The Fields Team
I have been with The Fields Team for over 3 years. I enjoy traveling, hot yoga, roller skating, the great outdoors, good music, and people. I’ve been married for 16 years and have a teenage son. Life is good and I’m grateful for the ways it expands me each and every day.
I’m a Mortgage Loan Consultant. I’ve been originating home loans for 17 years and have a true passion for helping my clients. I love helping families and building last relationships! I’ve been married to my husband Brady for 21 years and I have two awesome kids, Finley 13 and Gracie 10. I love life itself but, my favorite ways to spend my time are going to Bear Lake, attending concerts and sporting events, and going to Orange Theory. I also love to travel and eat delicious food! Our family has a tradition to spend New Year Eve at a Disney Park and this holiday it will be our 11 year in a row. I have a true love of life! I live it to the fullest with a great attitude and positivity. I feel like we all have a choice so mine is to be happy and bring everyone with me!

Exploring Your Options When You Can’t Make Your Mortgage Payment
We understand that life can throw unexpected challenges your way, making it difficult to meet your monthly mortgage obligations. Whether you’re facing a temporary financial setback or a more long-term issue, it’s crucial to be informed about your options when you find yourself unable to make your mortgage payment in the state of Utah. Let’s explore several avenues you can pursue to navigate this challenging situation.
1. Contact Your Lender Early: The first step when you anticipate trouble making your mortgage payment is to contact your lender immediately. Open communication is key, and many lenders in Utah are willing to work with homeowners facing financial difficulties. Discuss your situation honestly and ask about possible solutions or temporary relief options they can offer.
2. Loan Modification: Utah homeowners may be eligible for loan modification programs. This involves restructuring your loan to make your monthly payments more affordable. These modifications could include lower interest rates, extended loan terms, or even a temporary forbearance.
3. Forbearance Agreement: In cases of temporary financial hardship such as job loss or medical emergencies, a forbearance agreement can provide some relief. This arrangement allows you to temporarily pause or reduce your mortgage payments while you get back on your feet.
4. Refinancing: If you have built up some equity in your home, refinancing your mortgage might be an option. Lower interest rates or a longer loan term can help lower your monthly payments. Consult with a mortgage professional to explore this possibility.
5. Sell Your Home: In some situations, selling your home may be the best option to avoid foreclosure. Utah’s strong real estate market can be an advantage, as it may allow you to sell your home quickly and potentially recoup some equity.
6. Short Sale: If your home’s value has declined, and you owe more on your mortgage than it’s worth, a short sale may be considered. In a short sale, the lender agrees to accept less than the full mortgage amount as payment.
7. Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure: Another option to avoid foreclosure is a deed in lieu of foreclosure. This involves voluntarily transferring the property’s ownership to the lender in exchange for forgiving the remaining mortgage debt.
8. Seek Legal and Financial Counseling: Consulting with a real estate attorney or financial counselor specializing in mortgage issues can provide valuable guidance. They can help you navigate the legal aspects and explore all available options.
Conclusion: Facing the inability to make your mortgage payment is a challenging situation, but it’s crucial to act proactively and explore the various options available in the state of Utah. Remember, each situation is unique, so what works best for you will depend on your specific circumstances. Open communication with your lender and seeking professional guidance can help you make informed decisions and ultimately find a solution that suits your needs and helps you regain financial stability.
