Lake Ridge VA Real Estate News

After  an exhausting house hunting trip last weekend,my relocating clients found one the really liked. It was Vacant and Ready for a new owner and it was gorgeous from top to bottom. The home was listed by Prudential, Simpson & Associates in Stafford Virginia and owned by Prudential Relocation. 

After much discussion," I helped my clients craft an offer on the property."  The process was remarkably fast. With the use of Docusign ,I submitted the offer for my clients early Thursday afternoon and by close of business we had a counter from the relocation company. Along with a complete copy of the home inspection report, the termite, the well and water tests, and the radon test! Everything was in order and deficiencies had been corrected prior to Prudential Relocation taking ownership.

So in less than 48 hours, I was able to call my wonderful clients and say "Congratulations You Got The House!" They will move in, in less than 30 days!

I wonder what today's  real estate world be like if Big Banks had systems in place similar to that of  relocation companies?

If you are searching for a home in Prince William County VA, keep you eyes out for Fannie Mae Listings.

Fannie Mae for a limited time only is offer additional Closing Cost Assistance, if you close on a home by May 01,2010. Check out this news! Here is the memo

What does this mean to you? Well let's say you can quailify for a $300,000 home. This is how the program works: $300,000 x 3.5% = $10,500! That is how much closing cost assistance Fannie Mae will contribute to the purchase of the home. They have even reduced the amount you need to put down at time of contract! It's all great news. But it gets better:

Consider This:

• Fannie Mae will help you pay the closing costs up to 3.5% so they will give you $10,500 at closing!
• Or you can choose to get new Whirlpool Appliances or a combination of both up to $10,500 in this example.
• Purchase must be complete by May 01, 2010.
• But the best news is: If you are able to find a Fannie Mae home and get your contract ratified by April 30,2010. You also will be able to receive the Home Buyer Tax Credit so that is another  $8000!

So let me ask you:"When is the last time someone offered to give you $18,500 to buy a home?"

 The higher priced the home the better the closing cost incentive.

That's right! I just scrubbed the MLS Database to see if there were any Approved Short Sales for one of my clients. I was surprised to see there are actually 37 Approved Short Sales waiting for new owners.

What is an Approved Short Sale?  An approved short sale is exactly what it sounds like.

The list price and terms have already been approved by the homeowners bank. The Listing Agent has the terms in writing and so does the Title Company.

No One Is Going To Make You Jump Through Hoops!

Typically, there is no negotiating on these types of sales. That is because the bank/servicing company has had the home appraised and has submitted the contract that the seller had and then negotiated what they are willing to allow the home to sell for.

Why would you consider buying an Approved Short Sale?

• Quicker Closing
• Set Terms- No Surprises
• You Will Be Able To Collect On The $8000 Tax Credit
