Programs Offered
Here are the options available to you when you work with us:
* Restructure/Modification - We can negotiate with your lender to get your loan in good standing again. There are many options available to us to get a restructure approved like a separate payment plan for your delinquency or even adding the delinquency to the end of your loan. In most cases we can negotiate a lower monthly payment! We can also negotiate to have your ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage) converted to a Fixed Rate mortgage.
* Reinstatement - Pay your lender(s) all of your past due payments to bring your mortgage current. This option is rarely feasible.
* Refinance - We have established relationships with very reputable lenders who can give loans on mortgages that are in foreclosure if there is enough equity in your property available.
* Sell Your Home - You may simply sell your home before the Foreclosure Sale Date. Sometimes the home owner is unable to sell the home outright at the desired sale price and this is not an option.
* Short Sale - We may be able to negotiate a Short Sale on your behalf with your lender(s). In this instance the lender may take less than what you owe on the loan to avoid a lengthy and costly foreclosure process.
* Deed-in-lieu of Foreclosure - We can arrange for you to simply give the home back to the lender and walk away with a clean slate.
* Bankruptcy - This is a last resort. This will only save your home temporarily. If you miss one payment during this process the lender will put you right back into foreclosure.
* Foreclosure - You may elect to allow the home to be entered into mortgage foreclosure. This is the most damaging to you. The lender will take your home and all of your equity. If there is no equity, your lender may get a deficiency judgment against you and come after you to repay the shortage or "deficiency". This is the most damaging to your credit and your ability to acquire another home loan.
* Special Forbearance/Reduce Payment Plan - this is suggested as a temporary solution to keep you in your home while you sell the property. This allows you to avoid foreclosure and minimize the damage done to your credit rating.

Chairmain of the FDIC, Sheila Bair- “Lenders should extend “teaser” rates on all subprime adjustable-rate mortgages if the borrowers haven’t missed any payments and they live in the homes, Bair said today in New York.
“With this type of cooperation from loan servicers, we can save tens of thousands of people from being added to the foreclosure lists. This common-sense approach does not involve a government subsidy or bailout,” said Governor Schwarzenegger.
