Some Exciting Developments in the Real Estate World

I’ve got two exciting announcements to share today. Here’s the big news.

I’ve got a few exciting pieces of news to share with you today.

First, I have partnered with a vendor who will allow you to make upgrades and updates to your home before selling and you won’t have to pay until after closing. Let’s say you want to replace the paint in a room, the flooring in another, or do a complete remodel of a bathroom. With this program, our vendor will let you defer paying for those repairs (which will increase your home’s sale price) until the home is sold. It’s a very exciting program.

The next thing I want to talk about is a new product that is coming out to replace heavy, expensive granite and marble. It’s pretty incredible.

This product is man-made out of organic materials. It’s recyclable and doesn’t need to be re-sealed because it’s not porous. You never have to polish it either and two men can carry a slab of it easily. It’s harder than granite, won’t ever chip, and it’s basically heat proof.

This new synthetic porcelain is better than granite in every way.

This product is being manufactured in Europe right now and I imagine it will make its way here soon. It’s actually a synthetic porcelain, but it can be made to look like several different types of marble. The only difference, besides all the reasons we mentioned above, is that this product is much more inexpensive and much more effective.

If you have any questions for me about either of these topics or anything else relating to real estate, give me a call or send me an email. I would love to hear from you.

How Can This New Pilot Program Benefit You?

Tired of always having to physically go to the title company to sign the paperwork when buying a new home? This pilot program might interest you.

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve been invited to be a part of a new national pilot program. What is this new program? How does it work?

Instead of you having to physically sign paperwork at the title company to purchase your home or have a power of attorney sign for you, this program allows you to sign via the Internet. All you need is a Wi-Fi connection and a computer and you can sign from anywhere in the world whenever you purchase a home.

Now all you need is a Wi-Fi connection to sign for a home.

This program is just getting off the ground, but I’m very excited about it and I’m privileged to be a part of it. I’d love nothing more than to tell you more about it, so if you have any questions about this program, please don’t hesitate to give me a call. I look forward to speaking with you!

Have You Heard About HECM?

I’m so excited to tell you all about a new purchase program called the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage!

I just learned about a new program called the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), and I’m excited to share the details with you today.

HECM is a purchase program that enables those of retirement age, 62 or older, an incredible opportunity to purchase a very nice home and never have to make a mortgage payment.

Let’s say you’re 68 years old and selling your home to move to a different one, and now that your home sold, the different home you want to purchase costs $175,000. That would require an $84,836 premium to close. With HECM, you could purchase that $175,000 home with just $84,836 and never have to make another mortgage payment.

This is the best program for the retirement age group I have seen to date.

As another example, if you were 78 years old and wanted to purchase a $400,000 house, it would require just $159,013 and you would never have to make a monthly mortgage payment.

There are no income requirements for this program, and it’s one of the best I’ve ever seen for people of this age group in all my years of experience.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me with a phone call or a quick email. I look forward to hearing from you!
