5 Common First-Time Home Buyer Mistakes

1. They don't ask enough questions of their lender and end up missing out on the best deal.

2. They don't act quickly enough to make a decision and somebody else buys the house.

3. They don't find the right agent who's willing to help them through the homebuying process.

4. They don't do enough to make their offer look appealing to a seller.

5. They don't think about resale before they buy. The average first-time buyer only stays in a home for four years.

Don't walk away

We have all been hearing talk of foreclosures for a while now. Currently in Denver, there are 2,005 homes in pre-foreclosure and 6,955 homes IN foreclosure. The part that is alarming to me is that only 5% of these are or were listed. People are just “letting their house go”. This is horribly sad if you are aware of what a foreclosure does to your credit. Banks are willing to help those that can prove they are financially insolvent. In fact, some banks are getting incentives from the government to approve short sales. A bank only loses 19% in losses on a short sale while foreclosures are costing them 40%. Banks want to help, I want to help. If you or someone you know is struggling to make payments, pass along my information to them and I will see if they qualify. For most loans, you don’t even have to have missed a payment.

Reasons banks may grant a short sale:

1. Loss of job

2. Business failed

3. Damage to property

4. Death of spouse

5. Severe illness or medical expenses

6. Inheritance beneficiary

7. Divorce

8. Mandatory job relocation

9. Mortgage payment adjustment

10. Property tax increase

11. Reduced income

12. Separation

13. Too much debt

14. Incarceration

If you or someone you know is motivated to save themselves from Foreclosure, feel free to contact me. I can answer all the questions!
