Facing foreclosure in Federal Way? Start here.
King County is Washington's largest and most competitive market, so equity tends to be high — which means selling before the sale can protect real money. Whatever stage you're at — a few payments behind, a Notice of Default, or a scheduled trustee's sale — we can help you understand exactly where you stand and what to do next.
How foreclosure works for Federal Way homeowners
Like the rest of Washington, Federal Way foreclosures are handled non-judicially under the state Deed of Trust Act — through a trustee, without a court case. The lender records a Notice of Trustee's Sale with the King County Recorder's Office in Seattle, and by law the sale can't happen sooner than 120 days after that notice. Sales for King County homes are typically held at the King County Administration Building / 4th Ave entrance in downtown Seattle.
The most important deadline: you can usually reinstate your loan (pay what's past due plus costs) up to 11 days before the sale — and you can sell right up until the sale itself. That's why Federal Way homeowners who act early keep the most options.

Federal Way foreclosure questions
Can I sell my house fast in Federal Way if I'm facing foreclosure?
Yes. In Washington your right to sell lasts until the trustee's sale itself, so Federal Way homeowners can sell — to a cash buyer or on the market — any time before that date. A cash sale can often close in days, before your sale date, so you protect your credit and equity.
How long do I have before a foreclosure sale in Federal Way?
Washington is a non-judicial foreclosure state. After you're 120+ days behind, the lender records a Notice of Trustee's Sale, and by law the sale can't be held sooner than 120 days after that. So Federal Way homeowners typically have several months to act — but the sooner the better.
Where is the foreclosure auction held for Federal Way homes?
Federal Way is in King County, so trustee's sales for local homes are generally held at the King County Administration Building / 4th Ave entrance in downtown Seattle, and the notices are recorded with the King County Recorder's Office in Seattle.
Do you charge Federal Way homeowners any fees?
Never. Our help is free, and if you sell to us there are no commissions, no closing costs, and no repairs — we buy as-is. Anyone asking for money upfront to stop a foreclosure is a scam.
