New Fannie Mae website, KnowYourOptions.com, expands foreclosure-prevention resources

KnowYourOptions.com has undergone a renovation that allows Fannie Mae to provide more housing information, foreclosure-prevention resources, and tools than in years past.

Changes include:

  • Expanded content. In addition to the foreclosure prevention information, KnowYourOptions.com now includes information on buying and renting a home, and expanded refinancing content. New calculators, tools, and other consumer resources have been added as well.
  • Integrated Loan Lookup functionality. The Fannie Mae Loan Lookup tool has been integrated into KnowYourOptions.com, providing a seamless experience when searching for refinance and mortgage assistance. The integration has made the lookup process easier and now offers customized results. When the Loan Lookup matches a Fannie Mae loan, results will show the borrower the date their loan was acquired by Fannie Mae. Homeowners also will be guided to potential options that may be available for their situation, such as the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) or the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), get recommendations on next steps, and -- if they're a Fannie Mae borrower -- get mortgage assistance by requesting an appointment directly with a Fannie Mae Mortgage Help Center.

I bet that is a depressing sign for those that are actually in foreclosure.

Curtis,

Excellent tip for all those folks who are having issues with their mortgage loans. Good job of getting the word out to the public. Many times there is all this excellent online information available but the folks who need help really do not understand how to get it. Cheers my Aussie friend!!

Hi

I  agree that there may be little which truly helps. My experience is still more than a majority of those in trouble still show a their heads in the sand attitude. All we can do is continue to offer whatever help is available and hopefully a few will take the advise and try to get help. cheers cvc
