ANNOUNCER:

A NEW REPORT SHOWS FORECLOSURE PREVENTION EFFORTS CONTINUE TO HELP DELINQUENT HOMEOWNERS STAY IN THEIR HOMES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. MORTGAGE INSURER GENWORTH FINANCIAL SAVED NEARLY 18-THOUSAND HOUSEHOLDS FROM FORECLOSURE IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS FOR A TOTAL OF MORE THAN 2-POINT-3 BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF MORTGAGES SAVED NATIONWIDE. THE GOOD NEWS?  EIGHT OUT OF 10 OF THESE HOMEOWNERS WERE ABLE TO KEEP THEIR HOMES.  GENWORTH VICE PRESIDENT ALAN GOLDBERG LEADS THE COMPANY’S HOMEOWNER ASSISTANCE DIVISION.

ALAN GOLDBERG, VICE PRESIDENT, GENWORTH FINANCIAL:

“Foreclosures are devastating to both homeowners and the communities in which they live.  People pursuing the dream of homeownership couldn’t anticipate a national economic recession, or the individual financial hardships they could face.  What’s important now, however, is how the entire mortgage lending industry is responding, increasing efforts to help the homebuyers remain homeowners.  It’s great that we could help so many delinquent households nationwide resolve their mortgage problems.”
