Foreclosure Prevention Workshop offers new options
Florida Foreclosure Defense Attorney William Galarza will reveal new legal defenses that gives homeowners staying power at the SAVE YOUR HOME: Foreclosure Prevention Workshop at The Salvation Army at 10291 McGregor Blvd. on Sept. 22 from 7 to 9 p.m.
“The first step to preventing your foreclosure is becoming informed about your legal rights,” says Galarza. South Florida homeowners can learn how to protect against foreclosure by attending a free legal workshop designed to teach the very latest strategies and possible solutions for saving their homes. The event is sponsored by AmStar Community Foundation.
Why should Florida residents attend this foreclosure prevention workshop?
William Galarza will expose homeowners to lender violations commonly found in eight out of 10 reviewed loan documents and explain how each violation may be actionable in a court of law. “For many homeowners, taking early action could allow them to stay in their home,” said Galarza.
During the workshop, Galarza will provide free legal advice about homeowners’ rights and the most recent discoveries in Florida foreclosure defense law. In addition, homeowners will be able to meet with counselors from non-profit agencies including Goodwill Industries, Salvation Army and Consumer Credit Counseling Services who can help access their needs and provide information about relief services. Sponsors are targeting borrowers throughout Lee and Collier Counties. The event is free and information will be provided in both English and Spanish languages to include the growing concerns of South Florida’s Hispanic communities.
Topics covered in the free foreclosure prevention workshop include:
Do you know the potential solutions that exist for homeowners facing foreclosure?
Do you know the pros and cons of loan modifications?
Can the government help you?
Were you a victim of predatory lending or other violations?
Do you know the federal regulations that were created to protect homeowners?
What is the foreclosure process and how much time do you have?
Do you know the steps you can take to protect your home at every stage of the foreclosure process?
“More and more Florida residents are fighting their foreclosure and the progress has been very promising,” said Galarza. “If we can educate homeowners and empower them with real solutions, we can help keep more Florida residents here in Florida.”
