender on your behalf (if needed)
  • Cover all closing costs and unpaid back taxes
  • Close the deal before your foreclosure auction date, giving you peace of mind

Let us help you navigate this process and find a solution that works for you!

Why Is Selling a Pre-Foreclosure Home the Traditional Way So Challenging?


Selling a pre-foreclosure home through traditional methods can be difficult due to stringent time constraints and financial complexities. Homeowners often face tight deadlines as lenders move forward with foreclosure proceedings, leaving little time to navigate the lengthy process of listing the property on the market.


Traditional buyers may also be reluctant to purchase properties associated with financial issues such as unpaid mortgages or liens. Additionally, the property may require repairs or updates that the homeowner cannot afford. While real estate agents can provide valuable assistance, their fees and commissions can further strain an already challenging financial situation.


These factors combined make the traditional selling process slow, stressful, and often impractical for homeowners seeking to avoid foreclosure. As a result, alternative solutions, such as working with cash buyers, often provide a more effective and efficient option.


With Platinum Bought Homes, you can avoid these challenges entirely. There are no fees, no inspections, no delays, and no financing risks—just a straightforward cash offer and peace of mind.

How Much Can a Foreclosure Home Cost Me If I Don't Sell Quickly?


The cost of foreclosure can vary widely, depending on factors like the remaining mortgage balance, accrued interest, legal fees, and back taxes. When a home goes into foreclosure, homeowners often face additional burdens, including penalties and fees from lenders.


These expenses can quickly add up, often reaching tens of thousands of dollars. Beyond the financial impact, foreclosure can severely damage your credit score, making it harder to secure future loans or housing.


At Platinum Bought Homes, we’re here to help. We provide fair, fast solutions to protect your financial future and reduce the long-term consequences of foreclosure. Let us help you take control today.

This is especially helpful during a job loss, trustee sale, or other financial challenges.

  • Can I sell my house if I’m behind on mortgage payments?

  • Can I sell my California home with water damage or other issues?

    Yes, you can still sell a California home with water damage or other problems. Cash home buyers specialize in purchasing properties in any condition, eliminating the need for costly repairs. They also bypass the need for a real estate broker, making the legal process faster and easier for home sellers.

  • Do liens make my home unsellable?

    Not at all. We regularly purchase homes with tax, utility, or HOA liens. We work with the title company to ensure everything is paid at closing, so you walk away with peace of mind—not debt.

  • Do Lancaster property owners have to pay realtor fees or transaction fees?

    No, when you choose to sell to cash home buyers, there are zero fees involved, including realtor fees or transaction fees. You'll get an all cash offer and avoid the typical costs associated with a traditional sale, such as closing fees or expensive repairs. This ensures the highest net proceeds for property owners.

  • How fast can we close before an auction date?

    We’ve closed in 7 days or less for urgent foreclosure situations. The sooner you contact us, the more we can help. Even if the auction is scheduled, we may be able to pause the process long enough to finalize the sale.
