In Texas, foreclosure moves fast. Faster than most families realize.

From the first missed payment to auction — it can happen in as little as 60 to 90 days. And that clock doesn't pause for probate court.

**Here's how the Texas timeline works:**
- **Day 1** — Missed payments begin, lender notices start immediately
- **Day 120** — Lender issues formal Notice of Default
- **Day 141+** — 21-day Notice of Sale posted at courthouse
- **First Tuesday of the month** — Foreclosure auction. Options disappear.

**If you inherited a home with a missed mortgage — this is urgent.**

Nobody planned for it. But the lender doesn't care. The estate is responsible and the clock is already running.

**The fastest way to stop it? A clean sale before the auction date.**

That's what we do. We assess the situation, price the home to move fast, communicate with the lender directly, and get to closing before the auction date.

21 years. 1,700+ sales. 250+ probate closings. We know how to compress a timeline without losing money for the estate.

**Do these three things right now:**
- Open every piece of mail from the lender — don't ignore anything
- Find out if a Notice of Default or Sale date has been issued
- Call someone who has handled pre-foreclosure sales in DFW before

The options you have today won't exist the morning after that auction.

Listed at $315,000 | Pool + Solar | Below Market

This home in Turf Club Estates is priced well below recent neighborhood sales — comps in the area have closed between $380,000 and $404,000. The price reflects current condition and accounts for the solar panel payoff at closing. Here's what you need to know before you decide.

The Solar Panels

The home has a solar system the seller reports originally cost $93,000, with roughly $83,000 remaining on the financing. The seller plans to pay off that balance at closing through escrow. Buyers should independently verify the system's performance, loan transfer ability, and all financing terms. The seller reports meaningfully lower electric bills — especially important with a pool — but those savings are estimates, not guarantees.

The Home
Nearly 2,000 sq ft | 3 bed | 2.5 bath | 2-car garage | Two-story layout
The foundation was professionally repaired in 2016 and carries a lifetime transferable warranty — that work is already done and documented. The home is being sold as-is. Minor cosmetic items like trim gaps or sticking doors may be present, consistent with the home's age. This is not a perfect home. It's priced like it.

Who This Is For
A buyer who knows the market, understands condition-based pricing, and sees the upside in a well-located Southwest Arlington home with a pool, solar, and a below-comps list price.

Note to Agents & Buyers: No wholesalers. No seller financing at this time.

The Call Nobody Wants to Make

Teresa didn't know where to start.

Her mother had passed two months earlier, leaving behind a three-bedroom home in Marine Creek Hills — a clean, well-kept subdivision in northwest Fort Worth. No mortgage. No liens. Just a house full of memories, a lawn that needed mowing, and a utility bill that kept hitting the mailbox like clockwork.

She'd heard the horror stories. Probate dragging on for a year. Investors offering lowball cash. Siblings disagreeing. Attorneys charging by the hour.

What she hadn't heard — yet — was that there was a faster path.
