Understanding Your Options: Three Different Paths

When you are facing foreclosure or financial distress, it can feel like you have no choices. In reality, you usually have three, but they are not created equal. Here is how they compare.

1. The Bank: The "Protocol" Approach

The bank’s primary goal is to protect its loans. While they may offer options such as loan modifications or forbearance, these are often temporary fixes that "kick the can down the road" without addressing the underlying financial stress.

• The Focus: The Debt.

• The Process: Bureaucratic, rigid, and impersonal. You are a loan number, not a person.

• The Outcome: Often results in delaying the inevitable or fighting a long, confusing battle to save a home that has become a financial burden.

2. The "Cash" Investor: The "Quick Fix" Approach

You have likely seen the signs: "We Buy Houses for Cash." Investors offer speed and convenience, but that convenience comes at a steep price. They are businesses looking to buy low and sell high—which means their profit comes directly out of your equity.

• The Focus: The Asset (Your House).

• The Process: Fast and transactional. They solve the "house problem" immediately but often ignore your need for future financial security.

• The Outcome: You get out quickly, but you often walk away with "pennies on the dollar," leaving substantial money on the table that you could have used to restart your life.

3. The CSG Method: The "Fresh Start" Approach

We view you as a partner, not a distressed asset. We combine the speed of a solution with the expertise of a real estate brokerage to maximize the money in your pocket. We run the real numbers to see if we can leverage your home’s equity to pay off your debt and fund your future.

• The Focus: The Person (You and Your Future).

• The Process: Educational and strategic. We analyze your specific financial picture to find the "Space to Breathe."

• The Outcome: A planned exit that aims to protect your credit, maximize your cash walk-away amount, and secure your next living situation—often with months of rent paid in advance.
