IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT BUYING A HOME THIS IS A SPECIAL TIME
You have an opportunity to buy a home and pay the mortgage off in an astonishingly short time. For example, a $739.69 principal and interest payment per month will pay off a $100,000 mortgage in 15 years at 4% interest. $739.69 is less than rent in most of the valley. Think about that, in 15 years no more house payments. The money you would have been spending could go towards building an early retirement, kids education, or vacations. We are living through very stressful times in the housing market. We have had them before and they will come again. It’s funny how all that stress goes away when your house is paid off.
We are a little different than most Realtors. We know from experience that a home is about more than a monthly mortgage payment, it's about utility bills, taxes, and regular and unexpected maintenance costs. We also know that your life is about more than just housing. The cost of your home has to fit in with all of your financial goals. We are not looking to sell your the most expensive home you qualify for, our job is to help you find a home that fits your Life.
There is tremendous opportunity because the Real Estate market is a troubled landscape filled with words and processes most people hadn’t heard just a short time ago: Foreclosures – Short Sales – Trustee Sales - Auctions – Negotiators – GSE’s – HAMP/HAFA - NSP. Financing options are as complicated as ever. Take advantage of our experience to help you navigate your way to a new home. If you would like to explore what we can do for you give us a call or drop us an email.
IF YOU HAVE PROPERTY TO SELL
Some brokers specialize in specific kinds of listings - foreclosures, short sales, traditional sales. Our specialty is selling. It doesn’t matter the particular circumstances of the sale, we sell houses. On the front end we will give you an honest opinion of value and estimated time lines. On the back end, regardless of circumstances, there are certain things we always do. Put a sign in the yard with our phone number, provide a second phone number so potential buyers can get recorded information regardless of the time of day, put the property in the MLS, make sure the property appears on all the major internet sites, hold open houses, take lots of pictures, provide a video tour, and provide a property specific web site.
If you’re ready to sell, or are thinking about it and want some analysis, give us a call.
LOOKING TO BUILD A PORTFOLIO OF RENTALS, OR INTERESTED IN FIX AND FLIP?
Alright, I admit it, we are stats geeks. We provide hundreds of Broker Price Opinions to many different banks and servicers. We are constantly looking at neighborhoods, subdivisions, trends, pending foreclosure stats, percentage of foreclosures vs shorts vs traditional, price differentials between REO’s, Shorts, and traditional etc, etc, etc. You get the idea. If you’ve been at this for a while, or are just starting out, you know an investor without good data is just poking in the dark. We will help you find your investment opportunities, figure out what they are worth (before and after – as is or repaired – ROI on a rental), and close the deal. When you’re ready to look for that next profitable deal, give us a call.
