Frequently Asked Questions
How much does your guidance cost?
Your consultation is free. We’ll talk through your situation and possible next steps, with no obligation to sell.
What happens after I request a consultation?
We’ll contact you using your preferred method to learn about your situation, timeline, and goals. We’ll explain how GDL may be able to help and discuss possible next steps. The consultation is free, and you’re not obligated to sell.
What areas do you serve?
Our primary focus is Cumberland, Dauphin, and Lancaster Counties.
What if my auction is within 14 days?
Call our emergency line at 223-278-6662 and tell us your scheduled auction date. We can discuss your situation and whether GDL may be able to help. Also contact your mortgage servicer or a HUD-approved housing counselor promptly, because deadlines matter.
How does foreclosure affect my credit?
Foreclosure can significantly lower your credit score and generally stays on your credit report for seven years. It can make borrowing harder or more expensive. The effect depends on your credit history and can lessen over time as you rebuild your credit.
Can foreclosure make it harder to rent a home?
Yes. Many landlords review credit when evaluating rental applications. A foreclosure may make approval harder or lead to a request for a cosigner or a larger security deposit. Renting can still be possible; requirements vary by landlord and property.
Am I obligated to sell my home to you?
No. A consultation or written offer does not commit you to selling. You decide whether to move forward.
Do I need to make repairs before selling to GDL?
No. If you choose to explore selling to GDL, we can discuss buying your home in its current condition, without requiring repairs first. You can review a written, no-obligation offer and decide whether it works for you.
What if I just want to let the bank take the house?
Even if you no longer want to keep the home, you may have other ways to move on. Before letting foreclosure proceed, consider how it could affect your credit and next housing plans. Your free consultation is a chance to talk through your situation and how GDL may be able to help, with no obligation to sell.
