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.
