TGIF !!! Exemption "distribution" (?) on Real Property
The better question is this.......has anybody's client ever gotten a check for the full exemption amount when the trustee sells? Personally I have never seen it.

This is very interesting! I had never thought about this plan but I can see
it would be good for some clients!
Is there a sale date already set by lender? Is client trying to sell house
on the market? Doing the math, and presuming even $350K instead of $400K, a
sale would be better and then spend some money and then file Chapter 7
later, but of course there may be contributing factors pushing for an
earlier sale.

Sometimes it takes a little time for the process to work, but yes. Client
will, eventually, get a check.

Listmates;
Clients owns real property worth 400K, lien amount is $225.00 Client is 8
months behind on payments and wants to file Chapter 7. If client does not
file, lender will foreclose and presumably sell for loan amount to get
property sold quick. Client seemingly gets little, if any equity. However,
if client files Chapter 7, client wants to claim $75,000 homestead
exemption.
Assuming Trustee wants to sell property, and does so with distribution to
creditors, does client get $75,000 check for exemption amount? Trying to
analogize by Vehicle exemptions here.
