🚨 Foreclosure activity is continuing to rise—and these numbers represent real families who may be running out of time.

According to ATTOM’s August 2026 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report:

🏠 40,277 properties had a foreclosure filing
📈 Filings increased 13% from last year
⚠️ Foreclosure starts increased 7%
🔑 Completed foreclosures—properties taken back by the bank—increased 42%.

The biggest mistake homeowners make is waiting until the auction is around the corner to ask for help. A foreclosure filing does not necessarily mean you’ve lost your home—but the earlier you understand your equity, mortgage payoff, legal timeline, and available options, the more choices you may have.

Depending on the situation, those options could include:
• A loan modification or repayment plan
• Refinancing or a short-pay strategy
• Selling before the auction
• A short sale
• Resolving estate, title, lien, or occupancy complications
• Creating a dignified relocation plan

At Homeowners Resource Group, we help homeowners understand what they’re facing and coordinate the moving parts so they can make an informed decision about what comes next.

📲 If you—or someone you know—is dealing with foreclosure, an inherited property, unpaid mortgage debt, liens, or a scheduled auction, reach out before the options become more limited.

When heirs inherit a house with a reverse mortgage, their options are to
1. Pay it off
2. Do a short/ heir payoff
3. Short sale it if there’s no equity

Most people who want to keep the house think they can refinance it- reverses cannot be refinanced- only sold or paid off in full.

Heirs to homes with reverse mortgages can face a 30-day clock—and may need new financing to keep the family home.

It’s way too easy to be impersonated and scammed- if you have a vacant property and it’s just sitting- the worst thing you can do is ignore it.

A growing real estate scam known as seller impersonation fraud is surging, with criminals attempting to sell homes and land they do not own. Scammers often target vacant land or properties without a mortgage, using stolen identities and deepfake technology to impersonate the owner. The problem has become so frequent that nearly 1 in 4 title firms reported three or more attempts in the month before the latest survey, up from just 4% two years earlier. In some cases, the real owner does not learn what happened until after the fraudulent sale is complete.

65 SOUTHGATE CIRCLE MASSAPEQUA- is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit inside the SOUTHGATE AT BAR HARBOUR HOA development - south of merrick road in Massapequa.

The fire tore this unit apart. It sat like that for 11 years.
We had to get everything redone and needed approvals from the HOA as well as the local municipality. We've been following every single demand, request and guideline given to us. It has been a journey but we are nearing the finish line.

The best part of my job? The reviews I receive after. ❤️

This one came from a finder - A divorced couple who hadn’t spoken in years. Their house was vacant, uninhabitable, and headed to foreclosure auction.

3 months later: auction stopped, short sale completed, everything paid off — and they both walked away with money.

Complicated doesn’t mean impossible. This is why I do what I do.

This right here is what keeps me going.

The files are complicated. The days are long. The problems are heavy. Reverse mortgages, judgments, no wills, foreclosure, family tension — it can feel impossible when people are in the middle of it.

But when we can step in, take the weight off a family’s shoulders, and help them get to the other side… it makes every single ounce of hard work worth it.

So grateful for the families who trust HRG during some of the hardest moments of their lives. 🤍

CASE STUDY: HEMPSTEAD, NY

This was the type of deal most people would’ve passed on immediately.

The property involved:
• squatters / occupancy issues
• an estate situation
• foreclosure pressure
• a short sale approval process
• major property distress
• and a full renovation needed afterward

Most people see all of that and think:
“Too complicated.”
“Too risky.”
“Too much work.”

But this is exactly the type of deal I specialize in.

Before anything else, the estate situation had to be navigated properly.
Then the occupancy issues had to be addressed.
At the same time, lender negotiations were happening to secure the short sale approval before timelines expired.

And after the acquisition?

The property went through a full transformation and renovation before being resold.

Total timeline from navigating the distressed situation to completed resale:
UNDER ONE YEAR.

This is what people don’t see behind the scenes of complex distressed real estate.

These deals require:
• strategy
• title and probate coordination
• lender negotiations
• occupancy resolution
• project management
• timing
• and knowing how to move every piece together simultaneously

For over 12 years, this has been my lane — taking the situations most people think are impossible and creating a path to resolution and opportunity.

Every property has a story.
Some just require more work to rewrite than others.

If you’re dealing with foreclosure, probate, squatters, or a distressed property situation — DM HELP.
If you have a difficult property lead or want to partner on deals — DM FINDER.

Most real estate investors don’t fail because they can’t find deals- they fail because they don’t know how to finish them.

They chase what’s easy, or what a wholesale or agent hands them:

Clean titles. Vacant houses. Quick contracts. Because the second things get complicated—foreclosure, probate, liens, family disputes—they tap out.

That’s exactly where I lean in.

Because complicated deals aren’t proble- they’re filters.
They eliminate the noise and leave opportunities for the people who actually know how to navigate it.

Attorneys, title, courts, negotiations, squatters, probate and bank timelines—this is where deals are either lost, or created.
I don’t avoid the hard ones. I build systems around them. That’s why most people see dead deals, and I see closings.

If you’re sitting on something messy and don’t know how to move it forward— DM HELP.

If you’re finding deals but getting
stuck halfway—DM FINDER.

Because the real money isn’t in finding deals, it’s in knowing how to close them.

CASE STUDY: PATCHOGUE, NY

This deal took almost 3 YEARS to close.

Most people would’ve walked away long before the finish line.

What started as a distressed property situation turned into a full multi-layered estate and foreclosure case involving:
• probate administration
• foreclosure complications
• over $300,000 in liens that had to be negotiated and released
• and THREE separate short sale approvals that expired during the process

The property was part of an estate, so before anything could even move forward properly, probate administration had to be handled first.

And this is what most people don’t understand about complex distressed deals:

The property problem is usually only ONE part of the situation.

Behind the scenes there were:
• court and probate issues
• title complications
• lender negotiations
• lien holder approvals
• expiring timelines
• document updates
• and constant coordination between all parties just to keep the deal alive

Every time we got close to the finish line, another issue surfaced.

But this is exactly why strategy, persistence, and experience matter.

A short sale approval alone does NOT guarantee a closing.
A signed contract does NOT mean the deal is actually workable.

The real work is navigating all the moving pieces at the same time until the transaction can finally close properly.

Most people only see the closing picture.
They don’t see the years of problem-solving it took to get there.

After 12+ years in distressed real estate, these are the types of deals I specialize in — the complicated ones most people think are impossible.

If you’re dealing with foreclosure, probate, title issues, liens, or a difficult property situation — DM HELP.
If you have a distressed property lead or complicated deal to partner on — DM FINDER.
