Stop Power of Sale

Tembo Financial Can Help With Stopping Power of Sale

Are you in a situation where your existing lender has put you into a power of sale or you are about to be put into Power of Sale? The process is daunting. With expensive default penalties and ongoing lawyer fees, the cost of a power of sale can be frightening and eat whatever equity is left in a home! At Tembo Financial, we help homeowners stop the power of sale process and allow them to control the sale of their home, saving them lots of stress and money! Tembo can provide funds fast and efficiently to buyout the existing mortgage that is currently under power of sale with flexible terms that fit perfectly for the homeowner.

In most cases with power of sale, the homeowner is no longer able to afford their mortgage obligations due to several reasons, such as job loss and or changes in the family dynamic or perhaps something else.Regardless of the situation, it’s always in the best interest of the homeowner to control their sale and minimize the amount of “stigma equity” lost through a power of sale.

What is Power of Sale?

Power of sale is the process a mortgage lender takes to recoup their money when a borrower falls behind or fails to make their monthly mortgage payments. Borrowers can also be faced with a power of sale if they break any terms of their mortgage commitment including but not limited to paying property taxes, obtaining home insurance, using the property for illegal activities and not keeping the property in a livable condition.

When a borrower is forced into a power of sale, the homeowner and their family can be evicted from the home so the mortgage lender can prepare to list the property for sale in an attempt to recoup their investment.

Power of Sales tend to be very expensive as the borrower is responsible for covering all the default penalties, outstanding and ongoing interest of the loan as well as lawyer fees and any other costs involved throughout the power of sale process.

What is “stigma equity?

Stigma equity is the loss in sales value of a house selling under power of sale versus selling traditionally with the homeowner listed as the seller. Many buyers assume (and are often correct) that they can achieve purchasing a property below the market value when it is being sold as a power of sale, as the lender’s intention is recouping their investment, not making a profit on the property. The difference between the sale price vs what it would sell for at market value is the stigma equity that homeowners under power of sale risk losing.

Example of Stigma Equity

Imagine two identical houses are for sale on the same street, with the same lot size, same square footage, same number of rooms and finishings. One of the houses is listed as a normal sale and the other listed as power of sale. Most buyers expect a deal when putting an offer on a power of sale property, and often receive it. The stigma equity is the difference between what the normal sale sells for versus the property that is sold as power of sale.

1A Apple Way is being sold by the owners. 1B Apple Way is being sold as power of sale. Remember, these houses are 100% identical. 1A Apple Way sold for $900,000.00 by the owners. 1B Apple Way sold for $725,000.00 by the bank or lender under power of sale. The stigma equity in this example is a loss of $175,000.00 or roughly 20% loss in value all because the property was sold under power of sale.

In many cases yes. Clients who find themselves in a power of sale, or foreclosure situation often struggle to make their mortgage payments or have stopped making payments altogether. Tembo Financial assists homeowners by allowing them to control the sale of their property rather than letting the bank control the sale which is never in the best interest of the homeowner. In the end, the property will be sold but allowing the homeowner to retain more equity than if they went power of sale and let the bank take control. Call us today to learn more.
