Introducing Balance

First, we’ll end foreclosure.

Losing a home is one of the hardest things that can happen to a family.

Today, as coronavirus forbearance programs have ended and inflation hits home, we find the economy on the brink. Millions of American homeowners are just a few missed payments away from losing their homes no matter how much equity they’ve worked to build.

For some families, staying in their current home is more affordable than moving to a rental. However, it’s simply not an option once they fall too far behind. They may have equity available in their home to remedy the situation but can't access it.

We believe that homeowners are more than their credit scores.

Often, it’s an unexpected life event that sets someone back — a health issue, an extended job search, or the need to care for a loved one. These events can come as a surprise and are often temporary, but they can kick off a spiral of unpaid bills, late fees, and rising debt that’s difficult to escape from.

Co-Ownership with Balance solves this.

We’re a more flexible and affordable way to own a home that replaces a lender with a co-owner (that’s Balance 👋).

We start by understanding a homeowner's situation and determining if Balance will be a good solution for them. If so, we pay off their entire mortgage and other high-interest debt in exchange for an ownership share of their home. This breaks our homeowners out of a downward debt spiral by drastically reducing their monthly debt payments. It gives them a fresh start and the cashflow needed to rebuild their credit. Importantly, the homeowners we partner with remain in control — they get to stay in the home they love and can sell, move, or transition back to a traditional mortgage at any time.

Balance exists to help families stay in their homes with the flexibility to get back on their feet. Our mission is to help these homeowners avoid foreclosure or forced sale.

If you are facing foreclosure/forbearance or have too much debt to overcome; I wholeheartedly recommend this company. Reset your life and you will still own your home. You cannot find a better deal!”
