PRE-QUALIFICATION


Have a Loan Ready:
Click on the Bell and Start Your Pre-Qual _Process...

Dear First Time Home Buyer,

It is very common that the sellers, when they receive an offer for the purchase of their home, they require that the buyer(s) have an approved loan.

When the buyer(s) are able to present, with an offer to purchase a home, a letter from a lender stating that they have a loan approved, they will have better chances of obtaining the property against those who have not an approved loan. The sellers does not want to open an escrow that have good chances of no closing.

So, the first thing we strongly recommend our buyer(s) is to have a loan approved. You can start right now. It is easy, click on the web-site below, (or on the bell) and fill most of the requested information.

Sincerely,


Oscar Alfred Barker - Broker - 626.290.6569


The Job of the Appraiser:

THE JOB OF THE APRRAISER

The answer to this question is in fact very simple: the Appraiser will establish, from the lender point of view, what is the actual value of the property, because the house is going to be the guarantee of the loan that the buyer needs to obtain in order to buy your home. The lender will not lend the money to the buyer if the value found of the property is lower than the agreed price in the purchase contract. In other words, the transaction will collapse.

To understand the importance of the appraisal, it is good to have a good idea of what happens to the loan after escrow is closed:

  1. The loan will be sold in the Secondary Market,  to institutions such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. This will provide to the lenders or banks with new money to make more loans.
  2. Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac will make large bundles of these loans that will be offered to investor of Wall Street. These securities, that are backed up by  mortgages, will be sold around the world. The companies that would buy these bundles are Insurance Companies, International Banks and Retirement Funds of Europe.
This explains the purpose of the appraisal: which is to ensure that the loan that the buyer of your property is obtaining, is fully backed up and can be sold in the markets above mentioned.
Inspect Your Home:

HOME INSPECTIONS

Homebuyers can perform the following inspections to the home they are buying:     
  1. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF THE PROPERTY, ALL SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS.  
  2. LOT AND PROPERTY SIZE. 
  3. TERMITE AND PEST INSPECTION. 
  4. SOIL STABILITY.  ROOF CONDITIONS. 
  5. SEWER INSPECTION.  WATER AND UTILITIES, WELLS AND COMPONENTS. 
  6. ENVIROMENTAL PROBLEMS  EARTHQUAKE AND FLOOD ZONES  FIRE HAZARD AND OTHER INSURANCE ISSUES. 
  7. PERMITS, ZONNING AND GOVERMENTAL REQUIREMENTS.  
  8. SECURITY AND SAFETY.·       
  9. NEIGHBORHOOD, AREA, SUBDIVISION; 

 

PERSONAL FACTORS

We strongly recommend to our clients that they make all the corresponding inspection to the home they are buying, because it is very difficult to fully assess a home with only the initial inspection they make when the first saw the home. Our objective is that you buy a home that you know how the systems of the house are operating. Our objective is one to establish a long  term relationship with our clients. This will be obtained when you are satisfied with our services. If you are satisfied you will recommend us to your family, friends and co-workers.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call 653 0334 any day of the week and ask for Oscar Alfred Barker. If when you call we are not available, please leave your message. I promise I will return your call.
