Behind on Mortgage Payments? Here’s How to Avoid Foreclosure in Louisiana

Falling behind on your mortgage can feel overwhelming. You may be getting notices from your lender, avoiding phone calls, or unsure what your next move should be. If you’re in Louisiana and facing possible foreclosure, you’re not alone—and you have options.

At Bertucci Investment Group (BIG), we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners like you avoid foreclosure and move forward with peace of mind. Here’s what you need to know now.


1. Understanding the Foreclosure Process in Louisiana

Louisiana is a judicial foreclosure state, meaning the lender must go through the court system to foreclose on your property. Here’s a simplified timeline of how it usually plays out:

  • 30+ Days Late: You’re officially in default. The lender will begin sending notices.
  • 90+ Days Late: The lender may file a foreclosure lawsuit.
  • Summons Issued: You’ll be served court documents and have a short window to respond.
  • Judgment & Auction: If no payment or resolution is made, the home may be sold at auction.

Important: The entire process can move faster than expected. Staying ahead of it is key.


2. Your Legal Rights as a Homeowner

Louisiana law allows you some protections:

  • Right to cure default: You may be able to bring the loan current before the foreclosure sale.
  • Right to contest: You can challenge the foreclosure in court (though this can be expensive).
  • Right to sell before auction: This is where BIG can step in to help.

3. How to Stop Foreclosure Without Ruining Your Credit

Many homeowners don’t realize that selling your home before foreclosure is often the fastest and least stressful solution. Here’s why:

Avoid foreclosure on your credit
Walk away with cash (even if you have little or no equity)
Stop legal proceedings
Save your peace of mind
