Your Options
Below is a list of plans and methods that we use to stop the foreclosure sale. These plans are summarized briefly below.
LOAN MODIFICATION
If you have incurred a long term financial hardship you can ask for loan modification.
It's most often used to reduce a borrower’s payment when the cause of the default is permanent or long term.
The loan is modified to better suit the borrowers current income and situation.
The amount owed can sometimes be tacked on to the back end of the mortgage which prevents the borrower from having to put so much money down up front
FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT
Special forbearance may be offered to borrowers who have recently experienced a verifiable loss of income or increase in living expenses,
but who now have sufficient monthly income to correct the delinquency and reinstate the loan within the duration of a monthly plan either
through gradual repayment of the delinquent amount, or through a combination of repayment and modification
SHORT SALE / SHORT PAYOFF
A short sale or quick sale is a plan to sell your house. When a lender agrees to allow a short sale,
they agree to accept less for your house than you owe on it to avoid foreclosure.
There may be tax ramifications associated with any short payoff or foreclosure,therefore we
recommend you contact your tax advisor for details.
DEED-IN-LIEU OF FORECLOSURE
If you have incurred a long term financial hardship and your house has been on the market.
A deed in lieu is somtimes acceptable to a lender. When accepted, this option allows
you to deed your house back to your lender to avoid foreclosure. The lender releases you from the mortgage and repossesses the house.
