Highland Utah Homes for Sale and your Credit When it comes time to purchase a new home there is nothing more important than having Good Credit. The first thing a lender will do is review your credit report. The credit report is a history of money you have borrowed in the past and how you have repaid those debts. It contains a list of debts such as credit cards, car loans, and other loans. It also contains other public records such as liens or bankruptcies. Your credit report is constantly being updated and most of the information is deleted from you record after 7 years (10 years for bankruptcies). This credit information is then used to help generate a computer driven number that indicates your risk to lenders. This is what is called your Credit Score. No Credit? It is very important t...

Highland Homes for Sale and Bank Owned Foreclosure Homes Highland Utah Banks are not in the business to hold onto an inventory of homes. They want to get rid of these homes yesterday. This makes for a great opportunity for you, the home buyer or investor, because most of these homes are well below market value. Once the bank owns the property they will handle eviction if any, take care of some repairs, pay past HOA and/or other maintenance dues, and then will negotiate with the IRS, removal of tax liens, if any. How do banks sell Highland REO’s (Real Estate owned by the Bank?) Most banks have an REO department that handles the sale of these properties. They certainly would like to get the best price of course. When you make an offer, the banks will usually make a counter offer. Don’t be...

Highland Homes for Sale Using a Realtor or Selling For Sale by Owner FSBO Some people are very successful at selling their home By Owner. They have knowledge of key marketing strategies, how to best show their home, and they possess a good understanding of contracts. They are versed in negotiation tactics, but most of all, they are aware of the current market in their area and have priced their home appropriately. They realize the majority of homes on the market today are sold through an agency and they are aware that potential buyers might expect them to sell for less that market value because they will not be paying an agency commission. On the other hand, listing your home with a Utah Realtor means that upon the sale, you pay a commission to the agencies involved out of your proceeds...

Highland Homes for Sale and Closing Costs There have been times in the past that I have had clients come to closing not understanding what kind of money they would be required to pay. There are various fees associated with buying and selling a home. These fees are called closing costs. Some of these fees are automatically assigned to either the buyer or the seller, other costs are either negotiable or are dictated by local area custom. Buyer Closing Costs When the buyer applies for a home loan, loan officers are required to provide the borrower with a good faith estimate of their closing costs. These fees will vary depending on the type of loan and the terms of the purchase agreement. Some of the closing costs, especially those dealing with the loan application, are actually paid in adv...

Highland Homes for Sale and the FSBO for Sale by Owner   When it comes time to sell your home, one big decision needs to be made. Can I sell my home by myself or should I use a Realtor? Everybody wants to make as much money as they can when it comes time to sell their home, but it is necessary to maintain realistic expectations if there is to be a successful sale transaction. The For Sale by Owner option is often perceived to be best way to make the highest profit when selling a home. In theory, that makes a lot of sense, but there are so many variables that the results usually come out the opposite. In fact, statistics from the National Association of Realtors report that only 16 % of those who listed their home For Sale by Owner were successful in selling their home. The main drawback...

Highland Homes for Sale and Seller Motivation When looking for homes for my buyer clients, I have found that the Seller’s Motivation can have a dramatic effect on the price of the home. The most common “Motivated Seller” is someone who has already bought his or her next home or is relocating to a new area. They will be under the gun to sell the home quickly or face the prospect of making two mortgage payments at the same time. Since that can drain a bank quickly, most sellers want to avoid such a situation and may be willing to give up thousands of dollars to avoid the possibility. Family crises can be a motivation for a seller to make a quick deal. However, when you see a real estate ad that mentions, divorce, motivated seller, relocation, or something to that affect, beware. Many time...
