News Alert – On October 11, 2009, Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law Senate Bill 94 which took effect immediately upon his signature. This law now prohibits any person, including real estate licensees and attorneys from demanding or collecting an advance fee from any consumer for loan modification or mortgage loan forbearance services affecting dwellings with one to four residences. Advance fees inadvertently collected after October 11, 2009 must be refunded. Agreements entered into before October 11, 2009 are not affected and the below rules still apply to those prior agreements. If you already entered into an agreement with a licensed real estate broker for loan modification or other mortgage loan forbearance services prior to October 11, 2009 and that broker had received a “no objection” letter from the California Department of Real Estate, they are permitted to continue providing those services to you according to the terms of the contract. However, they are not permitted to collect any further advance fees from you. The California Department of Real Estate website states, “If you are approached by any person requiring up front fees for these services, do not pay them.”
