Mortgage Modification

Mortgage Modification

Making Your Mortgage Affordable

If you cannot afford your current mortgage payment, a mortgage modification is a process that may work for you. In a mortgage modification, you negotiate with your lender to obtain a more beneficial loan. You may be able to change your loan's terms, interest rate, or monthly payment.

If you are having difficulty paying your mortgage, I recommend that you contact me at Robert J. Warren, P.A., Attorney at Law; I can assist you in better understanding the mortgage modification process and help determine if it is a viable option for you.

As a Gainesville bankruptcy attorney who has helped thousands of individuals with debt relief, bankruptcy, and other financial matters in the North Florida area, I am experienced with loan documentation and modification.

Prevent Foreclosure with a Modification Mediation in Bankruptcy

Outside of bankruptcy, less than four percent of borrowers have been successful in having their loans modified. Fortunately, the bankruptcy courts of North Florida have adopted a new program called Mortgage Modification Mediation. This new method of approaching the modification process has an average success rate of around seventy five percent! 

Modification in bankruptcy works better because the court is supervising the process and, rather than deal with the usual inefficient bureaucracy of the banking industry, the bank is compelled to cooperate according to a schedule set by the court and deal in good faith knowing that the court will be reviewing their actions and results.

The goal of the loan modification process is to negotiate a more affordable payment for you. This may be achievable through an interest rate reduction, which may be established as temporary or permanent, or by extending the payback term in some cases to as much as 40 years. Other options may include deferring principal payments, generally at zero interest. While it is rare, in some cases the lender may agree to a principal reduction in cases where your home has lost value due to a declining real estate market or other factors.

    “Robert Warren is an excellent Real Estate attorney.”
    Robert Warren is an excellent Real Estate attorney. He and his team are always on the ball, communicate between the seller, buyer, and mortgage company very well, and they are timely in their work. I have sold a house and refinanced another house both with Robert and I can't say enough good things about him and his office. He's thorough and will make sure that nothing is 'fishy' in the mortgage paperwork. He will also hammer the mortgage company to get things right. His office also does title work so I highly recommend using Robert's office as the title company and the closing agent on a mortgage. Very reasonably priced and excellent at their job. I will go to them, and no one else, for as long as he's in business. Thanks again Robert and crew!
