How We Fill Our Houses
We want to fill our properties with deserving families so when we get a new property in the area you are looking, we’ll send you an email. But here’s the rub… we have a lot of people like you who are actively looking for a home and we get more every day. So, when we get a new home for sale, those homes move pretty quickly.
The problem for us was… how can we be fair about this… and we thought about it for a long time. Who should we notify about our new properties first?
Should first notice go to the people who are on our list the longest, the ones who are ready to buy “right now,” the ones we think will qualify in the shortest period of time… on and on we went with this and we finally came up with what I think is a pretty fair solution.
We just send the email to everyone at the same time and then it’s “first come, first serve.” Nothing else matters. First family who wants it, gets it.
The Process
Now you may not feel comfortable acting quickly in the beginning and we sure aren’t going to push you. We let you tell us when you’re ready to go. What happens most of the time is, at first, when folks become “Registered Buyers” they take their time, they look at the properties we have for sale, they let a few pass them by because they weren’t exactly what they were looking for or they want to get comfortable with the process.
But then… after a while, our “Registered Buyers” start getting comfortable. They see what is available for the money they can afford, they get to know the different neighborhoods and they get comfortable with us and realize that we are for real and that we do what we say we do and then… that is when they feel comfortable about making an offer on a house on very short notice.
We won’t push you… only you know if the house is right for you. If it’s not, just wait… you may not get that one, but we are always getting new hoses. We don’t want you to be a hasty buyer… only you know your comfort zone.
So… as soon as you get your official “Buyer Registration And Qualification” email, we will start sending you properties to look at. Sometimes we may only have one or two a week… other times, we will have 15 or 20 a week. It all depends on how many houses we bought.
Find Your Dream Home
So… we’ll email you the address of the property and a brief description of it. If it looks interesting to you at all, we encourage you to go see it immediately. Drive to those home to look at them. Get out of your car, walk around the home, look through the windows, check out the neighborhood!
We find that 75% of the time, you can tell if a house is for you by looking at the exterior and the yard and the neighborhood… or maybe it’s more accurate to say that you can tell that it’s NOT for you, by looking at the outside.
If it looks interesting to you, then it’s time to take action and call us. One of our people will schedule a time that is convenient for you both and show you the property. They will get you inside so you can look around at your leisure… check out the condition; get a feel for the size and the layout.
Then, just sit down on the couch or the floor and soak it in and decide if this house feels like home. If it does… if it pushes your buttons… and you’ll know when it does… something magic happens when you find a house that you know is going to be YOUR home. When you decide, then it’s time to take the next step.
Before I go any further, let me ask you for a favor in advance. If you drive to the house without one of our representatives, please do NOT knock on the door. Someone may be living in the house… it may be the previous owner who hasn’t moved out yet, it may be a tenant who is entitled to their privacy.
Please, I ask again, do not disturb the tenant. It just creates lots of problems for us because we have so many people looking at these properties… it’s not fair to those folks if people are knocking on their door all day.
“We Want It!”
Okay… let’s move to the next step. It’s time to fill out the paperwork. When you meet with our representative to view the property, they will bring all of the necessary paperwork. When you say, “We want it!”…our representative will fill it out and explain it to you.
It explains the move-in date, the price, the terms, the monthly payment, the length of the option and it lays out who is responsible for what, in the agreement and what happens if one of us defaults on the agreement. One of the valuable things we do is treat you like the owner as soon as you move in.
We pretty much trust you to take care of the property like it was yours… after all, you are buying it… you just haven’t got the deed yet. It is in our best interest to see you succeed in the purchase of this home and that, by the way, is how we make the most money. It’s also a lot of fun to have happy campers around.
Now… If you don’t understand the paperwork, please feel free to take it to your attorney before you sign it. We will NOT pressure you to buy. We want you to be 100% comfortable with your decision. This is a legally binding agreement and you only want to sign it if you are fully and completely aware of what you are agreeing to.
Our representative has the authority to okay you as the new buyer of the home, but the only way the agreement is sealed is when you transfer the funds for the “Lease Option Fee” and the first month’s payment. We only accept certified funds to activate the purchase agreement… for example a wire transfer, a cashiers check or a certified check… we can not take cash.
The reason we do this is because we don’t want to tie up the property in an agreement with someone who ends up not being able to come up with the money or who needs more time to make a decision. We may have others waiting in line for a chance at that property and it’s not fair to them if we let someone tie up a property without being truly serious or capable of closing.
Don’t Miss Out
As I mentioned before, it really is “first come, first served.” With that said, you might want to drive to your bank with our representative, right then and there when you sign the agreements and have a cashiers check drawn up to “secure” the property for you and culminate the deal.
With all that said about “Securing” the property… just remember, that we don’t want you to feel pressured to make a decision before you are ready… we will always get more properties next week if you aren’t 100% sure of this one.
Well, that’s it. I hope I’ve answered all of your questions. If not, feel free to email us. The only thing you need to do to get started is just to scroll down the page and fill out the online form. It asks a few basic questions, gets your contact information and helps us get you on the right path.
Hopefully, the things you’ve learned from this program has convinced you that what we offer is real, that we are real people with a desire to help you achieve your goals. I tell all of the people who work with me that, as a company, we are here to solve problems. “The more people we help, the more money we make.”
Yes, we are in it for the money… this isn’t a charity, but it’s funny how the more you give, the more you get. It’s Karma and the Golden Rule all rolled up together. We will do our best to help you find your dream home… but now it’s your turn… it’s time for you to take action.
Click here and fill out the “Buyer Questionnaire.” It will only take 30 seconds… that can change your life. As soon as you do, the wheels start turning and our little machine goes into action for you exactly as I laid it out.
Remember, this “Buyer Registration” is 100% free. You are not obligated to buy our properties in any way… as a matter of fact, we don’t want you to buy our properties if they aren’t right for you.
Thank you for reading this (rather long) web page. Your dream of homeownership can finally be realized if you just take action and get started now by filling out the form.
Whatever you decide, I wish you the very best of all good things.
Best Wishes,
Toby Hanson
