A third party will represent your interests legally

At a certain point a homeowner will be overwhelmed with the amount of notices and letter he or she will receive from the lending institution. Receiving numerous solicitations, and offers to modify your mortgage can also be tiring.

What you need is a team of experts, and advisors who will point you in the right direction. A homeowner has choices, and the sooner they learn what options are at hand the better off they will be. They must also decide whether or not they wish to remain in their home, or if they prefer to sell it in what is commonly referred to as a short sale.

Although the home has received many offers for a loan modification, there is absolutely no guarantee that you will qualify for the modification. Your lender can and should provide assistance, and answer your questions with a certain level of professionalism. The interaction between the lender and the homeowner is unfortunately very rough as the foreclosure looms. A lender may not help the borrower at all; this is usually the case.

Your lender has the ability to help you. If the bank is reluctant to offer you assistance, then you will need to find a third party to intervene on your behalf. A third party will represent your interests legally, and with your best interest in mind. There are many benefits of finding an experienced third party organization to move you through the foreclosure process. [Read more...]

Is this property really worth fighting for, or should I sell it?

If you are now in a foreclosure, your choices are limited. However, help is available, and you have several options to stop the foreclosure process.

If you have owned your house, and your name is on the deed, for an extended period, or you have significant equity on your property that you want to save, the following options may apply to you.

A loan modification can decrease the banks approach towards your property in question. If you are able to lower your monthly mortgages payments by half, or a third of what were prior to your current financial crisis, your chances of staying in your home will increase. Not all banks will hand out a loan modification.

A more damaging method in avoiding a foreclosure is filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. This motion will ruin your credit for years to come, and may produce other side effects years later. Chapter 13 bankruptcy will offer the immediate protection on your assets, and it will offer you the unique opportunity to catch up on outstanding payments within a time frame of 3 to 5 years.

Both a loan modification and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, will provide temporary relief to a long term problem. One other method in dealing with an impending foreclosure is to find an investor to buy your home directly from you. Premier Real Estate NYC is a company that helps homeowners in all three methods: loan modification, Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and selling your home. [Read more...]

Understanding the Foreclosure Process in New York City

If you, or someone you know, has recently been served with a summons for foreclosure, you should contact a financial expert, or real estate professional immediately.

What does it mean that your bank is coming after your home to redeem its collateral? Since you have been unable to make your monthly payments the bank is losing money. As a result they are going to take legal action in order to obtain your home in the hopes of either turning a profit, or at the least, cut their losses.

Foreclosure litigation differs from most other types of litigation. A foreclosure is made up of seven unique steps. This process can last between 18 and 24 months to finish; however if you ignore the summons, and disregard the bank’s notices, than you could be losing time and valuable options that are time sensitive.
