Yes, if a Sheriff sale of your home is scheduled, and you do not take the necessary steps to prevent it from occurring, you could lose your home. However, before a Sheriff sale can be scheduled in Delaware, it takes at least four to five months for the mortgage foreclosure process to be completed since a mortgage company must first file a mortgage foreclosure lawsuit against the owners of the real estate, serve the homeowners with a copy of the lawsuit, proceed with mandatory foreclosure mediation, which is required in Delaware in most situations, and obtain judgment against the homeowner so that a Sheriff sale of the property can be scheduled. Therefore, as a Delaware bankruptcy attorney, I can tell you that despite threatening statements by mortgage company representatives that you are going to lose your home the next day unless you immediately bring your mortgage payments current, such threats are false and meant to intimidate the homeowner into making payments. As stated above, Delaware requires mandatory mortgage foreclosure mediation, which means that if the homeowner resides in the property, the homeowners can elect mediation and try to attempt to work out a resolution with the mortgage company that allows the homeowner to keep the property and remain in their home. This generally occurs in the form of a loan modification agreement that brings the mortgage current by adding the mortgage arrears to the principal of the loan and extending the loan term by a certain number of years. Since it takes several months for the mortgage mediation hearing to be scheduled, that gives the homeowner time to provide the mortgage company with the number of financial documents required by the mortgage company in the loan modification process to determine whether the homeowners qualify for a loan modification of their mortgage.
