For those that are looking to learn more about our current real estate market and what options are available for you as a first time buyer, feel free to come out to our FREE seminar on April 16th. 

Space is limited at these events and they do usually fill up so please register ahead of time by calling me directly at 763-242-6303 OR email to Rob@MnRealEstateTeam.com.

We have all heard by now about the $8000 credit that is available for first time home buyers right now. But what most do not know is that there also other programs out there that offer such things as down payment assistance as well as a reduction in monthly payments. These programs are tailored to be specific to certain areas of town but if you are looking in one of these areas they can be a great way for that new family to get into their first home.

Most people simply do not know about these programs because their lender either does not have the product available in their list that they work with OR they are simply uninformed about them. These programs can be a great way to help boost our economy and get more people into their first home. 

As a buyer you need to be educated as to your options that are available and with these options changing almost daily it makes sense to work with a mortgage lender that is consistently staying on top of these changes and can help direct you to the best product that fits your situation. Get educated, ask questions and most of all know what your are getting.

If you are interested in working with one of the top lenders in the Twin Cities area Cornerstone Mortgage, that really knows everything there is to know about first time buyer programs, please do not hesitate to click on the link OR contact me directly and I can get you in touch with them.

Thank you

We have many locations in the Twin Cities where both of these builders have developments. They seem to be no different than any of the smaller builders except that they are both losing money at an alarming rate. These companies have decided to join forces rather go it alone moving forward.

Both of these companies have a foothold in our community in many areas and together they will be able to better survive until the unstable market that we are in turns around and with this merger the decision was made to keep the Pulte name.

Spring is here and with that there seems to be a lot of activity with showings on currently listed properties. This is evident with the fact that home sales are up 21% in March.

If you are thinking of getting into the buying market either as a personal residence OR an investment property, there really is no better time to do so. Interest rates are very low and if you qualify as a first time home buyer there is another $8000 credit to be had.

Most buyers are out on the internet doing there own daily search for properties where they plug in certain criteria that they are looking for in a home and then view the results that are provided. However, what most do not realize is that not only are they NOT viewing everything that is actually available to them but that they are also many times viewing properties that are already sold. The internet sites take time to update and because of this you will never know for sure if the property is even still on the market.

What can you do about this..?? I have te ability to set up a specific saved search for you that is done right through the MLS system that we as real estate agents use. Once this search is set up (and it can be modified very quickly and easily) properties that match your criteria and get listed new on the market OR get reduced to a price that falls within your price range will be automatically sent to you via email. No typing in search criteria each day or wondering if it is available or not. Again, this is automatic and saves you a lot of time. If you are at work and a property that is perfect for you gets listed at noon you will get an email right away that it just came onto the market which will allow you to be one of the first to see it. This service is absolutely FREE.

Please contact me directly if you would like this set up for you.

Thank you.
