Fighting Foreclosures
Loan modifications and short sales are not the only strategies to stop foreclosure in Florida. Whether your goal is to save your home or protect your credit your best strategy is to negotiate from a position of strength.
The Florida Attorney General's Office recently exposed that Bank attorneys used thousands of fake "Robo-Signer" documents to force through foreclosures. Lenders needed these fake documents to cover-up serious problems with how they sold and resold millions of mortgages to post record profits. The truth is starting to come out that Banks failed to properly document a huge percentage of loans during the real estate boom. Their errors create powerful tactical advantages for homeowners.
Bruce Jacobs and Associates fight shoulder to shoulder with a national movement of foreclosure defense attorneys. The firm trains on cutting edge legal strategies from all over Florida and the United States in real time. The real fight is to stop foreclosure by holding lenders to their own complex transactions.
Bruce Jacobs and Associates doesn't ask for loan modifications through the loss mitigation nightmare that frustrates thousands of homeowners. This is often a futile effort with the Bank's lost paperwork and false promises. Instead, the firm launches a comprehensive counter-attack to expose weaknesses in the Lender's ability to foreclose.
In Florida, the real danger in foreclosure is not just losing your home, but getting hit with a judgment on the way out. Lenders may obtain a "deficiency judgment" for the balance of what you owe after selling your house at the foreclosure sale. Fortunately, Florida law allows Bruce Jacobs and Associates to demand documents and ask the Lender tough questions before they can sell your home.
For many, fighting back is the best hope to save a property from foreclosure. Problematic foreclosures have the best chance of a meaningful loan modification with a principal balance reduction. For others hoping to get out from under an underwater property, fighting back is the best protection against being forced to pay the unpaid principal balance even after a shortsale or walking away.
Before opening the firm, Bruce Jacobs spent years representing banks in foreclosure actions in Miami and throughout Florida. Our law office proudly uses that knowledge and experience to empower homeowners and real estate investors. We constantly train on innovative legal strategies to provide insight and information for the client to make the best strategic decisions to deal with distressed properties.
