Atlanta Buyers, Save Time and Expense By Getting a Loan Commitment

JORDON WHEELER: Real Estate Agent in Fairburn, GA

I work with a lot of metro Atlanta buyers, and I thoroughly enjoy helping people buy their first home or new home in metro Atlanta. Times have changed in the lending arena. I recently had a problem where the pre approval was not enough to get the transaction done. To save time and expense, I now educate my metro Atlanta buyers on the importance of getting a loan commitment from a reputable lender or mortgage broker before we do any looking at homes.

While all lenders can give a metro Atlanta buyer a pre approval based on a desktop underwriting (DU) decision, the metro Atlanta buyer receives the best service when he or she goes through a more thorough process of having the lender or mortgage broker review certain documents to better ascertain the ability to get mortgage financing. I as an agent owe it to my metro Atlanta buyers not to waste their time otherwise.

J W GroupHere is a list of the documents that are required by most lenders or mortgage brokers:

  • Copy of driver's license, passport or an acceptable form of identification
  • Copy of social security card or acceptable substitute
  • Proof of Income using paystubs for the last two to three months
  • Bank Statements for the last two to three months showing the income posted to the bank account and no over drafts or non sufficient funds charges
  • Tax Returns and W2's for the most recent two years, three years if self employed - the tax return income will be considered the true history of income so keep in mind the affect of deductions on your tax returns. The deductions lower your adjusted gross income which may mean you do not qualify for the $200,000 home but only the $150,000 home.
  • Financial Statements showing required cash for down payment and or closing costs and reserves
  • Bankruptcy paperwork with papers showing discharge
  • Letters of Explanation to explain gaps in employment, problems with credit and other situations that have negatively impacted the buyer's financial history
Once a metro Atlanta buyer makes a loan application and all of the documents are gathered and submitted to the lender or mortgage broker, the metro Atlanta buyer can get a very clear picture of his or her ability to afford a mortgage. NACA does a great job with this process. The metro Atlanta buyer takes a little longer to get the approval, but it is a solid loan commitment which makes the process of looking for a home much easier.
There are too many buyers getting disappointed nowadays due to the extensive guidelines involved with obtaining a mortgage. Before we go out looking for a home in metro Atlanta only to end up heart broken, let's get the loan commitment solidified and work towards a happy ending.

The instructor, Jackie, was organized, efficient, and willing to extend her instructional services even after the class was over. She did an excellent job showing her mastery of the ins and outs of Microsoft Access. But most of all her cooperative attitude and her enthusiasm while instructing us must be commended.

Whitney Houston....I Will Always Love You!

Thom Abbott-Search Midtown Atlanta Condo - Intown Atlanta GA Neighborhoods: Real Estate Brokerage in Atlanta, GA

The tributes will go on for days, maybe even weeks. Some may go on forever. We will hope that the troubles of recent times will not overshadow the wonders of times past. An amazing voice, an amazing talent.

We will see various performers try to do her songs again. Some will succeed and some will not. Her shoes maybe just to big to fill.

And there will be other types of tributes. Ones, thanks to the power of social media, we too can enjoy although we may never be able to travel as far as Dubai to see them live. We will hope they remain now for a long time.

This one certainly should.

Video of Another Vandalized Atlanta Foreclosure

Hank Miller, Broker & Certified Appraiser: Real Estate Agent in Alpharetta, GA

Here's a foreclosure home in the East Point area of Atlanta that has been picked clean - including into the walls. This is an example of one of the challenges faced by owners of vacant homes in Atlanta; vandalism is rampant and is costing owners - including lenders - big money.

For years, vacant homes have sat minus appliances and HVAC systems as those would disappear almost as quickly as they arrived, in some cases within a day. It's common in this market to have a stipulation that these will be installed the day prior to closing...and the seller will sit with fingers crossed to make it to the table intact. Investors will always be drawn to the REO and foreclosure inventory but we're seeing a demonstrated shift away for the "primary residence buyer". These buyers expect a bargain because they keep hearing Case-Shiller or some other media outlet reporting on crashing housing prices in Atlanta. The Atlanta housing market is not accurately reflected in those reports and we're seeing clear signs that many buyers in Atlanta are rapidly losing interest in foreclosures due to the nonsense. The lenders know where values are stabilizing, they're not giving anything away....
