SHORT SALE and FORECLOSURE PROPERTY INFORMATION FOR BUYERS
WOW! If you are in a position to purchase real estate, the times and circumstances could not be any more fantastic than they are right now!!! Congratulations! As you may know, there are a lot of great home deals available to buyers through the Short Sale and Bank Owned Real Estate Market (also known as REO's). However, the face and internal workings of purchasing real estate through these means is very different than the traditional real estate purchases. There is a lot to know as a buyer, so it is imperative that you hire a team who has experience not only selling these types of properties, but LISTING them, as well.
WHEN YOU WANT TO BUY?
Good question! It is imperative to hire a Short Sale or REO Listing Agent who is experienced in negotiating Short Sale contracts in addition to knowing the ins and outs of the Short Sale process and transaction. This benefits the buyer because their Realtor knows not only what a buyer should expect when purchasing a short sale property, but they can also be of support to the Short Sale Listing Broker when it comes time to negotiate your offer! Short Sale and REO Listing Brokers know how challenging these transactions can become, and having experience representing both sides of these deals is good protection for both Sellers and Buyers. This experience with distressed properties certainly benefits the buyers with traditional sellers as well.
As a good Buyers Agent, we will know how to write the best offer for your particular circumstances (ie: whether you are purchasing as an investor or as a long-term homeowner), what documents are needed at the time the offer is submitted and what questions to ask when submitting such an offer. Because our team is experienced at Listing and Negotiating Short Sale properties we're already on the inside track to knowing which offers get looked at and which ones do not, where the market is currently and where the best deals are, as well as knowing how each individual bank handles their negotiations. This equates to faster offer acceptance and a higher likeliness of closing the transaction successfully. We can also refer you to mortgage lenders who have proven integrity and excellence in their representation of our clients. Our expanded team of experts bring a wealth of knowledge regarding all types of mortgage programs for everyone from First Time Home Buyers to Savvy Investors, and they keep their finger on the pulse of the ever-changing market. Because we work in concert with each other, you have our personal support in working with one of our recommended lenders.
If you are interested in purchasing property and would like to see if a Short Sale or REO purchase would work for you, please feel free to contact us for a free, personal consultation. You can reach our team at 541-550-4944 or you can contact our Buyer Specialist, Gina Dunker at 541-550-4900.
