Foreclosures cause a devastating financial and psychological impact on families, safety, and blighting problems for neighborhoods. Every foreclosure has an impact on the surrounding community, the City, and the lender (or servicer) who owns the loan. Recent statistics show that the Antelope Valley may see a significant rise in foreclosures in the near future.

The last thing any homeowner wants to think about is the possibility of their lender foreclosing on their family home. No one expects to lose their home to foreclosure, understanding the process and your options may better prepare you to recognize potential problems before it’s too late.
