Are you considering purchasing a foreclosure? Here are a few things to consider in your home search

Before you start your search for that great "deal" on a foreclosure, ask yourself the following questions:

• • Do you have a lot of time to search for your home?
  • Are you EXTREMELY patient?
  • Are you a risk taker?
  • Are you prepared to submit multiple offers on foreclosed properties and waste valuable time in your home search?
  • Do you have extra money to fix up a foreclosed home? (Furniture and window treatments will be the least of your worries, you may be dealing with major repairs, hidden defects, big ticket purchases to replace missing appliances and light fixtures and replace stained carpet.... the list could go on and on).
  • Would you worry about how the previous homeowners treated the home prior to losing it to the bank? In most cases foreclosures are poorly maintained and have a high likelihood of hidden defects AND you will not be provided a Seller's Disclosure. (Foreclosures do not require a Seller's Disclosure)
  • Are you prepared to deal with liens on your home that are not free and clear?
  • Do you want the peace of mind of a home warranty or do you feel comfortable buying "as is" and taking your chances?
  • Are you looking for a bargain or a deal, or are you looking for the right home for you and your family?
• Buying a foreclosure isn't for the faint of heart. If you still think a foreclosed home is the right decision for you and your family, consider the following advantages if you purchase a new Bowen Family Home.....
