Tennessee is a non-judicial foreclosure state, with foreclosure generally following the deed of trust power-of-sale process. Our team helps homeowners in Lewis County understand the state process, explore loss mitigation, and review loan modification and negotiated settlement options.
Act Early
In Tennessee, a foreclosure generally moves through the non-judicial deed of trust process, and the timeline can progress faster than many homeowners expect. Reaching out early gives you the most room to explore the options available before a sale date approaches.
The earlier you reach out, the more time you have to review loss mitigation, a potential loan modification, reinstatement, or a negotiated settlement with your lender.
Lenders commonly request income verification and hardship details. Gathering and submitting these documents takes time, so starting early can keep the process moving smoothly.
Understanding where your loan is in the process and what notices have been issued helps you make informed decisions instead of reacting under pressure.
Don't wait for the sale date to find out your options.
A confidential conversation now can help you understand what steps may be available for your specific situation.
Call (213) 536-9372The Process
Tennessee generally follows a non-judicial foreclosure process under the power-of-sale clause in a deed of trust. Here is a high-level look at how the process typically unfolds.
When a homeowner falls behind on payments, the loan may go into default. This is often the point where options like loss mitigation are worth exploring early.
The trustee is generally responsible for providing required notices and publication relating to the foreclosure sale. Tennessee law commonly requires a notice to be published three separate times in a newspaper.
Property owners generally have the right to enjoin the foreclosure by paying the amount due prior to the sale. Understanding this option before the sale date can be important.
The property is typically sold at auction to the highest bidder, with the proceeds applied toward the outstanding loan balance and related costs.
Tennessee law provides for a redemption period after the sale during which certain parties may redeem the property by paying the required amount, subject to the governing rules.
After the process is completed, ownership generally transfers to the purchaser. If the sale proceeds do not cover the full balance, a deficiency may remain.
Every situation is unique.
The exact timing and details depend on your individual loan documents and circumstances. A confidential review can help clarify where things stand.
