When your home is on the verge of foreclosure, you certainly will do anything possible to save it. But the problem is how you will do it. The first thing, among many, is going to your lender/banker and asking for help.

You submit an offer to buy a home only after you’ve done your research about your prospective home and if you’re already comfortable dealing with the seller. You still have to do some work after you’ve made your offer though. A seller can either accept or reject an offer. Be prepared to negotiate your way through in getting the price you want.
