Facing foreclosure in Frisco or Collin County can feel overwhelming — but you may have more options than you realize. Optimum Home Buyers helps homeowners avoid foreclosure by purchasing properties quickly, often before the auction date.
How Texas Foreclosure Works
Texas is a non-judicial foreclosure state, which means foreclosure can move faster than in many other states. Here’s the typical timeline:
- Missed payments — Lender sends notices after 1–3 missed payments
- Notice of default — Formal notice sent to homeowner
- 21-day auction notice — Lender must provide at least 21 days notice before auction
- Foreclosure auction — Property sold at courthouse steps on the first Tuesday of the month
The full process can happen in as little as 3–6 months from the first missed payment. Acting early gives you the most options.
Your Options When Facing Foreclosure
- Catch up on payments — If you can bring the loan current, the foreclosure process stops
- Loan modification — Contact your lender to restructure your loan terms
- Refinance — Replace your current loan with a new one (requires equity and qualifying credit)
- Short sale — Sell the home for less than owed with lender approval (takes time)
- Sell to a cash buyer — The fastest option; can close before the auction date

How Probate Sales Work in Texas

We coordinate directly with the title company and, when needed, with your estate attorney to ensure the transaction is handled correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you stop foreclosure in Frisco, TX?
You may be able to stop foreclosure by selling the property before the auction date. In Texas, foreclosure auctions occur on the first Tuesday of each month. If you contact us early enough, we can often close before that date, protecting your credit and allowing you to keep any equity above what’s owed.
How long does foreclosure take in Texas?
Texas is a non-judicial foreclosure state. The process can happen in as little as 3–6 months from the first missed payment. Lenders must provide at least 21 days notice before the auction date.
Can you sell a house during probate in Texas?
Yes, in most cases. Once the executor or administrator has been appointed and granted authority to sell by the court, the property can be sold. We work with estate attorneys to ensure the process is handled correctly.
Do all heirs have to agree to sell an inherited house in Texas?
Generally, yes — all heirs with an ownership interest must agree to the sale. However, if heirs cannot agree, a partition action through the courts may be an option. We can help facilitate conversations between heirs to reach a fair resolution.
