As most of you know, the majority of US home mortgages are insured by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. So, when a home goes all the way through the foreclosure process, the lender it ends up with is often either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. End result is Fannie and Freddie own a lot of real estate and needs to sell it. But how do they do that in today’s market?
With HOME PATH!!
How does Fannie Mae sell its homes?
They use local real estate professionals to prepare, maintain, and list their properties for sale. All properties are listed on the Home Path website –
www.homepath.com – and most have photographs, property descriptions
and other details, like school and neighborhood information.
Do I have to use a special real estate agent?
No. You may work with any real estate sales professional to submit
an offer on our properties. However, Fannie Mae only accepts offers
through our real estate listing agents.
There’s just one more critical step before starting your search with Home Path: that’s talking to a lender and getting a pre-approval for financing. This is important with Home Path Homes. Home Path properties are hot and usually get into escrow as soon as they're listed, thus the importance of having buyers prequalified.
• This saves time by letting you search for homes within the pre-approved,
affordable price range.
• Having this letter is also critical to showing the seller (in this case,
Fannie Mae) that you have a serious and qualified buyer. Now find a
house and you’re ready to submit an offer.
Keep in mind that a loan pre-qualification or pre-approval letter
doesn’t mean your loan is approved yet. You’ll still need to apply for
a loan once you have an accepted offer on a house.
