How long do I have to get out of my home that was foreclosed on?
Full Question:
I hired a foreclosure specialist to help me get out of this and sell the home before it was foreclosed. He did not do this and it was auctioned off without my knowledge. Now he will not talk to me and says there was nothing he could do. I wasted my time with him. How long do I have to get out now that it has been foreclosed on? He says the bank has to file a creed? I don't know what he is talking about and choose not to believe him any longer since all he did was take my money.

Answer:
It takes a court order to force you to leave your home. Ultimately you may be evicted, but there are procedures within the court system that the mortgage holder must follow-first for the foreclosure, then for the eviction. You are allowed to stay in your house during the entire foreclosure process. It takes time.
