About MortgageKeeper

From employment help and financial counseling to assistance gaining access to disability payments or home repair subsidies, there are hundreds of programs across the county designed to help people in crisis. Typically mortgage servicing professionals and counselors do not have information on these programs. Yet, if accessed appropriately, these services have the potential to help borrowers avoid default or become current on the loan. Imagine if you could have an expert in each city where you had a client in default. MortgageKeeper.org can play that role.

Rather than a static list compiled from local phone directories, the database is verified and updated by selected experts in local communities on a regular basis.
