Frequently Asked Questions
Navigating pre-foreclosure is complex. We believe in radical transparency. Here are direct answers to the questions homeowners ask us most often.
The Process & Our Role
No. Crown Equity Group is a real estate investment and wholesale firm. We are not attorneys, lenders, or financial advisors. While we understand the foreclosure timeline deeply, we always recommend that our clients review any agreements with their own legal counsel. Our role is to provide equity clarity and a potential exit strategy (selling), not legal defense.
Absolutely not. Our "Equity & Options Review" is completely free and comes with zero obligation. We will run the numbers, explain your timeline, and present your options. You can take that information and walk away, or you can choose to work with us. We do not use high-pressure tactics.
It means you do not need to fix, paint, or clean anything. We buy the property exactly as it sits today. Whether there is water damage, structural issues, or just clutter, we handle it. You can leave behind anything you don't want to take with you.
Wholesale vs. Traditional Listing
Many homeowners assume they must hire a real estate agent to sell. In pre-foreclosure, time is often too short for that. Here is the difference:
- Traditional Agent: Takes 30-90 days. Requires showings/open houses. Costs 6% in commissions.
- Crown Equity Group: Can close in 7-14 days. No public showings. Zero commissions. We pay closing costs.
Timeline & Financials
Because we pay cash and do not rely on traditional bank financing approvals, we can move very quickly. We typically aim to close in 14 days or less. However, if your auction date is sooner, we can often expedite the process to beat the deadline.
No. In a traditional sale, you pay closing costs, title insurance, and agent commissions. When we buy your home directly, we pay the closing costs. The offer price we agree upon is the price (minus your mortgage payoff and any liens) that you receive.
We cannot legally "stop" an auction ourselves. However, if a purchase agreement is signed and opened with a title company, we can often present this to the lender to request a postponement. Lenders generally prefer to be paid off through a voluntary sale rather than complete a foreclosure, but this depends entirely on the specific lender and how much time remains.
