# Foreclosure help guides

ForeclosureListings has 1 guide on foreclosure resources: sale venues and notice sources, HUD-approved housing counselors, foreclosure legal aid and state foreclosure process pages, grouped by country.

## General

- [How foreclosure works, in plain terms](https://foreclosurelistings.fyi/guides/how-foreclosure-works.md): The two ways a foreclosure runs — through the courts or through a trustee sale — what the notices mean, what a sale date changes, and the free help that exists.

> **Not legal advice.** ForeclosureListings is a directory, not a law firm, and it does not list homes for sale. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. A listing is not a recommendation. Facts come from the source named on each listing, with the date they were checked; sale venues, schedules and rules change, so confirm everything with the office or agency named before you act or pay. Beware of foreclosure rescue scams: never pay an upfront fee for help saving your home, and never sign your deed over to a stranger. Free help is available from HUD-approved housing counselors.
