Freddie Mac is functioning as one of the most influential organizations representing the buyers of house mortgages. This organization was founded in 1970 by US government in order to support the rental housing. Nowadays Freddie Mac operates normally on the secondary mortgage markets as a GSE (government sponsored enterprise).

Freddie Mac turns mortgages into its own foreclosure: it gets the mortgages, later Freddie Mac pools them together and at the end it issues debt securities.

The Congress created Freddie Mac in order to reach certain goals, such as:

- to influence the money supply in order to maintain the ability of financial bodies to grant credits;
- to control the prices on real estate markets;
- to preserve stable situation on foreclosure market.

To reach the aims mentioned company deals with Freddie Mac REO properties. It is important to underline that Freddie Mac doesnt keep direct contact with its clients but buys all mortgages on secondary market.

- financing multifamily debts;
- making investments, dealing with Freddie Mac REO homes and securitizing of mortgages.

As a result Freddie Mac became the biggest agency operating on the mortgage markets in the United States of America.
