Hi I’m Keith Reeves from Southland Properties. You can reach me on my cell phone at (909) 576-0944.

I’m talking today about setting priorities in home buying. Particularly, I want to target the first time home buyer because often first time home buyers don’t know what they’re looking for and it’s helpful to distinguish between what you absolutely have to have and what you’d like to have. They’re often quite different. Buying a house always involves compromise. I don’t really know anyone who’s ever been able to get their dream house the first time around. It’s always like, “Man if we had $100,000 more we could get what we really wanted. You see $300,000 buyers wanting $400,000 homes and $500,000 buyers wanting $600,000 homes. (more…)

The Benefits Of Using A Realtor Who Understands Short Sales – Podcast Episode by Heather Riffner

Click here to learn more about Heather Riffner

My name is Heather Riffner and I am here today to talk about short sales.  Unfortunately in today’s market, we are seeing more and more homes being listed and sold as short sales.  Because of this, it is very important when buying or selling a home in this market that you choose a real estate professional that is knowledgeable in this area.

The reason that this is important for a buyer is because when out looking at properties, there is a very good chance that you will be previewing homes that are listed as short sales.  It is very important that your agent is able to explain to you how the short sale process works and is able to write the offer so it gets approved by the bank.  For instance, when writing up an offer on a short sale, it is always a good idea that you put in the offer that you will be accepting the property as-is and that you are not expecting the seller to make any repairs or credit any money towards repairs.  Reason being is that the seller is already behind on payments, at this point they just want out and they are ninety-nine percent of the time not going to make repairs or credit money so the buyer can make repairs.  Little tips like this can help a buyer when they see a home they love and want which happens to be a short sale.
