How We Helped a Cleveland Seller Avoid Foreclosure in 7 Days

At Zion Property Partners, every seller we work with has a story — and in many cases, they’re facing serious pressure to make a decision fast.

This is the true story of how we helped a Cleveland homeowner avoid foreclosure in just 7 days using a creative real estate strategy that saved their equity, protected their credit, and gave them a fresh start.

The Situation

The homeowner, Sarah (name changed for privacy), was behind on her mortgage by four months. She had recently lost her job, her savings were running out, and her lender had started the foreclosure process.

She tried working with her bank, but the red tape and delays only made things worse. With the auction date looming, she reached out to Zion Property Partners after a friend told her we help sellers in tough situations.

Our Process

Within hours of hearing from Sarah, our team jumped into action:

- We scheduled a property walkthrough that same day (virtual, since she was out of town).
- We analyzed her mortgage details, equity position, and timeline.
- We discussed all available options, including a traditional cash offer and multiple creative financing structures.

After listening closely to her goals, we presented a plan: a Subject-To deal, where we’d take over her mortgage payments, stop the foreclosure, and allow her to walk away debt-free — with money in her pocket.

The Outcome

Sarah agreed, and we got to work. We handled all paperwork, communicated with her lender, and got everything closed within 7 days.

- The foreclosure was officially canceled.
- Her credit score remained intact.
- She avoided a costly auction.
- And she left with $5,000 in moving money.

What She Said After

"I didn’t think I had any options left. Zion Property Partners gave me hope and treated me like a person — not a problem. I’m starting over with peace of mind thanks to you."

Why This Matters

Not every homeowner fits into the traditional real estate box. That’s why creative solutions like Subject-To and Seller Financing exist — to help people like Sarah.
