Supreme Court to Consider Amendments to Foreclosure Mediation Rules (See Latest News for More Details)
Foreclosure Mediation is an alternative method to help parties resolve disputes by agreement with the help of trained mediators. Mediating a foreclosure action has its advantages. It is fast, inexpensive, and provides a flexibility that more formal processes do not offer. The program does not cost homeowners thousands of dollars to partiicipate. In fact, homeowners pay only a $200 mediation fee.
Under Nevada law, the State of Nevada Foreclosure Mediation Program (FMP) is open to homeowners of owner-occupied houses who receive a foreclosure notice, formally titled Notice of Default (or Breach) and Election to Sell. Homeowners of owner-occupied houses have 30 days after being served with a foreclosure notice to elect to participate in mediation.
