Homebuyer Incentives from HomeSteps

What a great offer if you’re considering homeownership as a first time home buyer or if you are simply trading up or down.  

This particular program is from May 16, 2011 – July 31, 2011 with escrow closed on or before September 30, 2011.

Freddie Mac will offer homebuyers and select non-profits an exclusive opportunity to purchase HomeSteps homes prior to competition from investors through the Freddie Mac First Look Initiative.  This on-going initiative offers owner occupant homebuyers, Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) grantees and non-profits engaged in community stabilization efforts the ability to purchase HomeSteps homes during their initial 15 days of listing, without competition from investors.  The purchaser does not need to be a first time homebuyer to be eligible provided, however, that they are buying the home as their primary residence.

HomeSteps SmartBuy^SM is a home purchase program that offers:

• A limited two-year HomeProtect® Home Warranty [PDF]
• Up to 30% savings* on new appliances

*Certain restrictions, limitations, terms and conditions apply. See HomeSteps SmartBuy Terms and Conditions for further details. 

Homebuyer Incentive**

• Up to 3.5% actual buyer's closing cost
• 2-Year HomeProtect Limited Home Warranty***

**HomeSteps homebuyer incentives are available to owner-occupants only.
***Terms, conditions and limitations apply. Not all homes or borrowers will qualify. See http://www.homesteps.com/smartbuy for details.

Of course this involves lending and there are many terms, conditions and limitations.  Be sure to check those out.  If you’re interested and we can help in the greater Austin or Highland Lakes areas, give us a call.

First Time Home Buyers - A Great Experience for the Realtor, too!

Wow, how easy it is to forget how exciting it can be to work with someone who is a first time home buyer. I have worked with several over the last couple of weeks and it is truly re-energizing for me.   I have worked with several both in the Austin and the Highland Lakes areas.

How rewarding to see the joy, excitement (and a little apprehension!) from a first time home buyer! It reminds me of how we should all be every day - intrigued, energized, excited, open to new feelings and ideas, yet aware of all aspects of everyday life.

I am grateful to have worked with these clients lately, it helps to keep me grounded and reminds me why I do what I do. Real Estate is a time consuming business. It is often hard to balance your own family life with helping other families. I am very fortunate to have a very supportive husband and son who make it possible for me to do what I love.

It can be a wonderful and rewarding experience to help people buy a home they love, to help them through the process, to educate them about our market and get them the best possible deal in the process. How exciting is that??!!

Awesome job!

Let me know if my Team and I can send you a FREE First Time Home Buyers Booklet with lots of great information about the process.  Thinking of buying your first home in the Austin area?  Thinking of buying your first home in the Highland Lakes area?   Give us a call or send us an email.
