Have you ever thought about buying a foreclosed home?
Foreclosures are often sold below market value, so you can save significantly on the initial purchase. However, they can end up costing more in the long run if they require costly repairs.
Here are 3 things to consider before you decide:
🏚️ Foreclosures are typically sold as-is, meaning the seller bears no liability for any problems.
🏚️ You may be unable to tour the home or have an inspection before purchasing.
🏚️ Foreclosed homes often need extensive repairs due to long-term vacancy or neglect.
Buying a foreclosure can be both risky and rewarding. Reach out to discuss all the options available in our market so we can help you make an informed decision and score a great deal.

A lot has changed in the real estate industry since I was initially licensed in 1979, especially in technology and disclosure requirements and I have kept pace with these and other changes by extending and refining my knowledge base in real estate by acquiring my Brokers license as well as my Accredited Buyer's Representation, Graduate Realtor Institute, Senior Real Estate Specialist and Short Sale & Foreclosure designations. Perhaps, the most significant accomplishment was obtaining my "Certified Residential Specialist" designation, which is awarded to a minority of agents Nationwide.
However, one thing that has not changed is my value system, my work ethic and my commitment to excellence.
Whether, you are a first time buyer or an experienced investor, a Millennial, Generation X or Baby Boomer, I will guide you through the entire home buying process, including previewing properties, finding your desired home or property, arranging inspections and even financing. In doing so, I will help you determine the market value of a property and structure an offer.
As a seller, you will benefit from a dynamic marketing plan and a well-established network of real estate professionals to help actively expose your home to thousands of qualified buyers throughout the nation. I will provide a detailed market analysis of homes comparable to yours in the area and through this research, assist you in determining a competitive price to sell your home.
Realizing that a Real Estate transaction may be the largest investment you may make, my mission is to provide the information, services and representation you need in order for to make the smartest decision.
Thank you again for your interest and please call or text me if I can assist you with any of your Real Estates needs.
