Angela Barker Speaks Out on Real Estate

July 19, 2008 By

Borrowers Still Slow to Get Help

A recent article in The New York Times states that despite the vast publicity about ways to avoid foreclosure, most borrowers remain unaware that their lenders are willing to help them.

Indeed, the article cites a recent report released by Freddie Mac, one of the two government-sponsored businesses that acquired mortgages from lenders and sell them to investors, which states that 57 percent of delinquent borrowers did not know about the various options lenders offer to delinquent borrowers.

In this slow real estate market it is to no one’s advantage to foreclose on a home. Moreover, many lawyers’ associations have formed task forces to assist buyers in saving their homes. If you are falling behind on your mortgage payments, contact your lender. In addition, contact your local lawyers’ bar association and ask them for a referral to a foreclosure prevention task force in your area.
