BUYERS....BE PREPARED TO JUMP ON IT!

Right now, in the Denver real estate market, we are experiencing a much lower inventory of homes available for purchase. So, the question is: how do buyers stay ahead of the game?   Buyers NEED TO BE PREPARED NOW, more than ever with a prequalification on a mortgage loan.  

Also, non-conventional loans (such as FHA, CHFA and rehab loans) are another time-sensitive issue.  They usually need to be reviewed by investors or underwriters so they can take up to several days.  It may take a self-employed borrower, for example, a few days to get pre-approved and  while waiting, it could cost you the home.         

Another thing to keep in mind is that something as simple as offering a seller a quicker closing time than another buyer bidding on the same house, just may give you the advantage over your competition. To do this, you need to make sure you understand exactly what the lender needs from you upon preapproval so you can be ready throughout the rest of the home buying process.

In conclusion, even if you aren’t buying for a few months, you need to be ready now.  So if you are currently looking at properties without first getting pre-approved, trust us when we say that you are likely to find “THE ONE” and you are even more likely to lose out on it.  Get pre-approved so that you can be prepared to JUMP ON IT!

“Yes, there are a handful of great mortgage brokers here in Denver, but it’s not easy to find one whom we really trust to get the job done well for our clients. The Blake Team has been working with Tom Yoswa for years and he knows how to get our clients set up with mortgage loans that best suit each of their unique needs. This is crucial, especially in a Seller’s Market”. — Whitney Hill, REALTOR at The Blake Team

Lisa Blake Builds Expertise in Luxury Home Market

Lisa Blake with The Blake Team in Colorado recently completed a luxury home marketing training course offered by The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing.

The course – which covered such topics as demographics of the affluent, lifestyle segmentation, trends and amenities in today’s luxury home product, and creating a marketing plan for the multimillion dollar property – was taught by Laurie Moore-Moore, President of the Dallas-based Institute for Luxury Home Marketing and author of the book, Rich Buyer, Rich Seller! The Real Estate Agents’ Guide to Marketing Luxury Homes.

“The course is a step towards earning the prestigious Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) 

designation which The Institute awards internationally to sales professionals who meet performance standards in the upper-tier residential market,” said Moore-Moore. Lisa Blake is an example of a sales associate who works to hone the special skills and competencies necessary to provide exceptional service in the fine homes and estates marketplace.”

Blake is the Founder and CEO of The Blake Team, an award-winning real estate team specializing in the Greater Denver market since 2004.  Over nearly a decade, The Blake Team’s success has ranked them No. 18 in the nation out of all Real Estate brokerages and has ranked Lisa the #1 Keller Williams agent in all of Colorado. Lisa attributes this to her team and their collective expertise, systems and technology.

“The training provided new insight about the upper tier market as well as valuable networking contacts across the country who also specialize in luxury properties” said Blake “In addition, I discovered new and creative tools for promoting premier homes and estates and new resources for finding buyer prospects.  I feel that home buyers and sellers will benefit from our new knowledge.”
