REPRESENTING INDIVIDUALS IN FORECLOSURE
The most important question is whether the property owner wants to stay or go? If a property owner wishes to keep your home or mortgaged commercial building, we can help you analyze if it is feasible and advise you on how to make it happen.
On behalf of owners, we can explore:
- A loan workout or loan modification program (mortgage refinancing)
- Refinancing with a new lender
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which lets you keep the home and pay mortgage arrears over time
- A short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure, enabling you to escape from a mortgage you can't sustain
- Foreclosure defenses
