first time home buyer: HERE IS A PROCESS TO GET ONE'S CREDIT BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK TO PURCHASE A HOME - 04/29/12 03:26 PM
HERE IS A PROCESS TO GET ONE'S CREDIT BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK TO PURCHASE A HOME It is a new day in America. The credit report is your scorecard in the finance world. We are being judged on a three digit number. One must have decent credit to obtain lines of credit and conventional mortgages.

first time home buyer: FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS READY TO PURCHASE ARIZONA FORELCLOSURES - 08/28/11 09:32 PM
FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS READY TO PURCHASE ARIZONA FORECLOSURES Real estate experts have predicted another year of dismal results in the real estate market. Banks are preparing to foreclose on millions of homes that were delayed since the "Robo Sign" incident. Inventory is starting to increase at the Arizona Trustee Sales. I am seeing a daily average of three hundred homes or more being offered by the asset management companies. Things can be crazy out there for first time home buyers if they do not work with a professional Realtor. It is best to hire a professional when climbing Mount Everest.

first time home buyer: FIRST TIME HOME BUYER CHECKLIST FOR PURCHASING ARIZONA FORECLOSURES - 07/31/11 07:03 PM
FIRST TIME HOME BUYER CHECKLIST FOR PURCHASING ARIZONA FORECLOSURES I have represented many homebuyers in my real estate career. I consider the home inspection vital during the buyer's due diligence period when purchasing a house. The purchase of a home is the biggest investments people make in their lifetimes. Currently, we are in the middle of a foreclosure nightmare. Banks are selling foreclosed homes "AS-IS." Banks will not make any repairs to the house. So, one must be extra careful when purchasing a house from a bank. A home inspection gives the buyer a piece of mind knowing what one is

TURNING INDECISIVE BUYER INTO AN INFORMED BUYER WITH CLOSING DATE I had a buyer call on one of my signs. It was a bank owned property listed below $50,000. It was not a big deal. I wrote a blog PostLET ME THINK ABOUT IT describing a buyer who has been looking in a certain neighborhood to purchase a home for over a year. Then, he informed me that he was not working with a Realtor. That was the difference. So, I asked him if he would like the house. He said yes. The next step was to write up the offer. He

first time home buyer: AMERICANS FORCED TO JUMP HURDLES TO OBTAIN FANNIE MAE FINANCING - 07/11/10 12:24 PM
AMERICANS FORCED TO JUMP HURDLES TO OBTAIN FANNIE MAE FINANCING Fannie Mae continues to tighten up their credit standards to make it impossible for the average American to obtain the American Dream. What is the American Dream? My grandfather would describe the American Dream to me as working hard as a man, marry the person of your dreams, begin a family and purchase a home with a white picket fence. Oh! Please do not forget Max the dog. Does this dream still exist in America? I have noticed it is becoming harder and harder to close a simple real estae transaction.

first time home buyer: REALTOR ASSISTS BUYER IN MAKING A RATIONAL DECISION ON PRIMARY HOME PURCHASE - 06/12/10 09:42 AM
REALTOR ASSISTS BUYER IN MAKING A RATIONAL DECISION ON PRIMARY HOME PURCHASE The Phoenix real estate market continues to get better and better as summer continues. People are still buying homes to take advantage of the low prices, low interest rates and the low cost to repair the homes that need it. I am seeing mortgage rates below 5% in some cases. That is just too insane to pass up. It is more cost effective to own a home than rent in today's current real estate market. I have been working with primary home buyer for the past couple of weeks.

I AM SEARCHING FOR A HOME BUT I REFUSE TO WORK WITH A REALTOR I received a call from one of my many listings in Phoenix, Arizona.

She continues to tell me that she has been looking
