Ventura County, The California Association of Realtors launches new mortgage payment protection program…..it’s like unemployment insurance for your home!

Moorpark, The California Association of Realtors launches new mortgage payment protection program…..it’s like unemployment insurance for your home!

More than 5,500 first-time home buyers were approved for the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) Housing Affordability Fund (C.A.R.H.A.F.) Mortgage Protection Program (MPP), which provides mortgage payment assistance in the event of a job layoff.
The program covers both first-time and repeat buyers for 12 months from escrow closing and provides up to six mortgage payments up to $1,000 or $1,500, depending on the coverage level the seller chooses. A seller can choose to pay $200 for six mortgage payments up to $1,000 or $275 for six mortgage payments up to $1,500.
The Home Payment Protection Program is offered by REALTORS® to sellers at the time of listing as an added incentive to prospective buyers. The program is paid for by the seller and is completely optional.
“C.A.R.’s Home Payment Protection Program is a win-win benefit for both buyers and sellers,” said C.A.R. President Beth L. Peerce. “By offering the Home Payment Protection Program as an added incentive to buyers, sellers have an additional way of differentiating their home from others and can sell their home more quickly, while prospective buyers who are feeling uncertain about their employment situation have an added layer of security,” she said.
Leading the way...® in California real estate for more than 100 years, the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (www.car.org) is one of the largest state trade organizations in the United States, with more than 160,000 members dedicated to the advancement of professionalism in real estate. C.A.R. is headquartered in Los Angeles.
The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Housing Affordability Fund (C.A.R.H.A.F.) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to addressing California’s housing crisis. It receives donations primarily from REALTOR® members and REALTOR® associations committed to addressing the housing problem in California. C.A.R.H.A.F. raises and distributes funds and partners with other groups to promote housing and homeownership and address housing opportunities locally and statewide.

Foreclosure Help, Foreclosure Prevention Question: My house is in foreclosure? When will I have to move out?

Ventura County CA - The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from a homeowner facing foreclosure. I'll call him Dave to protect his identity.

(Foreclosure is embarrassing and I don't want to put his name out there.) Dave asked, "I haven't made a house payment in a while. I'm just wondering how much longer it will be before I have to move out?"

Here is the answer to Peter's Question. It all depends on what his plans are and how tight he is on money.

Most people in foreclosure are at a disadvantage because they how the process works. Here is the answer to his question.

It all depends what on the state he is located in and whether or not his lender has started the foreclosure process. So the first thing you should do is find out if the foreclosure has been started.

You can do that by calling the courthouse in your county or town. for example, if you live in Ventura County, then you would call the Ventura County Courthouse. They will direct you to the correct person.

Once you find the correct people, ask them for the foreclosure department. Then, ask the clerk there how you can research if a foreclosure has been filed against you.

They will either direct you to a website, or look up the information on their computer. Here is why it is important to find out if the foreclosure has been started.

We have seen many lenders wait 8 months, 12 months, and sometimes even longer, to start the legal foreclosure process. Many of them are backed up and don't have the staff in place to handle everything.

Once the foreclosure has been started you will want to see how far along it is. Every state handles foreclosure process differently. In addition, they all have different time periods for redemption.

Because of that, I would recommend you contact a competent Stop Foreclosure Institute Specialist in your area. I am the local specialist for Ventura County.

If you are located in Ventura County and want more information on the status of your foreclosure, then send me an e-mail at cjohnson@prucalhomes.com. I will contact you for a free consultation. Or, if you prefer, then you can call me at 805-208-0823.
