Looking for a Buyer’s agent? You should be….

Posted by David Waite on Wednesday, September 18, 2013, In : David Waite's Blog 

After years of trepidation, homebuyers are finally hitting the housing market. But, as they do, many are making the surprising choice to hunt alone, rejecting the assistance of what's known in real estate as a buyer's agent.

 

Many experts say this is a bad move — worse, for example, than trying to sell a house without an agent. For one thing, in most cases, a buyer doesn't pay an agent; the buyer's agent splits the commission with the seller's agent, so the services are essentially free to t...

Why aren't more Veterans buying homes?

Posted by David Waite on Sunday, March 13, 2011, In : David Waite's Blog 

Yesterday, while doing a walk thru with my buyers, a Veteran and a 1st time buyer:  I thought why are not more people doing this? 

My buyers got a super nice property in an excellent neighborhood for just a screaming deal and they did it with $0 down, $0 closing using a 100% Federal VA loan and we got the seller to pay for all their closing costs.  The only thing my buyers are paying for is their home inspection approx. $350-425.  depending on the home size.

It is so easy...I would be happy...
