Non-Profit, Realtors, 3rd Party Negotiator? Who To Go To For Foreclosure Help?
If your facing foreclosure, who should you turn to?
Most homeowners in 2008 are having a hard time determine who to turn to in there most critical moment when facing foreclosure. Most homeowners turn to someone who they have dealt with in the pass, such as a loan officer, realtor, or even family freind. If your facing foreclosures there are three other options to also consider, such as your lender, a non-profit corporation, and a third party negotiator.
When choosing a realtor you must ask yourself, what does this realtor specialize in?
When choosing someone to help you, if your behind on payments, homeowners should recognize the professionals background. A homeowner counting on a realtor, loan officer and family and friends maybe digging a deeper whole. This is not true for all situations, but ask your self what is there background?
When choosing to work with a non-profit, 3rd party negotiator and the lender, you must also ask yourself the same question, what is there background?
Lenders specialize in lending, financing and protecting there loss’es. When negotiating with the lender, remember that you want to explain to them your “solution” will help save them money in the long run. Always call your lender with the solution to help keep your home. Let them know, your behind on payments, however you can make XXXX amount of payments, or your payments must be lowered to XXXX so you can continue to keep your loan current.
When seeking out a non-profit to assist you, ask what makes there negotiators capable of working on your behalf? You do not want a “volunteer” working to help you keep your home, you want a professional. Don’t be misled, many professionals will volunteer to help homeowners, however most professionals will require a fee. There are many organizations out there that are attempting to help homeowners, however, if they are not able to help you, what are they loosing?
3rd Party companies at times charge you for there services. Many of these companies are looking at this as a great “business” oppurtunity. Others are professionals looking to get into a new business. You want to deal with a 3rd party company who will provide the names of individuals that they have worked with, or able to show you proof that they have stopped auctions, or have created workout plans for there clients.
Also be aware of the company that states they can gurantee to stop your auction, because unfortunately, there can be no gurantees when working with lenders. A reputable 3rd party company, may be the best option for a homeowner facing foreclosure, however, you should make any company verify why they are “qualified” to negotiate with your lender on your behalf?
If your facing foreclosure, be carefull, you should choose a “qualified” individual to help you, regardless if they are representing a non-profit, a licensed realtor, or a 3rd party negotiator.
