I'm mostly a listing agent so I don't work with many buyers these days....back when I sold Real Estate in NY...I spent more time with buyers but that was then and this is now.
I received a referral from out of state Keller Williams agent. I met with the buyers and asked them questions so I would know exactly what they were looking for. I found out that they were approved for an FHA loan. At first....they requested to see all REO's and foreclosures. Now that's fine when you're dealing with a buyer and a conventional loan but its virtually impossible for them to purchase these types of homes because of the FHA guidelines regarding inspections. I advised my clients that they have absolutely no protection and that they basically were at the mercy of the bank or holding company.
I met with them and showed them one of these properties in good faith and then I brought in an addendum with a laundry list so long it had to be printed on two pages.
I have them set up on an automatic responder that is set up to send them a link to any property that comes on the market or changes it status. I've probably sent them over 100 prospects...yet they've only had 1 choice so far and I plan on showing them the property tomorrow.
They're also are a bit antsy right now because they were hoping to take advantage of the $8,000 credit.

Any suggestions? Probably not.
I also failed to mention they also require the seller to pay some of their closing costs.
I'm willing to keep looking for them but they don't have many to chose from and I think that these types of homes are more tailored for the conventionalloan , cash buyer or an investor.
I understand the concept but with inventory levels cut in half and less normal opportunities out there......it's making it very difficult for a consumer to purchase a home in my area.
The moral to this story is if you're a consumer...ask your Realtor® these questions.....maybe they can help you.

Hollywood FL condos for sale-Canadians are coming to Hollywood Beach FL
Hollywood Beach FL
Hollywood FL condos near the beach
September is the start of when our snowbirds and tourists start
returning to our sunshine state. Snow fall will be forthcoming and this is the time for them to start their holiday vacations and what better than to spend it in our very warm and comfortable climate. The weather in Hollywood Beach FL has been overcast and in the 90's but in the fall it's usually comfortable and virutally less in humidity.
With such an inflated amount of condos for sale in Hollywood FL
....."it is an excellent time buy a home." Prices have come down quite a bit over the last 3 years and inventory levels have reached all time highs. But there was one thing we discovered.
Inventory over the last few years has been properties that are on the verge of foreclosure ..while many others have gone the route of trying to have a Realtor® negotiate a short sale. Banks are trying to give the sellers the option of negotiating a short sale to save both parties thousands of dollars and save the owners from going into foreclosure. The biggest issue with these types of transactions is the waiting time. Most will take anywhere from 3-12 months. But don't fret...there are still some properties available that can be had without all those hassles...you just have to search for them....and finding a good agent to send you properties is the key and the Bloom and Kohn Team of Keller Williams Properties can help you with that. All you have to do is send us an email request with the property criteria search you are looking for.
As of today...the Canadian dollar exchange rate
have been holding right below $1.00. That is still good news for our past,present and future clients. In general .."it is a great time to buy a home in Hollywood Beach FL." Currently..there are over 15,000 condos/townhomes on the market throughout Broward County...... about 1,400 of them are Condos/Town-homes in Hollywood FL.
Take a strol on the fully renovated board walk...stop by a restuarant or just grab a pizza.
Come visit the beach of Hollywood
FL today.
You will be glad you looked at all the opportunities available.
