How long are Modifications Taking

Monday, June 8th, 2009

I have completed over 2 thousand loan modifications myself and I can tell you from experience that if you do your own modification it will take one quarter of the time verses paying someone to do it.  Let me give you an example.  I have a girl that works in our office.  She knows well the process for doing a loan modification and is the co-author of our product.  She herself was in need of a loan modification and submitted to her lender a modification package using the steps in ModificationProfessor.  She got a loan modification in one week.  This is NOT typical for someone who pays an attorney or real estate professional.  How do I know that?  Because I am a real estate professional with over 15 years expierence and we are averaging 90 to 120 days just to get a modification done at all.   From every indication I have seen, the lenders want to deal with the clients and not deal through a third party.

Market Tempature

Monday, June 8th, 2009

One question I get a lot pertains to what is going on in the market at any given time.  Recently I was contacted by Jillian who used ModificationProfessor to reduce her 2nd mortgage.  In just two weeks she was able to negotiate down her $100,000 2nd mortgage to $6,500.  That sounds amazing I agree.  The reality is that 2nd lien positions have little leverage when it comes to foreclosures.  Therefore they are willing to settle for much less.
