Facing foreclosure in Colorado is one of the most stressful situations a homeowner can experience. But you have options — and time may be shorter than you think. HBR Colorado helps Colorado homeowners sell their house quickly for cash before the foreclosure process is complete, protecting your credit and putting money in your pocket instead of losing the home entirely.

How Colorado’s Foreclosure Process Works

Colorado is a “public trustee” foreclosure state. When you fall behind on mortgage payments, your lender can initiate a foreclosure through the county public trustee. Here’s a simplified timeline:

1. Missed payments — After 3–6 missed payments, your lender issues a Notice of Election and Demand (NED).
2. NED filed — The NED is filed with the county public trustee and recorded. This is public record.
3. 120-day cure period — You have a right to cure the default by paying all past-due amounts.
4. Rule 120 hearing — A court hearing to authorize the foreclosure sale.
5. Public trustee sale — The property is sold at public auction. You lose the home.

The window to sell is open right up until the public trustee sale. HBR Colorado can often close in 7–14 days — fast enough to stop the sale and protect your credit.

Why Selling Before Foreclosure Is Better Than Waiting

• Protect your credit — A completed foreclosure stays on your credit report for 7 years. A sale — even a short sale — has a far smaller impact.
• Walk away with equity — If your home is worth more than you owe, you keep the difference. In foreclosure, the bank keeps it.
• Avoid a deficiency judgment — In some cases, lenders can sue for the difference if the foreclosure auction doesn’t cover the loan balance.
• Maintain control — You negotiate the terms. In foreclosure, you have none.

How HBR Colorado Helps Stop Foreclosure

We buy houses throughout Colorado — including Colorado Springs, Denver, and Pueblo — in any condition, even with missed payments and a pending NED. Here’s how it works:

1. Contact us immediately — The sooner we know your situation, the more options you have.
2. We review your situation — We look at your loan balance, the home’s value, and the foreclosure timeline.
3. Cash offer within 24 hours — We move fast because we know time matters.
4. Close in as little as 7 days — We use a licensed Colorado title company and can coordinate a same-week closing if needed.
5. Foreclosure stopped — Once the sale closes, the mortgage is paid off and the foreclosure process ends.

What If I Owe More Than the House Is Worth?

If you’re underwater on your mortgage (owe more than the home’s current value), you may be eligible for a short sale — where the lender agrees to accept less than the full payoff amount. HBR Colorado has experience navigating short sales in Colorado and can work with your lender’s loss mitigation department on your behalf. This is a complex process, but we’ve done it before.
