Behind on Mortgage Payments in California? Notice of Default Timeline and Your Options

Missed a mortgage payment? Two or three payments behind? Received a Notice of Default? You may feel overwhelmed, but a late payment or even a recorded Notice of Default does not mean you have automatically lost your home. California homeowners often have several paths to explore, and acting early gives you more time to consider them.

If you own a home in Los Angeles or the San Gabriel Valley, understanding the foreclosure timeline and your options can help you make an informed decision.

Inheriting a home can bring both treasured memories and difficult decisions. If you have inherited a house in Los Angeles County or elsewhere in Southern California, you may be asking: Can I sell it right away? Do I need probate? Will I owe taxes? And should I make repairs before listing?

There is no single answer for every family. The right plan depends on how the home was owned, whether the estate has been settled, the property's condition, and your financial goals. Here are the key issues to understand before making a decision.

Real Estate Changes Coming Soon!

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) is in the process of settling a monumental lawsuit with the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding real estate buyer commissions.

There are so many questions regarding the changes and lawyers are still in the drawing room working out details with the DOJ. 

But this is what we know right now:

  • As part of the settlement, NAR agreed to prohibit offers to compensate the buyer's agent on multiple listing services (MLS)

Compensation is only prohibited from being listed on MLS – fees are not prohibited from being advertised on marketing materials or negotiated from closing costs.

  • Buyers will now be responsible for negotiating and signing a commission rate agreement to see a listing that is not an open house.

Buyer agents need to communicate the value they provide as a buyer’s agent upfront.

  • Seller will now have the “option” to opt out of paying the commission for the buyer’s agent.

Does not necessarily mean sellers will do that; Having a well-represented buyer is an advantage to seller to close the deal efficiently.  (The ultimate goal)

  • This change is scheduled to be in effect July 15th 2024.

 

Now, more than ever, home buyers and sellers need to be strategic and well represented. Need someone with vast experience and outstanding customer service to help you find, negotiate and save you money on your most major purchase? 

Here at the Cornejo Realty Group, you have experience on your side.  Call today to get your questions answered and find out the benefits you receive from working with us.
