The mortgage foreclosure process happens when a homeowner fails to pay his or her mortgage payments and the bank forecloses on the home. A mortgage foreclosure process is not the same as a tax foreclosure process which happens once a year. Mortgage foreclosure is a bigger problem for homeowners who cannot afford to pay their mortgages.

The mortgage foreclosure process is long and involved. Different states have different foreclosure rules and slightly different mortgage foreclosure process. Lenders seeking to foreclose have to comply with state’s mortgage foreclosure process which can be costly and time consuming.

The mortgage foreclosure starts when a homeowner misses payments multiple times. The lender usually wait until three payments have been missed before they start thinking of foreclosure. A homeowner can call the lender to agreement a payment plan to avoid foreclosure and avoid being in default.

If the mortgage account is in default, then the lender will send the homeowner a notice of default. This is not a foreclosure notice but if you receive a notice of default, the next one might be a foreclosure notice. Most homeowners are scared but the lenders are often more than willing to negotiate at this point.

After about three to four months, if an agreement cannot be reached between the homeowner and the lender, then the lender will send he notice of foreclosure to the homeowner. The notice of foreclosure and the notice of trustee’s sale will both be filed and served to you either by mail or by the Sheriff depending on the state you are in. By this point, public notices would have been posted for everyone to see.
