Travis County Foreclosure Help
Stop Foreclosure in Austin —
You Still Have Options
Texas foreclosure auctions happen on the first Tuesday of every month. A cash sale can close in 14 days — often before your auction date.
We’ve helped Austin homeowners stop foreclosure, protect their equity, and close quickly. Free consultation — no obligation.
⏰ Time matters. Texas law gives lenders only 21 days to post a Notice of Trustee’s Sale before auction. If you’ve received this notice, call us immediately.

Your 5 Real Options Right Now
The right option depends on your timeline, equity position, and financial situation.
Cash Sale (Fastest)
FastestSell to Capitol City Buyers before the auction date. We close in as little as 14 days — often faster than the 21-day notice window if we act quickly. You receive cash at closing and walk away with no foreclosure on your record.
Loan Reinstatement
Pay all past-due amounts in a lump sum to bring the mortgage current. Your lender must provide a reinstatement quote on request. Works if you have access to funds (family loan, retirement account, etc.).
Loan Modification or Forbearance
Request a temporary pause or permanent change to your loan terms. Requires documentation (pay stubs, hardship letter). Takes 30–90 days — start immediately if considering this option.
Short Sale
Sell for less than you owe with lender approval. Requires a willing buyer and lender sign-off — typically takes 60–120 days minimum. Best if you're underwater on the property.
Deed in Lieu
Voluntarily sign the deed back to the lender in exchange for release from the mortgage. Avoids formal foreclosure on your credit record but requires lender agreement.
