Our Process
Loan Modification Step by Step Process
- Free Consultation. We talk with you to assess the likelihood of a Loan Modification.
- Data Gathering & Analysis. We gather your financial and mortgage information to further determine how best to approach the lender on your behalf.
- Engagement. If we both agree to move forward, you sign paperwork giving us authorization to represent you.
- Contact. We contact your lender to open a Loan Modification case. This helps prolong any foreclosure proceedings and is the first step toward engaging the lender.
- Transfer of Information. We package the information you supplied and get it into your lenders hands.
- Review. We walk your lender through the carefully crafted paperwork to ensure understanding and a timely response.
- Demonstrate. At this point, we show the lender why it is in their best interest to modify the loan rather than foreclose.
- Negotiation. Once your lender is on the same page as us, we make a specific request for modification. This request is based on information provided by you, our extensive knowledge of the industry and future affordability.
- Contact Campaign. Lenders are notorious for slow turnaround and avoiding calls. While respecting the complexity of the process, we begin a contacting campaign that may include contacting higher management. This results in faster turnaround.
- Additional Data. The lender invariably requests additional information. Utilizing our experience, we provide information that is relevant and suited to depict a picture that is best for you.
- First Offer. The Lender comes to the table with an initial offer. Using past experience, we bring forward a counter offer which is tailored to your needs but attractive to lenders.
- On-going negotiations. This process may go on for days, or weeks. We consult with you each step of the way.
- Agreement. The lender has its legal counsel draft documents which reflect the on-going negotiations.
- Review. Upon receiving the Modification documents, we review and modify the terms as needed.
- Signing. Once we have agreed on the terms as written in the documents, we sign the documents.
- Done deal. The homeowner gets to keep his / her home and has the new lower monthly payments and possibly a smaller loan than what they had before.
