When you're facing foreclosure in New Jersey, time is your most valuable asset — and there are legal ways to get more of it. A foreclosure extension, often achieved through adjournment of the sheriff sale, can give you weeks or even months of additional time. Common strategies include filing a motion to adjourn the sale (which the court may grant for good cause), requesting a loan modification from your lender, entering into a forbearance agreement, or demonstrating that a sale is pending. At Sargent Homes, we've helped many homeowners buy time by presenting the lender with a signed purchase contract, which shows the bank they'll be made whole. In many cases, lenders are willing to delay proceedings when they see a legitimate sale in progress. We work directly with your lender and their attorneys to negotiate extensions and ensure you have enough time to close.
