The organizations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are working to cope with the loss created with the increase in defaulting mortgages and foreclosure homes in Georgia. They are combining their efforts to stop any other foreclosures from happening with new and better offers for homeowners. Most of those who are in trouble are only prolonging the loss of their homes with these offers. It does however; ease some of the stress on the financial aspects of the company in a short term way without giving solution to all the problems they face.



Both of these housing agencies are sponsored by the government gives Georgia foreclosure homes the guarantee that fees will go up for payment to the loan-servicing companies that work to prevent foreclosures. These servicing companies are the ones who collect the loan payments and work to deal with other administrative duties. Freddie Mac is also offering servicers of these loans more time to workout the loan payments. Each of these companies is focused on helping the homeowners stay where they are.

In particular places that are very fast with foreclosure proceedings, Freddie Mac is extending the time up to 300 days from the date the payment was due before they will be filing foreclosure. This new incentive is being introduced in other states as well as Georgia. The states that offer this 300 day policy themselves are exempt from using what Freddie Mac is offering. This may work to give homeowners more time to improve their situation but it can also be bad for the foundation itself when foreclosure proceedings are done and the mounting payments are felt.
