Blog: Save Your Home Mortgage Workshops Announced

By Jim Donovan:   Homeowners who have missed mortgage payments, face foreclosure, or have questions about their mortgage will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with some of the nation's largest mortgage lenders next week.

FREE housing workshops are scheduled at a number of locations in our area and I've posted information about them below.  Please SHARE THIS INFORMATION with any of your family or friends that you think may be able to benefit by attending.

The first events have been scheduled for Tuesday, September 17 and Wednesday, September 18 and are being promoted by Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden's office.

At each workshop, mortgage servicers, state employees, and HUD-certified housing counselors will discuss mortgage modifications, government homeowner programs, and foreclosure scams.  No reservations are needed.  The workshops will take place as follows:
