Mortgage Help for Homeowners

I have the best State Association.  The California Association of Realtors is always helping their members in every way. Everyday I receive helpful information.  Not only is the information helpful to me but my association gives us information to pass on to the consumer and our clients. The information below is a help to all, you, me and especially the homeowner. 

Mortgage Workout Program

The following information is intended for REALTORS® and homeowners seeking information on existing mortgage workout programs.  In general, the loan modification programs on the chart (see link below) and consumer information sheets (see links below) are intended for primary residences only.

For an informational chart on existing mortgage workout programs, click here. The chart is a compilation of programs offered by the larger lenders and government entities. If a specific lender or loan servicer is not on the chart, homeowners may wish to contact the lender or loan servicer to determine if a workout program is available.

Consumer information sheets containing detailed information on specific programs I as a REALTOR® can share with you, please click on the appropriate link below.

Mortgage loan modifications typically are handled on a case-by-case basis. Homeowners having difficulty meeting their mortgage obligation or interested in finding out more about a loan modification program should start by contacting their lender. Prior to calling a lender or loan servicer, homeowners should have the following information available:

^.  Loan number

^.  Income information and documentation

^.  Most recent mortgage statement

^.  Bank statements

^.  Letter demonstrating financial hardship

Homeowners may go direct to work with a U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-approved counselor.  For a list of HUD-approved counselors in California, visit the HUD Web site at http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hcc/hcs.cfm?webListAction=search&searchstate=CA .
