A Mortgage/Loan Modification is where your existing lender agrees, through a series of negotiations and paperwork, to change the terms of your loan.  A Mortgage Modification may:

  1. bring you current on your mortgage
  2. reduce your interest rate
  3. reduce the amount of your mortgage debt
  4. extend the term/period you have the repay the loan; and/or
  5. reduce your mortgage payment.

In short, a Loan Modification helps you keep your home.
