Missing Mortgage Payments? - There is a Way to Avoid Foreclosure

It’s Not Too Late - to Avoid Foreclosure

Wondering what a homeowner should expect when payments are missed? The most important thing to know is that no matter what stage of default a homeowner is in, there is almost always a way to avoid foreclosure. That being said, the quicker a homeowner does something about the situation, the less challenging it will be to resolve.

First, here’s what a distressed homeowner should expect to happen when payments are missed:

30 Days Late: The lender will attempt phone contact or send a notice in the mail.

60 Days Late: The lender will attempt to make contact by phone and follow up with another letter in the mail.

90 Days Late: The lender will send a letter demanding all past due amounts within 30 days and start the foreclosure process.

120 Days or More Late: The lender’s attorneys will take over and the homeowner will be responsible for their fees in addition to missed mortgage payments and the loan amount due.

Not late yet, but about to be?

Homeowners that are not late but foresee missing payments should communicate this to their lenders as soon as possible. In the past, many banks wouldn’t work with homeowners unless they were one or more payments behind. In light of the mortgage crisis, most lenders who would rather take a proactive stance and decrease their loan losses. They are more willing than ever to work with homeowners to avoid being late.

WHY YOU NEED A REALTOR®

A licensed real estate professional provides much more than the service of helping you find your ideal home.

Realtors® are expert negotiators with other agents, and superb navigators around the local neighborhood.

They are members of the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) and must abide by a Code of Ethics and

Standards of Practice enforced by the NAR. A professional Realtor is your best resource when buying your

home.

LET A REALTOR BE YOUR GUIDE

• A knowledgeable Realtor can save you endless amounts of time, money, and frustration.

• A knowledgeable Realtor knows the housing market inside and out and can help you avoid the “wild goose

chase.”

• A knowledgeable Realtor can help you with any home, even if it is listed with another agency, in

foreclosure, or if it is being sold directly by the owner.

• A knowledgeable Realtor knows the best lenders in the area and can help you understand the importance of

being preapproved for a mortgage. He or she can also discuss down payments, closing costs, and monthly

payment options that suit you.

• A knowledgeable Realtor is an excellent source for both general and specific information about the

community such as schools, churches, shopping, and transportation—plus tips on home inspections and

pricing.

• A knowledgeable Realtor is experienced at presenting your offer to the seller and can help you through the

process of negotiating the best price. By bringing objectivity to the buying transaction, he or she can point out

the advantages and the disadvantages of a particular property. And the best thing about your Realtor is that

all this help normally won’t cost you a cent. Generally speaking, the seller pays the commission to the

Realtor.
