There is no up-front cost for us to assess your situation and determine whether you’re a good candidate for a modification. This isn’t to say we work for free, we don’t, but we have never charged an Advanced Fee, we only charge for services that are performed.
I’d love to say it’s 100%, because that would mean I don’t spend time working on files without earning my fee! We are very proud of our success rate, which is over 85%, but it’s due in large part to the amount of diligence we put in on the front end. We have very in depth, very candid conversations with our clients as part of a diagnostic process. I wish I could help everyone I talk with, but the truth is that even when someone is in need, they might not necessarily be a good candidate for a modification. With the amount of time and energy involved in each file, it simply wouldn’t be fair to our other clients to just “throw against the wall...

It varies with the complexity of the file, and the backlog with both the Servicer and Investor. I’ve literally gotten clients terms in a week, and there have been others for whom I’ve battled for over six months. Each client has a unique set of circumstances, and we’ve always felt that their family deserves whatever time it takes to craft the very best modification for their situation.
The result is a payment that fits within the client’s budget so that they can stay in their home. Whether the terms are 2% rate for 40 years, 5% interest only, 4% but deferring 25% of the principle balance, or any of a hundred other formulations, the target is always the same – the lowest possible payment for our client. The recipe itself is determined by the investor and what they want to do with that segment of their portfolio. To read 92101 Urban Living's former blog please visit Home First, Inc - What is...
Modification are done by homeowners all the time. The problem is that the term “modification” can mean anything from changing the interest rate by .5%, adding delinquent payments to your loan balance, or changing your payments by a few dollars. The goal for most homeowners when attempting to modify is to get into a payment that makes financial sense for them to stay in the home long term. When dealing with such a huge financial responisbility, you want to make sure that you are working with someone who will make your first and only attempt at this a succesful one with results that are worth your efforts.

I would walk down the street doing re-con type missions and seeing what other dogs people had. One guy had a great dane, a horse basically, and all I kept visualizing is coming home to my 1 bedroom apartment and seeing the utter destruction afflicted by that enormous dog. I saw a girl with a...
