Foreclosures and HUD owned homes in Corinth, TX.

Image by Getty Images via @daylife

Corinth, TX: Foreclosures or REO, HUD and Short sales - now familiar words in real estate community. While Denton County is not (yet) over flown with these types of homes - at least 18 homes owned by banks, HUD or VA are now available for sale in Corinth, TX.

HUD homes:
To search for a HUD home go to this site. Once you identify a few homes - contact me to set an appointment to view the properties. Good deals do not last forever. Be ready with you funds and pre-approval letters. Placing a bid on HUD site must be done by a registered agent with participating broker. Often, you get response from HUD fairly quickly. Home owner occupants are priority. Once a specified period ends - HUD accepts all offers, including investors.

FORECLOSURES or REO (real estate owned as an entry in banks accounting records)
The process to put an offer on a foreclosed property is similar to a regular home for sale. However, massive amount of disclosures, addenda will follow an accepted bid. In many cases banks agree to pay up to 3% in closing costs. They will also consider home-owner occupants first. Be sure all paperwork is submitted correctly or your offer may be returned and you will lose the bid (your agent's work).

SHORT SALES: This is the most time consuming process to wait for a response from the bank. Many homes are still occupied by current owners who are short on funds to pay monthly mortgage. These properties might be a good deal if the buyer is willing to wait and hang around for a 3+ months at least.

Already sold millions of dollars of inventory, a listing went pending last night, another - negotiating contract, two more to sell! Happy clients! Ready for new business! This is going to be fun!


Leeza Morris, Associate Broker, Keller Williams Denton

1.  Extreme and non-stop Online Marketing (94% of buyers start their home search online!)
2.  Professional Photography
3.  Realistic Price Suggestion after extensive research
4.  Almost daily feedback to clients
5.  Negotiations to win-win solution to get the best price for my clients
6.  Meeting or exceeding expectations
7.  Detailed calculated NET sheet of proceeds so there are no negative surprises

Types of homes for sale in Corinth, TX

Image via Wikipedia

Corinth, TX Homes For Sale. If you are in the market for pre-owned home you can buy one of these types of properties:

1. Home for sale by ordinary sellers with enough equity to close or cash to bring to the closing table.
2. Foreclosure home for sale. Owned by banks, or Freddie Mac and Freddie Mae. Buying this property means you will not see seller's disclosure and your agent must follow strict instructions and submit all appropriate addenda and forms. However, the negotiations and closing are usually achieved without delay.
3. HUD home for sale. You agent/and her broker must have an account with HUD authorized sellers to place a bid on a home for sale in Corinth, TX or other areas of Texas. An agent must follow strict instructions and submit a complete package.
4. Short sale home for sale. There are a few short sale homes for sale in Corinth, TX and Denton, TX. This transaction involves seller's lender approval and takes weeks and months to complete. Not recommended to home buyers needing to move in in 1-2 months.

When you are looking to buy a property for yourself to live in consider all four types. But if you need to move in within a short time - focus on #1 and #2 options. If you want a fixer upper but will occupy the property - research option #3. In any event, with historically lowest interest rates and large inventory - there are vast opportunities for the buyers now.

Corinth, TX real estate is heating up. Literally!

Image via Wikipedia

Really! It's been so hot in Corinth and Denton, TX that taking clients for a home showing tour has been a sweaty experience! Just getting in and out of the car, in and out of the backyard will make you sweat! Not to mention going inside HUD homes with utilities off! Unless you are organized your clients will suffer. I dress light. No heels. As I park by a house I jump out of the car, immediately marching to the front door. I locate the key box, quickly punch the code and open the door.  My clients appreciate that there is no waiting around.  Thankfully, many home sellers in Corinth, TX and Denton, TX keep their home cool! They must! As we enter, cool air and running fans make us more relaxed and ready to explore the house! Seeing pool in the back yard is a big plus these days! After several days of house hunting in Corinth, TX, Denton, TX, Lake Dallas, TX we narrow down the search and put three homes for sale in Corinth, TX on the short list. Will there be more driving and meeting to sign an offer? Or printing, signing, scanning, again printing and again signing? Nope, not with me as their agent! No paper! Unless they insist!  Not to worry, no need of driving and meeting again in this heat just to sign the papers. All I ask from my clients is to check their email in a few hours and follow instructions on the screen. Done! Offer is ready and I am emailing it to the listing agent. Now, it's their turn to sweat!
