Avoiding Home Foreclosure

Helping people in all stages of mortgage delinquency find their best solution.

one setback shouldn't cost you your home

After all the time, money, sweat, and love you've put into your home, the last thing you want is to see your home taken away from you. Unfortunately, all too often, we ignore the calls and the letters and stop trying to save our home because it doesn't feel like there's anything we can do. 

But there's a lot you can do, and you may have more options available than you may realize. 

The Path to Avoiding Foreclosure

MMI offers free foreclosure counseling to any homeowner concerned about the status of their mortgage. We'll help you understand your options and the potential outcome of those options.  

The sooner you act, the more options you have

The further you fall into delinquency, the fewer options you have. That's why it's so important to act quickly.

If you're concerned about your home - even if you haven't missed a single payment - it's your worth your time to speak with a trained, impartial counselor. And because counseling is free and confidential, there's no reason not to give us a call as soon as you start to worry. Help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week!
