Do I have equity if I am in foreclosure?

Possibly yes. Many homeowners in foreclosure still have equity. A pre-foreclosure sale may allow you to recover that equity rather than losing it at auction.

Common Foreclosure Situations We Help Canadians Navigate

Whether you're weeks behind on mortgage payments or already facing active foreclosure proceedings, there are more options available than you may realize.

House in foreclosure in Canada - homeowner facing mortgage default and power of sale

Active Foreclosure Notice

Received a Statement of Claim or foreclosure order from your lender or the courts? The clock is ticking. Understanding your legal options immediately can be the difference between keeping or losing your home to foreclosure.

Power of Sale in Ontario & BC

Power of sale proceedings move faster than traditional foreclosure. Ontario and BC lenders can act quickly — we help you negotiate with your lender and explore alternatives before the power of sale date is set.

Missed Mortgage Payments

Even 1-2 missed mortgage payments can trigger lender action and start the path toward foreclosure. Acting early gives you the most options: payment deferrals, loan restructuring, refinancing, or a controlled home sale.

Behind on Property Taxes

Municipalities across Canada can initiate their own tax sale proceedings for unpaid property taxes. This is separate from your mortgage lender's foreclosure action and requires its own resolution strategy.

Need to Sell Your House Fast

Sometimes the best outcome is a fast, dignified sale of your home before foreclosure damages your credit for years. We help homeowners sell on their timeline, not the bank's — avoiding foreclosure entirely.

Too Much Debt, Can't Refinance

Traditional banks said no? Private mortgage lenders and alternative financing options exist specifically for homeowners with equity who have been declined. Stop foreclosure by refinancing with non-bank lenders.

How We Help You Stop Foreclosure

Two Fast Ways to Stop Foreclosure and Avoid a Forced Sale

No matter how your foreclosure situation started — missed mortgage payments, a foreclosure notice, or power of sale proceedings already underway — it usually comes down to two of the fastest, most reliable ways out. We help homeowners across Canada line up either one.

Sell Your House Before Foreclosure — On Your Terms

A controlled, private pre-foreclosure sale protects your credit and puts your home equity back in your pocket — on your timeline, not the bank's. Selling your house before foreclosure lets you avoid a forced court sale and move on with dignity. We help you line up a fast, private sale before the deadline closes it off.

Sell Before Foreclosure →

Refinance Against Your Equity With a Private Lender

When your bank says no, private and alternative mortgage lenders can pay off your arrears and stop foreclosure — often in days, based on your home equity, not your credit score. Private lender refinancing clears your mortgage arrears so foreclosure proceedings stop and you keep your home. We help you line up the financing to catch up.

Foreclosure Questions Answered

Foreclosure in Canada: What Every Homeowner Needs to Know

Knowledge is your first line of defence against foreclosure. Here are the questions we hear most from Canadian homeowners in distress.

How long does the foreclosure process take in Canada?

It varies significantly by province. In Alberta, foreclosure (called Judicial Sale) can take 6-12 months or longer. In Ontario and BC, Power of Sale is faster — often 35-45 days once notice is served. Acting early to avoid foreclosure is critical.

What is the difference between foreclosure and power of sale?

Foreclosure (common in Alberta) means the lender applies to court to take ownership of your home. Power of Sale (common in Ontario/BC) gives the lender the right to sell without taking ownership — both result in losing your home if unaddressed.

Can I stop a foreclosure after it's started?

Yes — in many cases, yes. Options to stop foreclosure include bringing your mortgage current, refinancing through a private lender, negotiating a loan modification, or even a pre-foreclosure sale. The earlier you act, the more options you have.

Will bankruptcy stop my foreclosure in Canada?

No. This is a common misconception. In Canada, bankruptcy does not stop a mortgage foreclosure or power of sale. The mortgage is secured against the property and is treated separately from unsecured debt.

How does foreclosure affect my credit score?

A completed foreclosure can severely damage your credit for 6-7 years. It can affect your ability to rent, finance a vehicle, or qualify for any future mortgage. Avoiding foreclosure — even through a voluntary sale — protects your financial future.

Do I have equity if I'm in foreclosure?

Possibly, yes. Many homeowners in foreclosure still have equity in their property. A pre-foreclosure sale may allow you to recover that equity rather than losing it when the bank forces a foreclosure sale at auction.
