"“Joel is by far the best real estate agent you can find. He was always letting me know of houses that met my requirements. This took months, but he was patient and never forced me into anything, or made me feel pressured. He actually liked showing me houses and was always the first to point out issues that I may have with it. He took a good amount of time to find out what I really wanted. When I finally found the house I wanted, I had to move fast. Joel kept up, with no issues, which really helped me during a rather stressful period. Then I had to sell my old house. Joel knew the area, priced it right and made some simple recommendations to get it to move fast. In a market where houses sat on average for 6-9 months, Joel had my house sold in 2 weeks, for a price I was expecting. It's not often you get to buy or sell a home, but I will definitely use Joel again when the time comes.” October 14, 2007 Top qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity"

Joel Friday answered:
Amber,

As the others have said, finding out what you can afford is the first step. Next think about how much work you are willing to put into the home. The foreclosed homes and short sales tend to need some work. Are you ready to learn or do you already know how to fix up various aspects of a home. Paint and carpet are one thing, but many need a new roof, siding windows, etc.. These items will cost more when you pay others to do them for you.

You also may qualify for the first time buyers credit of $8000 which is available if you close by 12-1-2009. This is a great time to buy.

I have a copy of the Realtors Home Buying Guide that I could send you. I am also located in Coon Rapids and have lived in the area most of my life.

They are actually doing some loan modifications so that would probably be a better route to look into right now. Call the bank and see what they can do as they arehave incentive to keep you in your home.

Joel Friday answered:
It is your risk as the sale could fall through. If it is a nominal amount and you accept the risk, I would say go ahead. Reasons the sale could fall through are lost job, rising interest rates, etc. You aren't allowed to hire a contractor as that could create a lean on the home, but in this case you are not hiring the contractor, simply paying the difference. - Fri Jun 26 2009, 13:03

Jaime,

According to the MLS the listings expired with out being sold. I could do some additional research if you would like me to. Looks like a great renovation caught in the downturn of the market. - Wed Jun 17 2009, 06:09

Joel Friday answered:
Have your agent call the other broker to resolve this, they may also want to have their broker call the other broker. Otherwise you may have to take this to court. Let us know how you come out. - Tue Jun 16 2009, 14:32
