Foreclosure is a process that allows a lender to recoup the amount owed on a defaulted loan by selling or taking ownership of the property that secured the loan. It begins when a owner defaults on loan payments and the lender files a public default notice. The foreclosure process could end in a few different ways. A third party buys the property at a public auction at the end of the pre-foreclosure period. The owner pays off the default amount to reinstate the loan during a grace period known as pre-foreclosure. The lender takes ownership of the property, most likely with the intent to re-sell the property. The lender may take ownership through an agreement with the owner during pre-foreclosure or by buying the property at public auction. The owner sells the property to a third party during pre-foreclosure, allowing the owner to pay off the loan thereby avoiding having a foreclosure on his or her credit report.
