Mortgage brokers
They can help you by refinancing your property. However, these loans may have higher interest rates and closing costs than what you payed at the bank. Some may even charge you more to see how much you are willing to pay and take advantage of it. Not all brokers will do this to you. Shop around and ask family and friends for a referral if you decide to use a broker.
Attorneys
This is your last resort. Most attorneys don’t really care about the situation you’re in or give you the attention you need.
Mortgage negotiators/Mortgage “Mod gods”
They negotiate repayment schemes with mortgage lenders. You can negotiate with the bank but in case it fails you can ask the help of a professional to get the plan approved. Some banks may impose a much more demanding plan and these professionals can get you a more favorable agreement.
