Asheville real estate foreclosure proceedings can be lengthy and expensive for the lender. Proceedings start by the lender filing a public Notice of Default.

If the homeowner cannot pay off the outstanding amount owing during this grace period which is also called pre-foreclosure then the property will be foreclosed on, sold and the homeowner will be evicted. The lender would rather not go through this lengthy and costly process and therefore during this pre-foreclosure period the homeowner and lender can discuss other possible alternatives such as refinance, short sale, paying off the balance through equity in the property etc.., although none of these may be possible, it is still worth exhausting all possibilities for the lenders sake and the homeowners.

Once the homeowner realizes that they are in or going to be in a financial strain, this is the time they must talk to the lender and go over all possible options, but in many cases the homeowner waits and hopes for a miracle (when there just might have been another option?) and as you know those are hard to come by.
