We Sell Houses La - Short Sale & Foreclosure

08/15/2026

Someone sued you, won, and now there's a lien on your house. Can you still sell? Yes.

A judgment lien doesn't block a sale. It gets paid, negotiated down, or released at closing — straight out of escrow through the title company.

If the house is worth more than your mortgage and the lien, it simply gets paid from the proceeds and you keep the rest. If you owe more than it's worth, that's a short sale — and lienholders negotiate far more than people expect. Whether the debt is in collections or already charged off changes the number a lot.

Call or text (424) 239-5209 — we'll pull the title and tell you where you actually stand.

A Notice of Default is a clock starting. It is not an eviction.

Once it's recorded, your lender generally has to wait at least three months before it can record a Notice of Trustee Sale — the document that actually sets your auction date.

That window is where your options live: catch the loan up, sell, or start a short sale if you owe more than the place is worth. Liens and judgments don't stop any of that.

The worst move is ignoring the mail. The earlier you act, the more choices you have.

He called us the night before his foreclosure auction.

We stopped that auction — five or six times before it was over — got the short sale package through, and closed it out. Twelve months, a rat infestation, and repeated break-ins later, it was done. No guarantees, every file is different — but the earlier you call, the more we can do.

"What does a short sale agent actually do — and what does it cost me?"

Cost first: nothing out of pocket. In a short sale the bank accepts less than you owe and pays the costs of the sale, including my commission. You pay only if it closes.

What I actually do: negotiate the lender, clear the liens, and run the paperwork so the sale closes instead of falling apart.

There were a lot of short sales in 2009-2013. Most agents stopped doing them. We never did — it's most of what we handle.

Real answer: most short sales take 6 to 12 months.

The servicer takes 30-60 days per review cycle, they always come back with questions, and if the first appraisal comes in too high you're looking at 9-12 months. The single biggest thing you control is starting early.

Most homeowners facing foreclosure have never heard of AB 2424.

If your home is properly listed for sale before the auction, that trustee sale can be postponed up to 45 days.

45 days is often the difference between losing the house at auction and selling it on the open market — keeping your equity instead of handing it over.

Two catches. It has to be submitted correctly and on time (certified mail or overnight courier with tracking — an email doesn't trigger it). And whoever handles it needs to have actually done it before; it gets rejected constantly.

One more thing: please don't dump it off-market to a cash buyer in a panic. In LA that can cost you six figures.

The #1 reason short sales get denied: the appraisal.

If it comes in too high, the deal can die right there. Someone has to make sure the appraiser has the correct information on repairs before they do their job — that's part of what we handle.

A foreclosure auction feels like the end of the road. It usually isn't.

I'm Nick Hedberg, a licensed real estate agent with Beverly & Company, and I've closed more than $60 million in California real estate since 2016. We Sell Houses LA is where I focus that experience on the homeowners who need it most: people who are behind on their mortgage, underwater, or staring down a trustee sale date.

If you owe more than your home is worth, a short sale is often the cleanest way out — and in an approved California short sale, you pay nothing out of pocket; the lender pays the commission. When a lender's number is too high to approve a sale, I escalate the file to the loan's investor to get the value resolved. I've stopped auctions on the day they were scheduled.

If you have equity, I'll list and sell your home the standard way and get you the most for it — fast, and on your timeline.

There's no cost to find out where you stand. Call or text (424) 239-5209.
