If your home is sold before your secured loan is fully paid off—and the sale proceeds aren't enough to cover the balance:
- Best Egg may declare your loan in default.
- The remaining loan balance will still be owed and the lien on your home’s fixtures will remain active.
- This could delay or prevent the sale from closing.
To avoid complications, ensure your loan is paid in full before or at closing. The lien removal process begins once the loan is paid off and 10 days have passed.
