When Panic Meets Possibility

When Amber Brown from Lacey, WA, first reached out to Highest Offer, she was in a desperate situation. A foreclosure notice had just landed in her mailbox—right before Thanksgiving. Overwhelmed and fearing she and her children would lose their home before the holidays, Amber made a last-minute call for help.

That call connected her with Erik Daley and his team at Highest Offer, local home-buying experts known for helping homeowners out of tough financial spots like foreclosure, probate, and fast relocations.

The Challenge: A Tight Timeline and Mounting Pressure

Amber’s biggest concern wasn’t just losing her home—it was losing her peace of mind. She wanted to spend the holidays in her home with her kids, but time was running out. With the foreclosure process already underway, she needed a buyer who could act fast without adding pressure or taking advantage of her situation.

Listing the home with an agent seemed risky due to the short timeline, but Amber also wanted to get as much equity as possible out of her property. The home itself was in decent shape, but the clock was ticking, and foreclosure timelines can be unforgiving.

The Solution: A Calm, Experienced Hand in a Storm

From the very first call, Erik’s team moved quickly and compassionately. They met with Amber within a day or two of her reaching out, giving her the reassurance she needed that she wasn’t alone in this process.

Instead of rushing into a low-ball cash sale like many investors might, Highest Offer developed a tailored plan to maximize Amber’s return and still meet her urgent deadline. Their deep experience with foreclosures allowed them to:

Communicate directly with the lender and foreclosure trustee to postpone the sale.
Coordinate with title and escrow officers to manage documentation and ensure every legal detail was handled properly.
Provide Amber with a seller’s net sheet, showing exactly what she would walk away with after paying off her loan, taxes, and fees—offering peace of mind during an uncertain time.

This proactive, transparent approach not only kept the process moving but gave Amber confidence that she was working with professionals who genuinely cared about her outcome.

The Results: Avoided Foreclosure, Maximized Equity, and a Happy Ending

Rather than settle for a lower cash offer, Erik and his team were able to list the property on the MLS, attracting a retail buyer willing to pay a higher price—all while staying within the tight foreclosure window.

In less than 45 days, the deal closed smoothly. Amber:

Stopped the foreclosure entirely.
Paid off attorney fees and liens.
Walked away with more money than she ever expected.
Got to enjoy the holidays in her home with her children before moving forward on her own terms.

After closing, Amber was overjoyed with the outcome and even recorded a video testimonial for the Highest Offer website, sharing how relieved and grateful she was for the support and professionalism she received.
