This blog was inspired by my good friend Renee Burrows. Renee's Blog can be seen here.
This is a reminder that you really need to be pre-approved before you start looking for your Roanoke Area Home. If you are paying cash then we simply need the proof of funds. We will need your pre-approval or your proof of funds when we write an offer. Banks, REO companies and Sellers will require proof of your ability to buy before accepting your offer.
I cannot make appointments to show houses without an approval from a lender with an office in the Roanoke Valley area. Roanoke Area agents have been burned too many times by Internet lenders, or out of town fly by night brokers to allow a contract to be signed without a local lender's approval. It will save you a lot of time and grief to go ahead and handle this now.
Many think that winter is the "slower" season but this year it definitely is not. We are busier now than we were in late summer so please help us help you by speaking to a lender now. If you need a great local lender call Joel Balsley at 540-278-1430. Joel is a great, GREAT lender who will do everything to get you approved at a great rate.
If you have any questions about the Roanoke Real Estate Market, please do not hesitate to call or email me.
Have a Happy New Year!
