What Can Loss Mitigation Do For Me?
The goal of loss mitigation is to work out
an agreement between the homeowner and the lender that will stop foreclosure
proceedings permanently. This allows the homeowner to stay in their home and
protects their credit history.
Do I Have Enough Time To Stop The
Foreclosure?
Up until the foreclosure sale occurs, there
is still hope. If a sale date for your house has been set you need to act fast.
We have stopped sales set for the next day but this is very risky and some
lenders will not agree to it. Your best option is to take action immediately to
stop the foreclosure before it goes too far.
I Have Already Spoken With My Mortgage
Lender, And All They Want Is The Money That Is Owed. Can You Still Help
Me?
Yes. Most of our clients have experienced
this kind of inflexibility from their lenders before calling us. We get your
bank to listen to your needs because they know and trust us. We have mitigated
many of home foreclosure cases. That kind of experience gives us credibility
with your lender. Over the years we have developed positive working
relationships with key people at most banks. Our integrity and professionalism
have earned us a reputation that allows us to be heard when no one else can get
through the red tape. We will use our experience and connections to your
advantage.
Should I Negotiate With My Mortgage
Lender Myself?
If you are only a payment or two behind and
your lender has not hired an attorney to begin foreclosure proceedings you may
be able to negotiate a work out agreement yourself. If you are successful then
you have saved yourself some funds that can be used to get caught up on your
mortgage. Just remember, don't waste a lot of time on this, The lender's primary
objectives are their best interest and company’s profits … not yours.
Time is not on your
side right now. If you don't have something worked out within 1-2 weeks, then
it's obvious that your lender is not serious about working things out with you
directly. When you get to that point you will be better served by professional
representation that can use the formal business and legal protocols to your
advantage. Many times they will lead you to believe they are working out a
resolution and then all of a sudden you get a letter from an attorney. By then
it may be too late for us to help you. Don't make that mistake.
| How Long Do I Have To
Act?
Time is of the essence when you are behind
on house payments. Time is definitely not your friend in this situation. Each
day that passes makes it that much harder to obtain a work out agreement with
your lender that you can live with. The home foreclosure process can take
anywhere from a few weeks to many months, depending on your state law and the
method of foreclosure your lender chooses to use.
What If Am No Longer Able To Afford My
Home. Can You Still Help Me?
Yes. If you are certain that you cannot
afford your home any longer and wish to sell, we can help you to secure a short
sale payoff or a deed-in lieu of foreclosure agreement with your lender. Often
times these agreements can be arranged at a low or no cost to
you.
Should I File For Bankruptcy To Save My
Home?
No! That doesn't usually work. The American
Bar Association has reported that 96% of homeowners who declare bankruptcy end
up losing their home to foreclosure anyway. Bankruptcy is very unlikely going to
help you save your home. If you declare bankruptcy you will likely end up with
BOTH a bankruptcy and a foreclosure on your credit report.

I Am Currently In Bankruptcy. Can You
Still Help?
Yes. But we cannot negotiate a work out
agreement with your lender until your mortgage has been discharged or dismissed
from the bankruptcy proceedings. Our professional loss mitigation consultants
can still evaluate your case and explain the best options to save your home.
Then when the mortgage is out of the bankruptcy, we can proceed with the home
foreclosure help. Sometimes after bankruptcy, it is easier to make a mortgage
payment because other debts have been discharged.
Several Companies Have Contacted Me
Offering Help. What Makes You Different?
There are many predatory companies who are
not what they appear to be. Beware of unscrupulous companies who are actually
just interested in buying your house at a big discount, or attorneys who just
want to take you into bankruptcy, or companies that collect a consultation fee
then do nothing for you. We have some of the most experienced and well respected
specialists in the industry whose sole purpose is to save your home, not buy it,
sell it, or send you into bankruptcy. If you have spoken to one of us you
already know the difference, if not, give us a call, speak with one of our
professionals and judge for yourself. The consultation is FREE.

Process?
We specialize in resolutions of mortgage

service within the context of your situation. By working with you and your
lender, we can tailor a resolution to meet your specific criteria and financial
situation.
How Long Does It Take For You To Complete
The Mitigation Process Once All The Paperwork Has Been Filled
Out?
Anywhere from 2 weeks to a few months. This
depends on the stage of the foreclosure proceedings, the state you live in, your
financial position and the lending institution. Typically it takes several weeks
to complete a workout agreement and stop foreclosure proceedings.
Do I Need To Have A Special Type of Mortgage
Loan For You To Be Able To Help Me?

resolutions of government and non-government mortgage delinquencies or home
