San Antonio Texas Real Estate Agent Releases Top Ten Tips for Buying a Home in a Weekend

July 23rd, 2010 No comments

San Antonio, TX – Texas real estate agent Kurt Hudspeth, who specializes in new homes in San Antonio, Austin and New Braunfels, releases a free report for home buyers entitled Top Ten Tips for Buying a Home in a Weekend.

Hudspeth, who works with all types of buyers from military families to custom home buyers, says that fluctuations in the real estate and job markets nationwide have led many families to relocate to San Antonio for job or cost of living purposes.

He says that when there is a timetable to adhere to for buyers to start a new job, often the most efficient way to purchase a home is to fly in and do it in a weekend.

“It takes some preparation and a good deal of communication to make this happen, but it actually makes the home buying process easier on buyers when it can be compressed to a shorter time period.”

Hudspeth says the benefits of committing to a shortened time frame for decision making is that it focuses the mind and encourages decisiveness.

“A common misconception is that making a quick offer means you are sacrificing finding your dream home or not getting a very good deal. The opposite is actually true.”

He says that finding a dream home is simply a matter of preparation, and in his experience, buyers get the best deal when they can show they are serious. Whether a buyer is dealing with custom San Antonio builders or a private homeowner, Hudspeth says sellers know the most serious buyer is one who is preapproved and will only be in town for two days.

“The limited time frame helps both buyer and seller focus on what’s really important.”

Top Ten Tips for Buying a Home in a Weekend

1. Establish a relationship with a local agent
2. Focus on a specific area
3. Clearly communicate with your agent
4. Pick a weekend when you can have your agent’s full attention
5. If you’re married, come with your spouse
6. Get preapproved for a loan
7. Don’t make contingency offers
8. Don’t waste time looking at properties you won’t buy
9. Use technology to speed the process where possible
10. Be decisive

“My full report is called Top Ten Tips for Buying a Home in a Weekend, and you can get it for free on my website www.newsanantoniohomes.net. It will explain exactly how to prepare ahead of time to make sure you have a great experience flying into town to make an offer.”

Take a second look at the new San Antonio home market

February 23rd, 2010 No comments

If you’re interested in getting your hands on a bargain in this market, there are some great deals on new San Antonio homes out there from the home builders. Many San Antonio custom home builders are interested in making deals with buyers, especially if the buyer has a buyer’s agent who knows the various buyer’s incentives and can use them to vigorously represent the buyer’s best interests.

Buying a home when it’s newly built makes a lot of sense for many people in the market. Of course, they always have the option of buying older homes and fixing them up, but that has the potential for draining their budget with costly repairs and a long list of things to do after closing. When buyers purchase a new home, they generally have a much higher level of satisfaction with their decision to buy the house than those who opt for older houses. Why? There are some good reasons.

Cut the hassle, you don’t need it

If you don’t want to have to deal with hassles like replacing old carpet, repainting ceilings, and waiting for a contingency clause to pan out (believe me, that can take awhile and is a major deal-killer), then you need to consider purchasing a new home rather than a pre-existing home. Since the home builder has done this process many times before, chances are pretty good it will go easily and quickly. However, with private party transactions, you are much more likely to run into painful delays and costly missteps along the way to your closing.

Buying a new home caries less risk than buying from a private party

When you invest in a new home, there is often less risk of getting burned by unforeseen expenses or repairs because you are negotiating with a reputable company with many other homes and communities in most cases. In fact, you really just need to walk down the street and get feedback from other buyers. You’ll instantly uncover the quality of the home, the builder’s reputation, and hopefully, the amount of confidence you can have that you’re getting a quality home. If you don’t want to have to worry about a hidden repair you might be forced to deal with later, then buy a new home.

If you’re smart, you can avoid all these negatives if you consider investing in a new San Antonio home.

New San Antonio Homes Site Goes Live

February 15th, 2010 No comments

A new site covering the new home market of San Antonio, Texas has launched with a directory of San Antonio home builders and information about available builder incentives. Many home buyers aren’t aware that builders are offering discounts and incentives for purchasing new San Antonio homes from their communities.

Kurt Hudspeth, a San Antonio real estate agent specializing in San Antonio’s vibrant new home market, makes a career out of following the local and national home builders with communities in the area. The niche specialty allows him to gather a great deal of information about San Antonio builder incentives and give his clients the advantage of choosing from available deals being offered.

As a buyer’s agent, Hudspeth vigorously represents the interests of his clients, often negotiating deals that would be unavailable through normal sales channels. As a results, his clients enjoy access to a greater variety of potential homes to meet their family’s needs than they might find elsewhere, and they are more likely to find new homes that fit their budget.
