What’s different in Willingboro

Three deadlines in New Jersey

The courts page lays out the order. The lender sends a Notice of Intent to Foreclose with at least 30 days from receipt to pay off or make other arrangements, and the page says that is the moment to request mediation. After the complaint is filed and served, you have 35 days to answer. The Foreclosure Mediation Program is listed as active for eligible residential cases, with an application, a checklist and a financial worksheet. Write down the date each paper arrives.

Burlington County runs the sheriff's sale

The Burlington County Sheriff's Office is at 49 Rancocas Road in Mount Holly and takes calls at 609-265-5127, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The foreclosure unit can be emailed at [email protected]. The county posts a foreclosure sales listing online. The page limits cash payments to $2,000. Check the date for your address with the foreclosing attorney.

Original-systems houses and the payoff

Willingboro's planned 1960s neighborhoods hold houses whose original plumbing, electrical and roofing may need work. A sale only helps if the price covers the payoff and recorded claims. Ask your servicer for a written payoff, and ask the title company for a lien search before you count on any equity.

Checklist before you sell

  • Every letter from your lender, especially the Notice of Intent to Foreclose
  • The foreclosure complaint, with the date you were served
  • The court's answer packet and the mediation checklist and worksheet
  • A written payoff figure and your last three mortgage statements
  • Property tax bill, insurance papers and deed
  • Pay stubs or other income records for the mediation worksheet
  • The sheriff sale date, if one has been set
  • A short note on repairs you know the house needs, such as the roof or the heater
