Are you buying a HUD Home in Fairburn, GA?  Here's how to search for HUD listings. In Georgia there are a variety of ways to search for available, active listings.  But to get the best results for HUD Homes in Fairburn GA, I recommend two things.  First of all find an agent (like me or one from my office) who is familiar with Fairburn GA and its neighborhoods.  For example, Fairburn GA is an incorporated city, but some of the properties reside outside of the city limits.  Those properties are not subject to city taxes, only to unincorporated Fulton County taxes.  An agent who is familiar with Fairburn can navigate you to listings that best fit your preferences.  Also the agent should be a Certified Selling Agent for HUD.  Only a HUD Certified Selling Agent can make offers for buyers loo...

Even though the statistics continue to prove that over 80% of home sales are accomplished with the assistance of a licensed real estate professional, sellers are still looking at listing their property on their own.  The FSBO (for sale by owner) seller is convinced that he or she can go it alone and save the cost of the real estate's commission in the process.  Sellers in Fairburn, GA - here's some additional food for thought: It's more than placing a sign in the yard and getting online.  While the majority of today's buyers are finding their homes online, there is a connection that has to be made from the time they find your home in Fairburn, GA online and the time you respond back to their inquiry.  Statistics from lead generation companies show that the buyer wants to be engaged with...

I was talking over an offer with a buyer last week for a property that he was interested in making an offer on.  We had made an offer about 30 days before, but the seller selected another offer from a different buyer.  My buyer and his family had seen this home, and they really liked it.  So the listing comes around again, and we prepare the best offer possible based on his pre approved loan amount and the request for 'Highest and Best'.  As we talked through the numbers, I reiterated to the buyer that he has to think about the money in two different ways. First the offer we were making which includes the offer price and seller concessions are one set of numbers and represent one financial path we are on.  So our offer price of X and our requests for seller concessions of A for the clos...

Rules around income requirements and income verification have tightened in the mortgage industry, and it is important for buyers to know what to expect from lenders.  Here are five general guidelines about income for buyers to consider: Lenders look at gross income (income before taxes and other deductions) when trying to qualify buyers for a mortgage. Lenders must document the source of a buyer's income for most loans.  Lenders will request two months or more of current pay check stubs from buyers. Lenders may or may not count 'extra' income depending on underwriting guidelines.  'Extra' income includes overtime pay, bonuses, special incentives, and other income that not regularly earned.  Underwriting guidelines will determine what income can be counted and what income cannot be count...
