Know all your options

Every path forward in Glades County,
explained honestly

There's rarely just one answer. Here are the real options Glades County property owners have — including the ones that don't involve us at all.

Keep your property

Loan modification, repayment plans, forbearance, or a Glades County tax payment plan may let you keep it. We'll point you to free, HUD-approved counselors near Moore Haven who help with this.

Stay in place

Sell on the market

If you have time and equity, a traditional sale in Moore Haven may net you the most. We'll tell you honestly when this is your best move — even though it isn't us.

Maximize price

Recover surplus funds

If your Glades County property already sold at auction for more than you owed, that extra money may belong to you — not the bank or the county. Most people never claim it.

You may be owed money

Sell fast for cash

Need to move quickly or beat the auction date? A direct cash sale — house, land, or commercial in Glades County — can close in days. One option we may offer directly, clearly disclosed, never pushed.

Speed & certainty

Deed in lieu / settlement

Handing the property back, or settling the tax debt, can sometimes protect your credit better than a full foreclosure. We'll explain when it makes sense in Glades County.

💰 The money most Glades owners never claim

Did your Glades County property sell for more than you owed?

When a property in Glades County sells at a mortgage-foreclosure or tax-deed auction for more than the debt owed, the leftover — called surplus funds — is held by the Glades County Clerk of Courts and often belongs to you, the former owner.

But there's a catch: the clock is ticking — generally 60 days from the clerk's notice under Fla. Stat. §45.032 — and others comb these records to claim it first. Most owners never even know it exists.
