BUYERS & SELLERS

My team and I have helped families buy and sell homes for over 14 years and in 2010 we averaged a home sold every 8 days.  With the changing market, agents have to educate themselves to meet the needs of their clients.

I am a Certified Distressed Property Expert and earned my CDPE designation to help even more families... whether they are looking to buy a foreclosure or short sale or helping them avoid a foreclosure by negotiating a successful short sale.  If you or someone you know is in a situation where they are falling behind on payments, do not let them fall for the many scams that are out there.  Give me a call!  It doesn't cost anything and it can mean a huge difference in when they can buy a home again.  Working with a knowledgeable agent who understands the process is vital to get to closing in a timely manner.

My best tip for buyers and sellers is to interview your agent.  Buying or selling a home one of the largest purchases or sales you will make in your life.  Ask questions of agents you meet with to protect yourself like... how long have you been an agent, how many homes have you sold in the area, what designations have you earned, are you a full time agent or do you also have a part time job?  Once you find an agent who you trust and feel is knowledgeable... hire them.  It doesn't cost you anything and they will represent you when you decide to make an offer on a home.


ATTENTION FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS!

There are some great programs out there to include certain reputable lenders that I work with who have a FHA and VA $7,500 grant program to help with down payment and/or closing costs.  This is a great program for home buyers in the $250,000-$300,000 or less price range.  Prices of homes and interest rates are at an all time low.  Take advantage of owning your own home if you can!  The grant program has limited funds available, however, the funds were replensihed in April 2010.  Call me for more information and to get the lender's names to see if you qualify.

"The use of the this grant money has done so much for me. Not only was I able to look at more options with the 10,000 dollars, but it also alleviated the stresses one may have with trying to come up with closing costs.  Without the help of this money I would have never been able to do this on  my own, and now my dream of being a homeowner is a reality. Even better with the constant help of Michelle my agent and Kim my loan officer.  I was never short of answers to any of my million questions. If you ask me receiving the information about this grant is one of the best things that has ever happened to me and it's definitely worth looking into if your thinking of purchasing your first home!"    Melissa
