Foreclosure Prevention & Counseling Services

What is foreclosure prevention counseling?

Foreclosure counseling is unbiased advice and guidance for homeowners worried about potentially losing their home to foreclosure.

As scary as it may feel to fall behind on your mortgage, there are steps you can take to rehabilitate your loan and keep you in your home.

MMI is proud to offer foreclosure prevention counseling for free to any homeowner concerned about their ability to manage their monthly mortgage payments. Whether you’re already behind or you’ve only just begun to struggle with your monthly mortgage, our experts can help you find the best solution for your unique situation.

Can foreclosure counseling help me avoid foreclosure?

Foreclosure counseling can help any homeowner who’s worried about their mortgage.

Are you:

Worried about making next month’s mortgage payment?
Already one or more months behind on your mortgage payments?
Scared of potentially losing your house for non-payment?

No matter how far along you are in the process, a foreclosure counselor can provide advice and help you avoid foreclosure if possible.

The sooner you act, however, the more foreclosure prevention options you’ll have. If you’re considering reaching out for help but don’t think things are bad enough yet, connect with a counselor immediately. Foreclosure counseling is free and comes with no strings attached.

MMI will walk you through the foreclosure prevention steps and assist you every step of the way.

Foreclosure counseling begins with an in-depth review of your finances, current challenges, and mortgage status. You can begin the process online or over the phone.

After we’ve gathered these critical pieces of information, one of our HUD-certified housing counselors will work with you to create an action plan to meet your goals. We’ll discuss all available options and help you pick the path that makes the most sense for you.

If needed, your counselor will also help connect you with your servicer to begin the rehabilitation process. We’ll also provide follow-up care to make sure your plan is a success.
