I am interested to search for a cheap home. Do you find a cheaper home buying it from the owner before the owner goes bankrupt or do you contact the mortgage company or do you find a cheaper home to contact the bank after they repossess it or how would you find the best buy? It would not be a concern if the house was new and not finished.

I want to start a new life and i need a fresh start. When i was younger i stupidly borrowed so much money and i was unable to pay, therefore leaving me with no option but to declare bankruptcy. I was discharged in January 2009. I got my credit file and i have quite alot of defaults etc. I was advised that these will be removed after a period of 6 years from when i got the default. This will mean that they will be removed this year. I would like to apply for a mortgage but i recently have 3 or 4 new defaults. I was thinking of paying them small amounts as i cant afford much more than that. Will the mortgage lender hold the current defaults against me on my application or would there be more chance of being accepted for a mortgage if i have made agreement with them to pay a small amount per month? On the file it does say whether an agreement has been made to pay the debt or not. One in question is for a large amount and the other few only small amounts. At least i would show that im making an offer. I just really want a mortgage.

The resources for advice on ways to buy a home and find a real estate agent are endless. These materials are usually lacking in specifics and are not as helpful as they could be to a buyer. The generalized advice in these resources can confuse a buyer more than help them. Many of these resources lack adequate information to provide to a buyer in order for them to make an informed decision.

Buying a home is a very important step in people’s lives. Many people spend their life savings on a down payment then spend the next 30 years paying off a mortgage. Finding a real estate agent who has their best interests in mind, like an exclusive buyers agent, would be highly beneficial to the buyer. No one wants to work so hard for something and have an agent who does not fully represent them involved in the deal. This is not a process to be taken lightly.

Some resources recommend using only referrals from friends to find a real estate agent. Word of mouth is a good source for most decisions, but it is questionable whether or not it should be the sole decision-making source of what is most likely the buyer’s biggest financial transaction of their life. Along with getting referrals from friends, a buyer can search the Internet for sites that have free lists of real estate agents who comply with a specific list of criteria. This list of criteria may include the following:

* Specialization in working only with buyers, such as an exclusive buyers agent

* Foreclosure and short sale knowledge

* High levels of experience, education and designations

* Association memberships that carry published standards of practice as well as a code of ethics

* Ratings by other consumers

Additionally, home buyers should carefully evaluate educational designations such as ABR, CRS, Green, and GRI. ABR stands for Accredited Buyer Agent and requires licensees to attend several days of classes on how to best work with buyers. CRS is Certified Residential Specialist. This designation quires quite a bit of work to complete and is for those agents who specialize in residential verses commercial sales. GRI stands for Graduate Realtor Institute, and requires many hours of schooling and certain types of transactions before being awarded. Only about 5% of all licensed agents attain the GRI.

Should those buying a home also use a real estate agent who is a REALTOR? Over 99% of all active real estate agents are Realtors because that membership provides access to the tools needed to help people who are buying a home. “Realtor” is a trademarked term owned by the National Association of Realtors that simply means that broker is a member of that association. State associations typically require membership in the national one. Local boards of real estate professionals are usually the ones who manage the multiple listing service (MLS), and they in turn typically require membership in the state association. Real estate agents must have access to the MLS in order to search for the 80% or more of properties that are in this system, so yes, you should probably be looking for a REALTOR. Additionally and more importantly, this real estate agent who is a REALTOR should also do a good job of keeping inventories of for sale by owner properties so the buyer has full access to all properties for sale.

If a buyer chooses to only get a real estate agent referral from their friends, then they are not using 90% of the selection tools available to them. It is critical for the buyer to think carefully about the first step of buying a home and select a real estate agent who will give them complete buyer representation. After all, buying a home is one of the largest financial decisions a person may make in their lives. It should be taken seriously. Following a complete decision-making process with result in a positive real estate buying experience for a buyer.
