Mediator

How Florida Mortgage Mediation Works

In 2012, the United States had reached the mid-point of a highly-devastating foreclosure crisis; over 10M homes were estimated to be lost and Florida was one of the hardest-hit states. Last year, the Sunshine State led the country in foreclosure activity and topped the rankings (with its foreclosure rate of 1 in 33 homes), even as lenders as well as judges moved in a very aggressive manner to reduce the massive backlog of foreclosure cases.

Though new filings are now on the downtrend, the judiciary is still wading through the flood of older filings. In Broward County alone the properties that are scheduled for auction has jumped by 72% compared to the 2012 figures. The fact is that millions of homeowners have been displaced due to foreclosures.  But there is an inexpensive solution for this issue.

The Effective Tool

It has been proved that the states which have begun adopting very strong foreclosure mediation programs can go a long way in keeping the paying borrowers in their homes for the long-term. Investors and tax-payers are also benefited as mediation saves millions of dollars for them. Florida Mortgage Mediation is an effective and inexpensive tool and a non-binding process where the lender and the borrower, mutually attempt to find an acceptable resolution to their specific dispute.
