About Me
Hi, I live in Springboro, Ohio and have lived in the area all my life. I can give you information that will help you make good decisions about buying or sellting your next home. I believe people need and want information and advice, rather than being pressured into making a decision. I am a real estate consultant rather than a sales person. With my experience and knowledge, I can help you with every step of the transaction. And I pledge to give you service unmatched by any other. Your wants, needs and wishes always come first with me. Let me show you around the South Dayton area including Springboro, Lebanon, Franklin, Waynesville, Monroe, Middletown and other surrrounding areas. We will find the home that you will fall in love with!
Testimonials
"You earned my business and my referrals in the future.... You knew we wanted that house and you sacrificed your commission to do the right thing. I am sure now you know it was the right thing to do. Our family appreciates more than you know how you did what probably only a select few Realtors would do. Thank you for all you have done for me and for my family. ."

A, Home Buyer in Ohio

If a hud home says it has Incentives Owner Occupants Only...

Asked Sat Jul 19 2008, 16:27 by A  -  Ohio  -  Home Buying  -  4 answers
Mary Starkey answered:
Buying a HUD home can only be done through an approved Realtor and you have to place your bid online. HUD is offering ispecial ncentives to owner occupied homebuyers but not investors. You can by a HUD home for $100 down and HUD will pay $2500 to be used for closing cost or on the principal to reduce your mortgage amount. Closing cost include title search, mortgage applications, appraisals, and other cost required by the mortgage company. www.nhmsi.com gives you more information on how to purchase a HUD home and is the place where you place your bid. If you have any more questions, just ask! - Sat Jul 19 2008, 16:39
Brian, Home Buyer in Avon Lake

How can I get a look at a Real Estate Owned home? Can I call my agent or do I have to get a hold that bank?

Asked Fri Jul 18 2008, 04:56 by Brian  -  44012  -  Home Buying  -  4 answers
Mary Starkey answered:
The bank owns the home but has it listed for sale with a real estate company. The only way to view the house is through a real estate agent. So, go ahead and call your agent. I am sure he/she will be glad to show you the home. - Fri Jul 18 2008, 05:17
Tina, Home Buyer in Alliance

i am interested in using streamline too, is it true that you can use 203k to purchase the home?i found a hud

Asked Wed Jul 16 2008, 03:41 by Tina  -  Alliance  -  Home Buying  -  3 answers
Mary Starkey answered:
If you really want this home, then I would offer at least 80% of the asking price. I was told by an associate Realtor in our company who lists HUD homes that 80%-90% of he asking price was what hey were seeing as being acceptable by HUD. Good Luck! - Wed Jul 16 2008, 05:11

Chelsey Cord…, Home Buyer in North Canton

Looking to buy a reo home but having trouble find the right bank that owns it?

Asked Tue Jul 15 2008, 15:40 by Chelsey Cord…  -  Brewster  -  Foreclosure  -  5 answers
Mary Starkey answered:
It really does not matter which bank owns the property now, if it is listed by a real estate company, you will have to use a Realtor to purchase the home. But you can find information about the home on the county auditor's website or information about the sheriff sale on the county sheriff's site. To find those just google them for a search. Let me know if you still have trouble finding the information for which you are looking. - Tue Jul 15 2008, 17:12

Specialties
I love working with and teaching first time home buyers all they need to know about buying their new home. Maybe that is the teacher coming out in me.

I love also working with people who want education and desire information rather than sales pressure as they make one of the most important financial decisions in their life.

I love working with people and appreciate the different personalities among individuals.
