Obama Urges Lenders to Move it on Loan Modifications

Troubled homeowners waiting on loan modifications are getting help from the Obama administration.  25 lenders who signed up for the Making Home Affordable program were urged to move faster to help homeowners.

According to the California Association of REALTORS®, the letter sent to the chief executives of these 25 institutions said: “We are asking that all servicers expand servicing capacity and improve the execution quality of loan modifications in order to help the sizable number of homeowners at risk of foreclosure and eligible for the program.”

By August 4, the Obama adminstation wil be issuing monthly reports on lenders’ performance including information on how many loan modifications have been implemented.
