Attention Atlanta First Time Home Buyers

Are you an Atlanta first time home buyer? Get your questions answered in our First-Time Home Buyer’s Kit.

Buying a home is one the biggest financial decisions most people will make in their entire lives, so it’s only natural to have questions about the process, especially for first-time home buyers.

That’s why we put together our own First-Time Home Buyer’s Kit.

The free kit includes:

1. Home Buyer’s Handbook - a 16-page booklet and glossary designed to provide answers to the more basic questions about buying a home;
2. Gift of Knowledge CD “Home Buying 101″ - a unique 60-minute interview that answers the top 20 most important questions every first-time home buyer needs to know.

Here are just a few of the 20 questions addressed in the free CD:

• What are the benefits of owning versus renting a home?

When you add up the tax benefits of owning a home versus renting a home, it costs no more to be a homeowner than it does to rent, in many cases. With this in mind, why help finance your landlord’s financial goals when you can own your own home and, as your equity grows, increase your savings for the future as well?

• Does my credit score affect my ability to secure a home loan?

When it comes to qualifying for a mortgage, the answer is never simply a matter of yes or no; it’s a matter of when: When will you be ready to qualify? While your credit score does affect this process, with credit repair services, government loans, and other programs and strategies, homeownership can be a reality for anyone willing to put in the necessary time and effort.

• What’s the difference between being prequalified and being preapproved?

There’s a world of difference. A prequalification is a statement based often on unverified financial data. A preapproval is a decision to loan, and carries a lot of weight with sellers. With a pre-approval, you are essentially a cash buyer, and not only do you know exactly how much you can afford, sellers will take your offer much more seriously.

Living Through Today’s Real Estate Market

How are you handling the real estate market slowdown?

Are you hanging on by a thread? Eating rice and beans or finding new opportunities?

I believe the answer lies within each of us - real estate agents, Atlanta sellers, buyers, mortgage lenders - at the core of our being. How we handle adversity is shaped by our culture, our family, our life experiences, and our faith. Our response to changes in the Atlanta real estate market echoes our response to other challenges.

Do you:

• Pretend circumstances aren’t as bad as they are?
• Stay busy so you don’t have to think about the market?
• Get depressed or sick?
• Feel controlled by events and people?
• Blame, threaten, coerce, beg, or bribe?
• Feel terribly anxious about finding buyers and sellers?
• Feel angry, victimized, unappreciated, and used?

Are you confident and assertive? Or compliant and dependent?

I’ve seen many North Atlanta houses for sale listed by agents too frightened to be honest with sellers. Real estate agents working out of fear and desperation can not serve the best interests of their clients.

Putting a for sale sign in the yard of an over-priced listing is wrong on many levels.

1. It gives false hope to a seller.
2. It wastes the time of buyer agents and their clients.
3. It is misleading advertising.
4. It enables an inexperienced real estate agent to look busy.
5. It fosters the belief that real estate agents can not be trusted.

Saying ‘yes’ to overpriced listings in saying ‘no’ to new opportunities.
