Your Tri- Option Strategy

While you pursue loss mitigation, the disciplined move is to prepare for more than one outcome. Submitting your application starts the process; preserving time protects your leverage.

Listing the property is not surrender — it is a hedge. It introduces market validation and an alternative path without obligating you to accept an offer. If loss mitigation is denied or circumstances shift, you are not starting from zero while the clock continues to run.

Pursue assistance while preserving optionality. That is how position is protected.
