What is a mortgage default?

A mortgage is considered to be in default when one or more monthly payments have been missed.


What solutions are available if I am in default on my mortgage payments?


You may qualify for a broad range of help. Some solutions are:

  • Short Sale/Payoff
  • Forbearance Agreement
  • Loan Modification
  • Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure


What is a Short Sale/Payoff?


Short Sales occur when borrowers sell their properties for amounts that are less than the amounts owed to the lender.

How do I qualify for assistance?


Borrowers need to prove that they are experiencing a substantial financial hardship.

What is a "Hardship"?


A hardship is a situation that has a life changing effect for the borrower that results in an in-ability to pay the mortgage debt in either, short or long term. Some examples are:

  • Separation or Divorce
  • Medical Bills
  • Inability to work due to health reasons
  • Death of Spouse
  • Job Relocation
  • Reduced Income or Unemployment
  • Business Failure

How do I apply for help?

How do I qualify for a Short Sale?

A borrower must prove that a hardship exists. The lender must be willing to accept the short sale proceeds as full settlement of the debt.

What is required from the property owner?

The property owner must:

  • Sign a listing agreement with a Realtor
  • List the property for sale
  • Cooperate with access, showings, offers and with the Realtor
  • Vacate the home following close of title
  • Agree not to finance or otherwise encumber the property
  • Be responsible to maintain the home in "show" condition
  • Be responsible for minor repairs to the home
  • Be a responsible homeowner until close of title and vacancy of home.
