There are many considerations to make when deciding to buy a home. One of these considerations is where to buy. There are many different types of communities within the Twin Cities. We can work with you to understand what all of these communities have to offer. Another consideration is what type of home to buy. There are many styles of homes in the twin cities. Some of these styles include single-family homes, town homes, condos, and lofts. There are differences between these styles of homes like amount of maintenance needed, association fees and general cost of living. We look forward to sitting down with you and discussing these difference and what will work best for you! Short Sales A short sale occurs when a property is sold and the lender agrees to accept a discounted payoff, meaning the lender will release the lien that is secured to the property upon receipt of less money than is actually owed. Foreclosures A foreclosure is the legal action instigated by a lender to end all ownership rights when mortgage payments have not been kept up (known as defaulting). The owner’s right to the property is terminated, and ownership of the property transfers to the institution, which then usually sells it and applies the proceeds to the mortgage debt. The negotiation process with a bank is slightly longer than a standard purchase although prices are often lower than the average. Financing—What can you afford? Homes and financing are closely intertwined. (Financing is the difference between the purchase price and the down payment, commonly referred to as debt or the mortgage.) The good news is that over the years new and innovative loan programs have evolved which require a 5 percent down payment or less. In fact, a number of programs now allow purchasers to buy real estate with nothing down. Using a Fox Homes realtor Buying and selling real estate is a complex matter. At first it might seem that by checking local ads or online sites you could quickly find the right home at the right price.

Setting up Insurance The essential idea behind various forms of real estate insurance is to protect owners in the event of catastrophe. If something goes wrong, insurance can be the bargain of a lifetime. This is something we will help you with prior to the closing on your new home. Closing on your Home Its time to sign on the line! Closings bring together a variety of parties who are part of the “transaction” process. For example, while the history of property ownership has been checked, it’s possible that the records contain errors, unrecorded claims or flaws in the review itself, thus title insurance is necessary.
