 BUYERS & SELLERS
I have helped families buy and sell homes for over 11 years. However, with the changing market, agents have to educate themselves to meet the needs of their clients.
In 2008, 90% of my clients bought or sold a foreclosure or a short sale. I am now a Certified Distressed Property Expert and have 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.
Also, The Rainy Day Foundation's Homeowner Education and Loan Protection service (HELP) includes a Mortgage Protection Program that protects homeowners if they experience a loss of their employment. May Americans today are concerned with job stability and how they are going to make their mortgage payments if they lose their job. This is a great service for Home Sellers to offer potential Buyers to give them the peace of mind in buying your home. This program is only available to Sellers or Buyers who work with agents who are certified (which I am). For more information, give me a call.
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/VA $10,000 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 and they were just released on April 1, 2009. Call me for more information and to get the lender's names to see if you qualify.
For a free, no obligation and confidential appointment, just call or e-mail me. I make sure I return all phone calls and e-mails in a prompt manner.    |  | | | | |

Financing Your Home >Financing Clauses
Residential sales agreements usually have clauses referred to as financing contingencies which allow the buyers to declare the contract null and void if they are unable to obtain financing. This may be the most important condition in your contract if you are buying a home, so read the contract carefully before you sign it.
Most financing clauses set a time limit of from 30 to 45 days for obtaining a firm commitment from a lender. They may set deadlines for applying for a loan, and require the buyer's full cooperation in obtaining all the information needed to process your loan. If the loan is not approved by the deadline, it may be necessary to request an extension from the sellers or take specific steps to void the contract and get your deposit money back. Be sure to note all of the financing deadlines in the contract, apply for your loan as soon as possible, and be diligent about providing the lender with any documents that are requested.
