Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if I am having trouble making my monthly mortgage payment?

As your true local lender, we are committed to each and every one of our customers—and the community as a whole—as neighbors. We believe any hardship is shared by us all. Greater Nevada Mortgage may be able to help.  Please complete an assistance package under the “Get Started” tab or call us at 775-888-4620 and ask to speak with a Mortgage Servicing Specialist.

We understand that financial circumstances can change. And we realize that you may find yourself unable to make the mortgage payment.  We are here to help you through this time. Contact us at 775-888-4620 or complete the online mortgage assistance package under the “Get Started” tab. We have a variety of assistance programs that may be available to you. 
 

How long does it take to find out if I am eligible for mortgage assistance options?

Once we have all the necessary forms and documents to evaluate your application, we will contact you within 30 days with all the options you’re eligible for. You’ll receive a letter identifying the options that can help you avoid foreclosure. Be sure to review each option you are eligible for, including the benefits and your next steps, to accept the one that is right for you.

If I am eligible for a mortgage modification, what happens next?

If you’re eligible, we’ll offer you a trial period payment plan. This is normally for a 3–4 month period. Once you’ve successfully completed this trial period payment plan, we will re evaluate your application for a permanent mortgage modification.
 

If I receive a mortgage modification, will the credit reporting for my mortgage be affected?

During a temporary trial period, we will continue to report your loan payment status to the major credit reporting agencies. If your loan is delinquent when you enter the plan, we will continue to report your loan as delinquent, paying under a partial payment agreement, even if you’re making your trial payments on time. If your loan is current when you begin the trial period plan, and you make each trial period payment on time, we’ll report your loan as up to date, paying under a partial payment agreement. Once the modification is complete, we’ll report the modification to the credit agencies as modified. Completing a modification will not change previous adverse reporting. The impact of a permanent modification on a credit score depends on the borrower’s entire credit profile. Click here for more information about your credit score.
