Broomfield Real Estate: Home Buying and New Lenders

Broomfield Real Estate: Home Buying and New Lenders

If you are thinking about making a purchase on a home for sale in Broomfield Colorado, you might be looking for a new lender. Many agents will say that they do not know how to determine if a new lender they do not know is a good one, and this can be a tough thing to figure out. Here is a quick bunch of items to ask a new lender to determine if they are right for you as a home buyer in Broomfield Colorado.

First, do they quote interest rates without knowing the borrower's credit score, the amount of the loan that they will need, the amount of the down payment on the purchase, the type of property that they will handle their ownership (single family residence, condo townhouse), and what the buyer's credit score is at the present time.

Can the lender explain all of the closing costs, the amounts being charged, and for what the fees are applied to? They should also be able to explain the Truth-in-Lending Disclosure and any other disclosures to you as a future client. They should be approved by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA (Federal Housing Administration), VA (Veteran's Administration loan), and CHFA (Colorado Housing Finance Authority.

When meeting with any new lender, be aware that they should not charge you an application fee. Find out if they review the final numbers with you as the borrower the day before you close on your purchase. And will they attend the closing? Do they have "in-house" underwriting? When a lender has this resource, the process will move along much more quickly.

With the changes in the 2013 State of Colorado Contract to Buy Real Estate, both the appraisal and the underwriting processes have become a little more involved in the Inspection Resolution for the loan and what exactly will be resolved, in essence, will have to be approved by both of these professionals before your Broomfield real estate loan will be approved. How your Broomfield agent and your chosen mortgage lender handle the inspection part of your process to buy real estate will definitely affect whether you qualify for your loan.

Ask your prospective new lender what their process is for pre-approval. A good question to bring up with your lender is to ask them if they use Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac underwriting software to give pre-approvals, or do they manually check the mortgage insurance guidelines and investor guidelines before they can say for certain if your loan would be approved?

Choosing a mortgage lender that you feel comfortable with and you can trust with what will probably will be the biggest purchase you might make in your lifetime is not an easy thing to do. So take your time and listen to your Broomfield real estate agent and follow these guidelines discussed here, and good luck in your home search!

Broomfield Real Estate Message to Sellers: Showings are Essential!

After a weekend of showing homes in Broomfield, areas in Westminster just south of Broomfield, and some neighborhoods just east of I-25 in Thornton, I get the feeling that the descriptions and remarks often "puff up" the condition of these homes for sale and that professional looking real estate pictures in the Denver Metrolist (MLS), very often just do not show the true condition of the property. I cannot imagine what it would be like to purchase real estate in Broomfield without making a visual survey of the property, first. So having a showing appointment is still the best way to determine what the home has to offer. It is also the best way to feel out the sellers and their motivation to sell. These are the homeowners that have done everything right initially such as realizing the importance of keeping the home free of clutter and fixing anything that would project a bad image. They are motivated sellers until you try to schedule a showing on their home.

What I am running into lately is the problem with the refusals of showings on these listed properties that make it harder for people to buy, and consequently, harder for the homeowner to sell. If you have a home listed in Broomfield for sale, put your perspective in the eyes of the buyer for a minute and think what you would do if you were denied a showing or the restrictions made it too difficult to see the property? Almost always, the agent simply shows another home that they are able to arrange a showing appointment for the buyer, and if the home is viewed, and then liked, and then an offer comes forth, then that home will have a SOLD sign in the yard.

The long and the short of all of this is, if you are motivated enough to de-clutter, clean, hire a Broomfield real estate agent to market and promote the home you want to sell, then please make it available, then it will sell!

We are not like other real estate teams in the Denver area. We strive to provide great service and more than just that, we really care about you and your needs. We would love for you to call on us for experienced and professional services with Keller Williams in Broomfield real estate the company that is the leading choice for your home search and real estate goals.

Broomfield Home Buying and Interest Rates

Here is the question that, as an agent in Broomfield, I am definitely asked the most about. What are the current interest rates? I always tell this person the rate is at about...but it depends on a couple of things. Interest rates for home loans are subject to at least several components that factor the estimated amount of interest for the loan pricing agreement. The interest rate is not locked until a loan application is completed, a loan application fee is collected and the person obtaining the loan has signed a loan financing and pricing agreement. The kinds of things that affect your interest rate might include the loan program that you choose, your credit score, your loan to value ratio for the purchase, and other factors that may pertain to securing the loan. Broomfield CO Real Estate Information

Interest rates are constantly affected daily based on the market conditions that allow available money for the lending institutions. This fluctuation is based upon changes that are reported hourly, so the rate changes by the hour throughout the day. Knowing that rates change is a great advantage to anyone looking to obtain a mortgage loan for the purchase of real estate in Broomfield or the surrounding areas.  Consulting with a mortgage professional is the best way. Simply ask what the rate is for that day, and ask the lender to lock the rate when it appears to reach the lowest point for the day.

Getting a Mortgage in Broomfield for a Real Estate Purchase

What is it that people do not understand in today’s market about financing a loan to buy a house in our local Denver Broomfield Thornton Westminster real estate market? A lot! It is amazing when you ask people about financing and they do not understand or truly know the requirements for qualifying for a loan or what the terms of the mortgage loan financing is about. This is understandable, most people do not have contact with or follow the loan financing rules that are established and enforced within the industry. So quickly, let’s cover some of the common misconceptions about getting a mortgage in Broomfield or other metropolitan Denver areas.

Banks and loan institutions require 20% down for a mortgage loan. NO!!! If you are going to live in the home after you buy it, which is called owner occupancy, for a conventional loan, 5% down is all that  is needed for a conventional loan. For an FHA loan you only need 3.5% down payment.

I need to have the same job for 2 years! NO!!! You need to have a job today, and you need to prove that you have been in the same line of work for a while, but you do not need to show that you have had the same job for the last 2 years. 

Perfect credit is required to qualify for a loan. NO!!! You need a 640 FICO score to qualify for financing with most lenders, and depending on the lender and program, they might be able to go as low as 620. There is a lot of confusion when it comes to credit scores and FICO scores. You should be checking your FICO score, because it is the industry standard and it is being used for just about every evaluating system that is out there. You do not need to worry about other scoring systems.

I need to have thousands of dollars in the bank saved before I can buy a home. NO!!! You need to have the down payment for the purchase (unless you are getting it as a gift from a relative, and you might need some money for closing costs (unless the seller agrees to pay some or all of your costs for you). If you won multiple properties, then you will need to have money in the bank. In addition, there are local state programs that allow for down payment assistance for those who qualify. 

HUD recently re-instated the $100 down on Denver area homes REO properties that they list and these homes can be a great value for anyone looking to buy foreclosed real estate in Broomfield or any of the surrounding areas. You can view properties that are in foreclosure or distressed short sales homes listed when you view foreclosures in Broomfield Colorado.

Info on Buying a Condo for Sale in Broomfield CO

Living in a home in Broomfield Colorado is a great choice with the gorgeous mountains to enjoy and great shopping amenities. All of the walking trails and golf course communities available for use make for a lot of different options about where to live. There are quite a few neighborhoods in Broomfield that offer great 5 star schools and lots of Broomfield community churches for families to be involved in. But have you given any thought to buying a condominium in Broomfield Colorado? Some people prefer condos over houses, and here is why.

The easiest way to think of condominium ownership is to envision it as an apartment unit you own. With condominium ownership, the owner has control, unlike an apartment setting. You have the control to paint the walls the colors you like, install carpet the color you want, want hardwood in the bedroom? Do it! These can be your choices if you own a condo. Your ownership of a condominium extends inward from your interior walls, floors and ceilings. You are a partner with all of the other owners in the complex, of the exterior of the building structure. You share the community amenities such as the swimming pool, clubhouse, tennis courts and you might just build a new stable of friends because of this.

Other benefits include equity in the property, which can build with each payment that is made over months, unlike rent, in which you own nothing, even after years of making rent payments. Traditionally, buying real estate in Broomfield CO communities appreciate over time. Another potential benefit, depending on the individual situation, is the tax advantage that may be realized by home ownership. Of course, be sure to check with an accountant or financial advisor for more information.In some areas, a condominium may be the only consideration that fits within your budget. The reason for this is simple. In general, the same square footage will cost less purchasing a condominium than it will in a single family home or townhouse, largely because of the land cost. A contractor can develop a lot more condo units than they can single family homes on the same plot of land.

Compare condo prices to residential homes in Broomfield Colorado. The average selling price for a single family home in Broomfield for September 2011 was $332,385 as opposed to $210,883 for condo sales. You can see all the information on Broomfield CO Sold Homes Information on the Homewerks Keller Williams website. If you are looking to buy a condo in Broomfield Colorado, then you will get a place to live for substantially less, and with no commitment to mow the lawn or paint the exterior of the building!

One of the requirements of condominium ownership is the payment of a monthly condo fee to a home owner’s association. They will be responsible for general repairs and maintenance for the common areas of the complex as well as build up a cash reserve for future needs for the entire condominium subdivision. In general, all exterior maintenance and repairs are the responsibility of the condominium association, although you will be charged for them through your monthly condo fee through your association dues or a special assessment (a one time charge assessed to all owners for example, replacing the community fence surrounding the complex). The normal day-to-day maintenance of the grounds (some examples are mowing the lawn, snow removal and maintaining the pool) is also the responsibility of the association. Interior maintenance of your condo unit would be your individual responsibility and interior repairs and appliances are up to you to maintain and replace.

Feel free to contact Janelle Werkele 303-668-3111 or Shaun Werkele 303-250-4735 for more information on buying a Broomfield condominium and we will be glad to give our experience and knowledge in real estate homeownership and help you choose and purchase a home for sale in Broomfield or Westminster, Thornton, Brighton or any other metropolitan Denver area that you are interested in.

Sell Real Estate In Broomfield: Market vs. Negotiate?

In the real estate arena, working with a Realtor to sell a home in Broomfield CO raises some questions as to what is important in effectively getting a SOLD! home sign in the front yard. Often the persistent question that is in the forefront is, “ Do you need a real estate agent that is an expert at marketing, or do you need a great negotiator?”

We at Homewerks feel that, because, to put it plainly, if your home is not exposed widely and aggressively enough to lots of prospective buyers, you'll never have enough buyer viewings and offers that must come in for you to even be faced with the much desired obstacle of negotiating the price and terms of sale.

And I personally don't see marketing skills as the requirement so much as your listing agent having a clear, comprehensive marketing plan that they are able to present to you with case studies or specimens of marketing they have done for recent properties somewhat similar to yours. It's critical that an agent's marketing plan for your home include details such as:

• Help and advise you to prepare or stage your property for sale
• Plans for listing the home in the Denver Metrolist multiple listing service and publicizing it to other real estate agents and offices
• A plan for your home's listing to be placed online, down to which websites to market on and how many pictures, amenities descriptions and/or virtual tours in those ads to be included
• Active marketing to be used, such as open houses, door knocking, etc.
All essential. These are all important and necessary components of effectively listing a home for sale in Broomfield.

But negotiating is essential too, and here is why.

If you, as a seller, do not have enough equity in your home, or you are planning on using the profit proceeds of the sale for your new home, you're going to be faced with making the ultimate decision about what your bottom line sales price and possibly the other terms are, including whether you're able to offer home buyer incentives like closing cost concessions or whether you can afford to pay any of the repairs the buyer's inspectors require.

What we suspect sellers want is to feel like they are protected, which will come from having a trustworthy agent who is experienced and has knowledge of local standard negotiating practices and home buyer psychology. Your agent should have experience getting homes sold in today's real estate "climate."

I cannot emphasize enough that one efficient method of finding a top listing agent is to get referrals from family members, friends, work associates and neighbors. Talk with a nearby neighbor and ask them if they feel that their agent would be one they would recommend, and the reasons why.

If it's tough to get referrals, go into the various online real estate websites and see which local agents are the most prominent. See if they have a blog website for home sales in Broomfield and see if the content of the articles give sensible, knowledgeable answers to topics that are of importance to the consumer. During your interview process, ask for references and call them! Speak to the listing agent about their recent past seller clients, to see how happy they were with the agents' service.

At the end of the day, an expert agent is good at both marketing and negotiating, and pricing and experience and trustworthiness are all qualities for a great listing real estate agent with Keller Williams,or any other of the reputable real estate companies out there.
