Foreclosure Alternatives in New York

At Snider Law PLLC, foreclosure defense is not about delay but solutions. We work with property owners to identify practical, legally sound options for saving their homes or minimizing financial loss. Several foreclosure alternatives may be available depending on your goals, circumstances, and lender behavior.

Loan Modification

One of the most common and effective strategies in foreclosure defense is pursuing a loan modification. This process involves negotiating new terms with your lender to make your mortgage more affordable. 

A successful loan modification can reduce your interest rate, extend the term of your loan, or even lower your monthly payments. Some lenders may also be willing to add missed payments to the back of the loan or re-amortize the balance. We assist with gathering documentation, preparing hardship letters, and communicating with lenders to give you the best possible chance of approval.

Loan modification is a viable option for homeowners with steady incomes who have fallen behind due to temporary hardship. Our firm’s experience in real estate and litigation allows us to anticipate lender objections and respond effectively throughout the process.

Short Sales

A short sale may be a better solution when keeping the home is no longer possible or desirable. In a short sale, the lender agrees to let the homeowner sell the property for less than the amount owed on the mortgage, releasing them from further liability. This can be a strategic alternative to foreclosure, allowing you to exit the home with fewer long-term credit consequences and potentially avoid a deficiency judgment.

Short sales are complex and require the lender’s cooperation. We guide you through negotiating with the lender, preparing necessary documentation, working with realtors, and protecting your interests.

Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure

Another potential option is a deed in lieu of foreclosure, where you voluntarily transfer ownership of the property back to the lender in exchange for release from the mortgage obligation. This route may be considered when a short sale is not feasible and foreclosure is imminent. We carefully review the proposed agreement to help you avoid future liability and protect your rights.

Litigation & Negotiation

In addition to non-judicial strategies, we aggressively defend homeowners in foreclosure litigation. We examine every detail of the mortgage documents, foreclosure filings, and lender behavior to identify legal defenses, procedural violations, or opportunities for resolution.

We work to help you stay in control of your future, whether that means staying in your home or exiting it on favorable terms. At Snider Law PLLC, we combine legal experience with personalized strategy to help you make informed and empowered decisions.
