What’s different in Sewell

The notice, the complaint and the clock

New Jersey Courts lists the order. The lender issues a Notice of Intent to Foreclose and gives at least 30 days from receipt to pay off the debt or make other arrangements. The complaint is filed with the Office of Foreclosure and served on you by certified mail, courier or in person. You then have 35 days to file an answer. Write down each date, and keep every envelope. The dates tell your attorney or counselor which deadline is running. Put everything in one folder so you can hand it over in a single visit.

Mediation and who to call

The Foreclosure Mediation Program is listed as active for eligible residential cases under Rule 4:64-1B. To request it, you submit an application with the mediation checklist and a financial worksheet. The Office of Foreclosure and Superior Court Clerk's Office can be reached at 609-421-6100 or [email protected]. A housing counselor can help you complete the worksheet.

Sale date and house condition

The county sheriff handles the sale, so confirm the date and any registration rules with the foreclosing attorney and the Sheriff's Office for your county. For a Washington Township house, first-generation roofs and mechanical systems and some localized flooding may reduce what a buyer can pay, according to the county's hazard plan. A written payoff from your servicer shows how much room a sale leaves. If the house is worth more than you owe, a sale before the auction can protect your equity. If it is not, ask your counselor what a short sale would require and whether the lender would agree.

Checklist before you sell

  • Notice of Intent to Foreclose and each letter after it
  • The complaint, with the day you were served
  • The court's answer packet and mediation checklist
  • Written payoff figure and recent mortgage statements
  • Tax bills, insurance papers and the deed
  • Pay stubs or income records for the financial worksheet
  • The sale date if the lender's attorney has set one

How Kaizen can help

Send us the Sewell address and the dates on your notices. We look at the house as it is and send a cash offer within 24 hours, so you can set it next to the payoff. The earlier you call, the more options you have.

If a sale works, we can close in 14 to 30 days or on your date. We cannot promise it will beat a sale date, which is why we ask for the date up front. You may say no, and a counselor's plan to keep the house stays open. Call 267-329-0084.

Facing Foreclosure in Sewell: questions

How long do I have to answer?

The court page says 35 days to file an answer. An attorney can help you decide what to file.

Can I ask for mediation after I am served?

The page says the initial 30-day notice period is a good time to request mediation. Ask the Office of Foreclosure at 609-421-6100 what applies to your case.

Can I sell before the sheriff sale?

Often, if you still own the house and the sale pays off the loan and recorded liens in time. A foreclosure attorney can confirm the timing. Give us the sale date at the start.

Will an old roof or furnace stop a sale?

Not for a cash as-is buyer. The offer reflects the work, and you do not pay for the repairs.
