NJ Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency Mortgage & Foreclosure Guide
Understand the documents, the parties, and the options for your New Jersey property.
Agency-related mortgage document review
Separate an assistance program from the mortgage account.
If New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency appears in your records, identify whether the document concerns the primary mortgage, an assistance program, a subordinate lien, or another arrangement. The agency name does not by itself establish who services your first mortgage. Fazzio Law can review the agreements and court papers to determine which obligations are involved.

Documents to gather for your NJ Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency matter
Bring the records you have, even if the file is incomplete. Keep originals, dated copies, and proof of delivery. Include every other company name that appears in the account history.
- The program approval, assistance agreement, and any recorded lien
- The primary note and mortgage, current statements, and servicing notices
- Payoff, repayment, recapture, or eligibility correspondence
- Foreclosure papers, other lien notices, and any scheduled sale information
Court papers need their own calendar.
If you have received a summons, complaint, motion, or sheriff’s sale notice, contact counsel promptly. Sending an application, disputing an account, or speaking with a company representative does not automatically extend court deadlines or cancel a sale.
Tell us the property county, when the papers arrived, and whether a sale date has been set. The court docket and actual notices determine the next steps.

Common questions
What should I know about NJ Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency documents?
Is NJHMFA necessarily the company collecting my mortgage payments?
No. Review the current statement and the specific agency documents. A program administrator or lienholder may have a different role from the servicer handling the primary loan.
Does the company name alone establish a foreclosure defense?
No. Defenses and remedies depend on the loan documents, the account history, the evidence, and the applicable law. This page makes no allegation that the named entity mishandled your loan and is not affiliated with that entity.
