What is a loan Modification?
A loan modification is the process through which your mortgage company agrees to alter the structure of your loan many times from a adjustable rate to a lower fixed rate and/or extend the term of your loan for the purpose of reducing your monthly payment. They do this as an alternative to the expensive and time consuming process of foreclosure. Each mortgage company has their own set of processes through which they decide whether or not to accept a loan modification, and while there are many similarities, each has its own requirements for approval. As a third party mediator, we have a distinct advantage in negotiating with your mortgage company.
