REV: 06-11-25 LF <br />4. Approval: Once a loan modification has been approved, Consultant shall prepare and <br />forward the required documents to the borrower for signature and recording, unless <br />the City retains these functions. If the Client retains approval authority, the Client <br />agrees to provide a response as to the status of the loan modification approval, and <br />whenever possible, return the decisioned application within 5 business days of receipt. <br />If no response has been received in 5 days, the modification will be denied. The City <br />agrees to maintain regular communication with Consultant in cases where loan <br />modification approvals take longer than 5 business days to approve. Consultant <br />understands that loan modifications that require City Council approval may take up to <br />60 days to approve. If no response has been received in 5 days, the modification will <br />be denied. After the documents have been executed, originals will be retained by the <br />City and copies will be promptly sent to Consultant along with funds required for <br />escrow, legal fees, etc. <br />After receipt of executed modification documents and required funds, Consultant will <br />make the appropriate modifications to the loan, send the borrower new payment <br />coupons or billing statements, and electronically notate the account. Respective <br />modification documentation will be retained in the electronic loan file. <br />Loan Foreclosure <br />The mortgage transaction and collections efforts are predicated on the assumption that <br />the borrower is motivated and able to meet the mortgage obligation. A decision to <br />foreclose is based on an analysis of an individual loan. Consultant will look at the <br />borrower with particular emphasis on basic motivation, ability to pay, and attitude or level <br />of cooperation. If a borrower remains delinquent and has been uncooperative, non- <br />responsive, or unwilling to cure the existing default by reasonable means, Consultant will <br />recommend foreclosure. <br />This step is generally not taken until a loan becomes over 120 days delinquent. Upon <br />the City’s approval, and in accordance with respective local, state and federal statutes, <br />Consultant will send the borrower a notice of intent to foreclose/demand letter, with a copy <br />to the City. If no response is received within 30 days, Consultant will advise the City of <br />the non-response and will proceed to foreclosure. Consultant will properly document the <br />steps taken to affect a cure. <br />If the loan is not reinstated (brought current) or paid off, Consultant will continue <br />foreclosure up to and including the sale of the property. If the City desires Consultant to <br />perform property management, a third-party property management vendor will be <br />engaged. Consultant can identify, track and pay bills related to property preservation, the <br />costs of which remain the responsibility of the City. Upon sale of the property, Consultant <br />will return the proceeds of the sale to the City less foreclosure fees and previously un- <br />reimbursed costs incurred. <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.144/AmeriNational Community Services, LLC d/b/a AmeriNat (Page 21 of 31)
