The recent extended credit crisis has caused a record number of home foreclosures. While tragic for homeowners, this also presents considerable difficulties for banks and credit unions. Home foreclosures often require banks to take possession and forcing them to sell the properties at a loss. The key to minimizing these risks is to take steps internally to help prevent at least some foreclosures.
The Knowledge Congress has assembled a group of key thought leaders in this area who will help your institution understand how to take preventive measures in this area. The group will present their findings in an upcoming webinar.
