Local homeowner guidance

A clear next step for Montgomery County homeowners.

Whether the property is in Norristown, Pottstown, the Main Line, or another Montgomery County community, the useful next step is a clear timeline: payments missed, notices received, servicer conversations, and any scheduled court or sale date.

Montgomery County maintains official county information for courts, the sheriff, and public services. Confirm the current status of any case or sale through official sources and qualified professionals; an online options review does not pause a legal deadline.

County-specific planning

Questions can change across Montgomery County.

These examples are general planning considerations, not legal or property-value conclusions.

Norristown and central Montgomery County

When notices, court information, and servicer letters use different terminology, create one dated timeline. Record who sent each notice, what response was requested, and whether the servicer says an application is complete.

Pottstown and western communities

A property needing repairs or a homeowner planning a move may require a different sale strategy than a move-in-ready home. Compare listing preparation, carrying costs, an as-is offer, and the time remaining before making a commitment.

Eastern Montgomery and the Main Line area

Home values do not by themselves establish usable equity. Confirm the mortgage payoff, liens, estimated selling expenses, and occupancy needs so that alternatives are compared using expected net results.

Compare the paths

Start with the outcome you want.

Explore keeping the home

Ask the mortgage servicer and a HUD-approved housing counselor about any available repayment, forbearance, modification, or other loss-mitigation review.

Compare sale options

A traditional listing or an as-is sale may be worth comparing when timing and equity permit. Review estimated proceeds, costs, contingencies, and alternatives.

Plan a transition

If keeping the property is not workable, organize the timeline, moving needs, occupancy questions, and independent professional advice before signing documents.

Official and independent help

Verify dates and options with trusted sources.

County schedules and program information can change. Use the homeowner's current notice and confirm details directly with the servicer, court, sheriff, counselor, or qualified attorney.

Montgomery County Sheriff sales

Check the official county source for current real-estate sheriff-sale information. A scheduled listing is not proof that a sale occurred, and mortgage-foreclosure sales are different from tax sales.

Montgomery County Court Administration

Review the official county or court resource, then confirm current eligibility, procedures, and case-specific effects. No program or application guarantees that a sale will be postponed or foreclosure avoided.

Act 91 notices and HEMAP

If an Act 91 notice arrives, the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency states that the homeowner must meet with a counseling agency and apply to the Homeowner's Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program within 33 days of the date on the notice for the foreclosure moratorium to apply.

Montgomery County questions

What homeowners ask first

Can I still save my home in Montgomery County after missing payments?

Possibly. Available paths depend on the loan, servicer, income, stage of the process, Pennsylvania law, and other facts. Contact the mortgage servicer and a HUD-approved housing counselor promptly.

Can I sell a house before foreclosure in Montgomery County?

A sale may be one possible path, depending on ownership, liens, equity, timing, and the legal status of the property. Compare a traditional listing, an as-is offer, and alternatives before agreeing to a transaction.

What if a sheriff sale is scheduled in Montgomery County?

Treat the matter as urgent. Contact the mortgage servicer, a qualified Pennsylvania attorney, and a HUD-approved housing counselor. Confirm dates through official county sources and do not rely only on an online form.

Does submitting this form stop foreclosure?

No. Submitting the form does not stop, postpone, or change any legal deadline or lender action.

Do I have to pay for foreclosure help?

HUD advises homeowners that they do not need to pay fees for foreclosure-prevention help and that the money is better used to pay the mortgage. HUD-approved housing counseling is available at no cost to the homeowner. Compare any paid offer against the free options first.

I received an Act 91 notice. What does that mean?

An Act 91 notice is a Pennsylvania pre-foreclosure notice that explains the right to apply for help through the Homeowner's Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program administered by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency. PHFA states that a homeowner must meet with a counseling agency and apply within 33 days of the date on the notice for the foreclosure moratorium to apply. Contact a counseling agency listed in your notice right away and confirm every date directly with PHFA or the counseling agency.
