Freddie Mac represents one of the biggest organisations buying the home mortgages. This company was established in 1970 by Congress for supporting the rental housing. Currently Freddie Mac works as a rule on the secondary foreclosure markets in the form of GSE (government sponsored enterprise).

Freddie Mac turns mortgages into its own foreclosure: it gets the mortgages, as a second step Freddie Mac unite them together to create one pool and at the end it issues debt securities.

Freddie Mac was established to solve several particular problems, such as:

- to control the money supply in order to provide the ability of financial organisations to provide credits;
- to control the prices on real estate markets;
- to keep stability on housing market.

In order to achieve the goals mentioned this organisation works with Freddie Mac REO homes. It is important to underline that Freddie Mac doesnt keep direct contact with its clients but gets all mortgages on secondary market.

Freddie Mac reached success in three main directions:

- providing a single family debt guarantees;
- providing means for multifamily credits;
- making investments, dealing with Freddie Mac foreclosure and securitizing of mortgages.

Nowadays Freddie Mac became the leading agency operating on the foreclosure markets in the US.
