list on the marketListing with a real estate agent could work if you have time. But if foreclosure is just weeks away, a traditional sale may not happen fast enough.
How Foreclosure Works in Texas
Non-Judicial Foreclosure Process: Texas uses a non-judicial foreclosure process, which means the lender doesn’t need to go through the court system. Because of this, the process moves faster here than in many other states.
Notice of Default: If payments are missed, the lender typically sends a Notice of Default and Intent to Accelerate, giving you a short window to catch up.
Notice of Sale: If the loan isn’t brought current, the lender can then issue a Notice of Sale, which sets a public auction date for the property.

FAQs
Selling Your House Quickly During foreclosure
-
In most cases, lenders must wait at least 120 days after your first missed mortgage payment before officially beginning the foreclosure process. This grace period gives you valuable time to explore selling your home and potentially avoid a forced sale.
-
Yes, as long as the foreclosure auction hasn’t occurred, you still legally own the home and can sell it. Whether you go with a traditional sale, a short sale, or sell directly to a cash buyer, you can take action to avoid foreclosure.
-
The quickest route is typically working with a real estate investor. They often buy homes in as-is condition and can close quickly—sometimes in as little as 3 to 7 days. Many provide cash offers within a day of viewing the property.
-
Selling your home before it’s foreclosed on generally has less of an impact on your credit score. A completed foreclosure can drop your score significantly, but selling early—especially if you continue making payments—can help reduce long-term credit damage.
-
Consider working with professionals experienced in foreclosure situations. This includes a real estate agent familiar with distressed sales, a foreclosure attorney, and a HUD-approved housing counselor. Together, they can help you understand your rights, speed up the sale, and make informed decisions.
