What is a gift letter?

If someone is willing to make a gift of funds in order for you to purchase a Kalamazoo & Portage Michigan home, lenders will ask for a gift letter stating that no repayment of the "gift" is expected. The amount of the gift and the date funds were transferred should be spelled out in the letter, along with the donor's name, address, telephone number and relationship to the borrower.
In addition to the letter, a lender can ask for two or three months' worth of statements for the account where the down payment funds are located. If the money was recently placed into that account, the lender may ask where it came from and request verification of that source as well.
 
Selling your Kalamazoo, MI home - The 3 P's of Success | Print |  E-mail
Written by Joel Nelson   

What does it take to sell a home in today's buyers market in Kalamazoo MI?

It Takes The Three P's;


1.  Product.  That's your house.  After your home is on the market, it is a product.  It is inventory.  Part of the chain of supply vs. demand.


2.  Presentation That is the marketing I provide when you choose me to sell your home.

That marketing includes:

* Keys to maximizing 'curb appeal' to capture the interest of more buyers
* Unique & effective techniques to reach busy, discriminating buyers
I have 64 point marketing plan that includes a focus on web based marketing, because that is where the buyers are.  The National Association of Realtors has discovered in a recent survey that over 80% of home buyers begin their search for a new homes in Kalamazoo on the Web.
  
3.  Price.  There is no getting around it, price is critical in a buyers market.  Home buyers and their Kalamazoo area real esate agents are ignoring all but the best buys.  But homes ARE selling. 

Imagine what would happen if your house was perfectly clean, staged properly, and set up to make the absolute finest first impression it could make but it was overpriced.  Home buyers may remember how nice it was, but don't expect offers.

All of the marketing in the world won't get your house sold if it's overpriced.  Dangling a price that is too high for the market just won't work today. 

I can help save you time, energy and stress in selling your home for the highest amount of money the market will bring.  Whenever you're ready, I can schedule a no-obligation meeting to discuss your options by phone or in person.
