What is loss mitigation?

Loss mitigation refers to the process used by lenders to help borrowers avoid foreclosure by finding solutions to make mortgage payments more manageable. This can include options such as loan modification, repayment plans, forbearance, or short sales. The goal of loss mitigation is to minimize financial losses for both the lender and the borrower while keeping the homeowner in their property whenever possible. Lenders typically have dedicated loss mitigation departments that work directly with borrowers to assess their financial situation and recommend suitable options.
