My wife and I would like to express our appreciation for your assistance in buying our new condo. Your professionalism was highly commendable. We were both very impressed with the your preparedness. You gave us every bit of data known on each property. You were so organized, we did not waste anytime while looking at properties. Since we were from out of town, our time was very critical, you always made every minute count and you were always prompt. I know we could not have secured such a property at such a price without your extensive background and knowledge. Your expertise with the paperwork was fantastic, you navigated us through a very challenging contract. I would highly recommend you to anyone seeking to buy property in the St. Louis area. We could not be more pleased with your services before, during, and after the closing. Thank you again for making this a perfect transaction. Sincerely, M.P. Kirkwood, MO January 2010
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has released an updated 2010 version of a booklet that's intended to help consumers comparison-shop for a mortgage.
Frequently, the first person you consult about buying a home is a real estate agent or broker. Although these agents and brokers provide helpful advice, they may legally be representing the interests of the seller and not yours. You can ask your family and friends for recommendations.
It is your responsibility to search for an agent who will represent your interests in the real estate transaction.
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
Washington, D. C.
"If you want someone to represent
only your interests, consider hiring an
“exclusive buyer’s agent”
who will be working for you."
The Department of Housing and Urban Development:
consider hiring an “Exclusive Buyer’s Agent”
Don't leave w/o reading: "TOP 10" BUYER TRAPS
1. BIDDING BLIND OR PICKING WRONG CONTRACT PRICE
What price should you offer when you bid on a home? Is the seller’s asking price too high, or does it represent a great deal. If you fail to research the market in order to understand what comparable homes are selling for, making your offer would be like bidding blind. Without this knowledge of market value, you could easily bid too much, or fail to make a competitive offer at all on an excellent value.
Finding the house is almost the easy part, on a relative basis, where MetroStar® really excels is on the price negotiation by using our historical bank involvement to justify and document why the offer we make -- is truly the price they should accept.Pricing your foreclosure contract offer is an art of threading-the-needle, you have to have the total and relevant information obtained by your Exclusive Buyer's Broker, -- so you don't miss the target. Information and cash are king. When you truly find your dream home, that is the most important factor, and then, #2. How do you price a contract offer so you don't lose what you have found and attempt to pay the lowest possible price. That is what MetroStar® does best, hitting the pricing target you have set -- and more times than not for even less.
And, THE SELLER USUALLY PAYS ALL OF MetroStar® FEES! (just a normal real estate commission in 95% of time)
2. BUYING THE WRONG HOME: AND ONLY CONSIDERING JUST “FORECLOSURES”
What are you looking for in a home? A simple enough question, but the answer can be quite complex. More than one buyer has been swept up in the emotion and excitement of the buying process only to find themselves the owner of a home that is either too big or too small. Maybe they’re stuck with a longer than desired commute to work, or a dozen more fix-ups than they really want to deal with now that the excitement has died down. Take the time upfront to clearly define your wants and needs. Put it in writing and then use it as a yard stick with which to measure every home you look at.
MetroStar® believes: "pick your best Dream Home first, and, then let us price it down to a bargain." Too many people go for the "bargain" first, and not the "best home" first, and then let the price be taken down by a professional. The MARKET has become as one, with every segment subject to the same downward price pressures -- so you purchase at the lowest possible price. MetroStar® helps you each step of the way. We show you ALL available segments: Bank-Owned, Foreclosed, Pre-Foreclosed, Silent Market, MLS, and Relocation Bargains – You will have access to all segments of homes to buy that meet your needs.
About 60% of our purchases are foreclosures and bank-owned, 40% are Price-Downs to match distressed available and documented lower property values.
Best Deal = the Best Home in the Best Neighborhood.
As I tell my clients -- as my Father told his:
"You Buy the Neighborhood, You Live in the Home." sm
3. NOT HAVING A CLEAR TITLE
Make sure very early on in the negotiation that you will own your new home free and clear by having a title search completed. The last thing you want to discover when you’re in the back stretch of a transaction is that there are encumbrances on the property such as tax liens, undisclosed owners, easements, leases or the like.
MetroStar® orders the Title as soon as possible after the home is under contract.
4. INACCURATE / MISSING CRITICAL SURVEY INFORMATION
As part of your offer to purchase, make sure you request an updated property survey which clearly marks your boundaries. If the survey is not current, you may find that there are structural changes that are not shown (e.g. additions to the house, a new swimming pool, a neighbor’s new fence which is extending a boundary line, etc.). Be very clear on these issues.
MetroStar® clients have for years have always had a full Boundary Survey. Now the Feds and Lenders require it. SPECIAL CUSTOMER EXTRA for MetroStar® clients: Mid-Points along the two side lines and the rear property line; the property line will be staked and marked with Surveyor’s Plastic Sealed Driven Pipe; performed at no absolutely additional charge for MetroStar® Clients. Really handy when you fence.
5. UNDISCLOSED SELLER OR JOE-THE-HANDY-MAN FIX-UPS
Don’t expect every seller to own up to every physical detail that will need to be attended to. Both you and the seller are out to maximize your investment. Ensure that you conduct a thorough inspection of the home early in the process. Consider hiring an independent inspector to objectively view the home inside and out, and make the final contract contingent upon this inspector’s report. This inspector should be able to give you a report of any item that needs to be fixed with associated, approximate cost.
MetroStar® Clients have yet another trained set of eyes over-looking the entire deal. Professional Inspections protect everybody and are a must.
6. NOT GETTING MORTGAGE PRE-APPROVAL FIRST
Pre-approval is fast, easy and free. When you have a pre-approved mortgage, you can shop for your home with a greater sense of freedom and security, knowing that the money will be there when you find the home of your dreams.
MetroStar® Clients have access to some very unique Private Mortgage Bankers. The Banks won't take your low offer seriously unless you are proven to qualify to close; loan pre-approval and Proof of Funds for the balance. You must have all your ducks-in-a-row or the Bank will reject your contract offer.
7. CONTRACT MISSES AND SELLER NON-COMPLIANCE
If a seller fails to comply to the letter of the contract by neglecting to attend to some repair issues, or changing the spirit of the agreement in some way, this could delay the final closing and settlement. Agree ahead of time on a dollar amount for an escrow fund to cover items that the seller fails to follow through on. Prepare a list of agreed issues, walk through them, and check them off one by one.
MetroStar® Clients have the advantage of a seasoned professional to guide you. Unique and surprise gophers pop up on almost every deal, you have to have the experienced broker to handle them in your favor.
8. HIDDEN COSTS AND UNDISCLOSED FEES
Make sure you identify and uncover all costs - large and small -far enough ahead of time. When a transaction closes, you will sometimes find fees for this or that sneaking through after the "sub"-total - fees such as loan disbursement charges, underwriting fees etc. Understand these in advance by having your lender project total charges for you in writing.
MetroStar® Clients are assured that we receive no other types of compensation. Not everybody shares this Client-First philosophy, we take nothing under the table, never have, never will. No fee split, No referral percentage, No marketing money, No kick-back, No disguised kick-back, Nothing, Zero. Period.
THE LAW: "No person shall accept any portion, split, or percentage of any charge made or received (by a vendor or supplier) for the rendering of a real estate settlement service."
9. RUSHING THE CLOSING WITHOUT PROFESSIONAL REVIEW
Take your time during this critical part of the process, and insist on seeing all closing paperwork at least the day before you sign. Make sure this documentation perfectly reflects your understanding of the transaction, and that nothing has been added or subtracted. Is the interest rate right? Is everything covered? If you rush this process on the day of closing, you may run into a last minute snag that you can’t fix without compromising the terms of the deal, the financing, or even the sale itself.
It is just too easy to miss a critical step. MetroStar® provides its clients a hold-your-hand, and very detailed step-by-step “Road-Map To Closing Checklist.” Trust is essential, you have to believe your broker has all of your interests ahead of theirs.
10. NOT HAVING THE PROPER BUYER REPRESENTATION
Above all else, Choose an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent.
No other type of agent represents only your interests.
The Internet-Empowered Consumer will benefit from having an Exclusive Buyer's Broker.The internet and the paradigm shift to Buyer Agents that specialize as True-Advocates for the Buyer are becoming the driving forces in the real estate transactions of today.However, the sad facts are in the last year almost half of buyers have gone to the closing table without an advocate. **i.e. 49% were NOT represented by a Fiduciary-Level agent that represented and protected the BUYER. Going into a closing without representation is just plain nuts! Why? Because the Seller or the Seller's Agent have no responsibility to represent any of your interests! Buyers need to be represented!

*** BREAKING NEWS ON NEW TAX CREDIT ***
New $6500 Tax Credit for Existing Home-Owners Purchasing Primary Replacement Home
& Extension of $8000 First-Time Home Buyers Tax Credit to April 30, 2010
Expected to contribute approximately $22 billion to the economy, Congress overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan measure this week extending the $8,000 home buyer tax credit to April 30, 2010.
The legislation, which is part of a larger bill that also extends unemployment benefits, was signed into law by President Obama on November 6, 2009.
More people are now eligible to take advantage of the law, which includes a $6,500 tax credit for buyers who are current home owners and have lived in their home for five of the past eight years.
How the Federal First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit Works:
First-time homebuyers receive a tax credit worth 10% of their home purchase, up to $8,000. The credit is claimed on the homebuyer’s federal tax returns. The credit is refundable, which means that the homebuyer receives a refund for the amount of the credit minus any federal tax liability. Buyers must live in the house for at least three years, or they will be obligated to pay back the credit.
How the MHDC Tax Credit Advance Loan Program Works:
MHDC makes a second mortgage to the homebuyer at the time of closing worth up to 6% of the home purchase price or a maximum of $6,750, which is used to cover downpayment and closing costs. The tax credit advance loan is paired with MHDC financing for the first mortgage in the form of a safe 30 year, fixed rate mortgage (both mortgages must be applied for through a participating lender). The homebuyer then files for the federal tax credit and uses the credit refund to pay off the MHDC tax credit advance loan. If the tax credit advance loan is paid off by the designated deadline (no later than June, 2010), the homeowner pays no interest other than a modest servicing fee. If the tax credit advance loan is not paid in full by the deadline, principal and interest payments to repay the loan over 10 years begin automatically.
The federal tax credit is set to expire December 1, 2009.

Something each Buyer should consider:
In the case of SNIDER v. OKLAHOMA REAL ESTATE COMMISSION, June 1, 1999
The OKLAHOMA SUPREME COURT said:
"Sellers' agents and dual agents do not and cannot by law give a buyer the same degree of loyalty as an agent who acts on behalf of a buyer. Sellers' agents owe their allegiance to the seller. Dual agency invites a conflict of interest. A buyer who relies on the seller's agent or on dual agency does not receive the same degree of legal protection as that afforded by an agent acting solely on behalf of the buyer".
PROTECT YOUR INTERESTS BY HAVING AN EXCLSUIVE BUYER'S BROKER.
"If you want someone to represent
only your interests, consider hiring an
“Exclusive Buyer’s Agent”
who will be working for you."
so says -- The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
