Understand Your Options to Prevent Foreclosure in Maryland

Good News! Mortgage Help is Available

Connect with one of our agents today to understand your case and your options. Time is of essence.

When you contact our HUD-certified counselors, we help you explore real solutions that fit your unique situation:

Forbearance Plans: Temporarily pause or reduce your mortgage payments while you regain stability.

Loan Modifications: Adjust the terms of your loan to make payments more affordable long-term.

Payment Deferral: Move missed payments to the end of your loan term to give you time to recover financially.

Repayment Plans: Catch up on missed payments over time without having to pay everything at once.

Refinancing Support: We help determine if you qualify for lower interest rates or better terms.

When Keeping Your Home Isn’t an Option

If staying in your home isn’t possible, we’ll walk you through alternatives to foreclosure, like:

• Selling your home before foreclosure damages your credit.

• Considering a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, depending on your lender’s terms.

These options are better than letting your home go into foreclosure—and we’ll make sure you understand every step.

Watch Out for Foreclosure Scams

Maryland homeowners are frequently targeted by scam companies offering quick fixes or guaranteed results. Never pay upfront fees or stop talking to your mortgage company based on advice from anyone other than a HUD-certified housing counselor.
