What’s different in Mount Laurel

The mediation program has rules

New Jersey Courts lists its Foreclosure Mediation Program as active. Eligibility follows Rule 4:64-1B for residential foreclosure cases. To ask for mediation you submit an application, the mediation checklist and a financial worksheet. The page notes that the initial 30-day notice period is a chance to request mediation. If your mortgage is on a townhome, bring the association dues into the worksheet as well. Ask for the application before the notice period runs out, since the page ties the request to that window.

Where Burlington County sheriff's sales are posted

The Burlington County Sheriff's Office is at 49 Rancocas Road, Mount Holly, open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Its foreclosure sales listing is online, and the page limits cash payments at the sale or on completion to $2,000, with checks payable to the Sheriff of Burlington County. The foreclosure unit's phone is 609-265-5127. Your own attorney is the best source for the date that applies to you. Ask the Sheriff's Office how a sale date is posted and where changes are announced.

Dues and drainage can change the payoff math

County hazard planning flags older subdivision homes and low-lying lots in Mount Laurel for drainage and flood checks, and attached communities add association obligations. Past-due dues or a wet basement change what a buyer can pay. Ask your servicer for a payoff and the association for a written statement of what is owed before choosing a route, so the numbers you compare are real and not estimates.

How Kaizen can help

Send us the Mount Laurel address, whether it has an association, and the dates on your notices. We look at it and send a cash offer within 24 hours. Call before the last week if you can, because a sale needs time for title work, the payoff letter and the closing itself.

If a sale fits your time, we can close in 14 to 30 days or on your date. We cannot say it will beat a sale date, which is why we want the date first. Turning us down is fine. A counselor's plan to keep the home stays on the table. Our number is 267-329-0084.

Facing Foreclosure in Mount Laurel: questions

What are the first steps after a foreclosure notice?

The courts page points to the 30-day notice period for working out the debt with the lender and requesting mediation. Keep every letter and call a housing counselor or attorney.

How long do I have to answer a complaint?

35 days from receipt, using the court's answer packet. An attorney can help you file.

Can I sell a Mount Laurel townhome before the sheriff sale?

Often, if you still own it and the sale pays off the loan and recorded liens in time. The title company will want association paperwork. Share the sale date with us early. The title company will also check for unpaid dues and recorded liens before closing.
