How close to a FC sale can I start a SS?

[Jeff NA]

It seems that I am having little success mailing to people within two or three days of the NOD being filed, and from the calls that I have generated I would hypothesize that this is because most people still think there is another answer other than selling.

On the other end of things, when they've given up on those hopes and realize that a SS may be their only option left I would still love to be there for them. I do not, however, want to get a seller's hopes up too close to the foreclosure sale by promising something that I cannot deliver.

With that being said, it a week before the sale date too late to submit the paperwork? Two weeks? Will I be able to get the date postponed and allow me time to get the rest of my ducks in order? Is there a time when it just isn't worth offering my services, or should I keep mailing right up until the last few days?
