Short Sales & Foreclosure in San Francisco
If mortgage payments are becoming difficult, contact your mortgage servicer. If you have received a foreclosure notice, ask a California foreclosure attorney to review the notice and its deadlines promptly. Do not wait for a valuation before seeking that help.

Match the help to the notice you received
A mortgage payment problem, an association assessment and a legal notice should not be treated as interchangeable. Keep the documents together and identify who issued each one. Ask your attorney or the appropriate provider to explain the obligation and any deadline.

Review a possible sale using current information
I can help estimate the property's market value and discuss a sale. For a condo or TIC, tell me about assessment notices, known building work and the ownership documents available for review.
We need to consider potential proceeds alongside confirmed payoffs and selling expenses. Neither an online estimate nor the mortgage balance alone settles whether a short sale is needed. Legal deadlines and lender decisions require their own review.
Contact Kate about your San Francisco property, and mention any notice with a deadline.
