Equal Housing Opportunity

President Lyndon Johnson lead a vigorous campaign through the halls of Congress that lead to Fair Housing legislation. The Republican Party members in Congress backed Fair Housing, while most of the congressional Democrat Party members opposed Fair Housing. Johnson, a Democrat, worked the phones day and night, calling congressional Democrats, calling in favors that persuaded enough Democrats to cross party lines and vote for Fair Housing, and against their party leaders.

Good Credit Is Essential

You May Be Surprised, Even Shocked To Find Out That Most Credit Reports Are Incorrect

I don't know about you, but when I walk into a store, my instinct tells me to pull my wallet from my pocket, look inside, to be sure I have some cash and my debit card.

I have teenage daughters. Like all teens, they make regular withdrawls from "Bank Of Dad" without notice. So knowing I had $40 cash yesterday is meaningless.

Bank Of Dad - A Lending Institution Ever Since I Can Remember

When you and I buy homes, we need to check our wallets first, to see how much home we can afford.

So get a referral from me, or a friend to a competent loan officer, arrange an appointment, and sit down with your loan officer to see how much you can afford.

Your buying power is based upon your income, less your regular debts, with assets (cash) in savings or investments as a compensating factor.

When your loan officer reviews your credit reports with you, you WILL find errors. Errors that may pull your credit score down. Fix them, and your credit score will bounce up quickly.

Correcting Credit Report Errors


Here is a note from my favorite loan officer that explains how you can correct credit report errors.

If your clients' credit ratings are suffering because of mistakes on their credit report, it is their right to have them corrected at no cost.

Credit bureaus are legally required to investigate disputed information by contacting the creditor that originally supplied them with the information. Keep in mind that the three major credit bureaus - Experian, Equifax and Trans Union - usually have the same information for each consumer file, but not always.

Your clients need to contact only the bureau that shows an error.

Factual information cannot be removed from a credit report, and the credit bureaus will not automatically remove information from your clients' reports just because they dispute it.

Your clients have to prove that information is wrong with supporting documentation before a credit bureau will correct a report.

Under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACT Act), a credit bureau must remove or modify a disputed item within 30 days if it is found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable after a reasonable investigation.

Contact information for the three major U.S. credit bureaus:
Experian
P.O. Box 2002
Allen, TX 759013
(888) 397-3742
www.experian.com
Equifax
P.O. Box 740241
Atlanta, GA 30374
(800) 685-1111
www.equifax.com
Trans Union
P.O. Box 1000
Chester, PA 19022
(800) 888-4213
www.transunion.com

At www.annualcreditreport.com, your clients can request a free credit report once every 12 months from each of the credit-reporting companies listed above.

Homes For Sale In Woodbridge And Woodbridge Real Estate News

Dear Woodbridge Home Shoppers

I've Got To Get This Humble Apology Off My Chest Before I Explode

Woodbridge Homes For Sale And Woodbridge Real Estate News

I humbly apologize to my current customers who are shopping for a home under $450,000.

I owe a special apology to you if your lender says you qualify for a home priced $400,000 or higher, but you have limited yourself to shopping for a home priced $250,000 and below.

I am sorry for simply agreeing with your choice to be conservative, instead of telling you the truth about buying a home priced under $250,000, vs buying a home $400,000 and above.

You see, I am among the few agents who actually LISTEN to what a buyer wants, then helps that buyer stay within their guidelines.

If you qualify for $500,000, but you are careful with your money, so you prefer buying a home priced $250,000 and below, the traditional real estate sales person typically tries to "push" you to buy a home near your qualification limit of $500,000, and ignores your decision to shop under $250,000.

When I shop, I do not like "pushy" sales people who try to push me toward the highest-priced item.

So I do not do that to my customers.

If you qualify for $1 million, but you want to buy $250,000 and below, that is where we shall go. You will not get pressur from me to go one dime over $250,000 if that is your limit.

Here is the situation... I am currently helping a lot of folks shop for a home. Among those folks are buyers who qualify for a home priced up to $500,000. They want a home priced under $250,000, so that is where we are shopping.

I humbly apologize for failing to share with you the distinctions between the market for home priced under $250,000, vs homes priced $325,000 to $500,000.

I apologize for letting you get your brains beaten-in because you have bid on two or three houses, and lost all of them to higer bids.

I apologize for failing to tell you that we have 10-12 buyers ready to pounce on any home priced under $250,000, in good condition, the day it goes up for sale.

Sadly, most homes priced under $250,000 are neglected, shabby foreclosures that need work.

Homes under $250,000 typically need paint, carpet, appliances, and a new heat/AC system before you may comfortably inhabit the house.

I apologize for failing to tell you that you can get a home priced $325,000 - $500,000 that is NOT A DUMP, that will not sell in a bidding war, that you can get without going $20,000 - $40,000 over the list price.

Homes priced $400,000+ are typically neat, clean, loved, and in move-in condition.

Shabby foreclosed homes priced $400,000+ are rare.

Homes selling over $400,000 are often owner-occupied, clean, and staged like a model home.

In closing, know that I shall not get "pushy" with you, trying to push your price limit higher, but I shall commence sharing the distinctions between the home markets under $250,000 vs homes priced over $325,000.

You are the decision maker. You choose your fate. I owe you the information you need to compare bang-for-the-buck for homes under $250,000 vs homes priced over $325,000.
