Financing Your Home >Finicky Financiers

Buying an old house to fix up has an attraction for many people. If you can find a house with charm and character, a renovation may enable you to create just the living environment that you want. You should start with a good real estate agent to help you locate the right house and recommend lenders who make both acquisition and construction loans.

Financing a renovation is perhaps the most difficult part of the whole project, especially if the house needs extensive work. Few banks will make these loans to people who are not professional developers. You should prepare for your loan application by having a written proposal. It helps to have an engineer's report or architectural plans and to include estimates from contractors covering the costs and timetables for the work to be done. Your real estate agent can help you put together a market analysis of the neighborhood to show that you will not be over-improving the property compared with other homes in the area.

My clients choose me because I am committed to serving their needs. My actions are timely. My advice is objective. My assistance is un-intimidating. My service is complete. My drive is your success. It is a well-known fact that I utilize more technology-based marketing tools than any other area agent or firm! Digital photography, website advertising, and 24-hour availability are key elements to getting a home sold in todays market. When you begin your search to buy a home or prepare to list a home, it makes sense to have somebody help you that knows homes. My wife Julie and I have fully restored two homes. Our first was a Chicago Bungalow on the North Side; in 2000 we complete and sold our English Cottage on the 900 block of Marion in Oak Park. These homes were not quick rehabs to make money. They were our homes filled with hard work (more than 50% of the labor was our own), fun memories, and quality finishing. We have recently embarked on a restoration that will (hopefully) be our last. We purchased a Victorian at 320 N. Euclid and estimate a restoration process of more than seven years. Taking care of my customers needs is job #1 and leads to long workweeks. This is all I do, everyday, seven days a week. Let me help you learn what to do and what NOT to do in order to get your home sold. If you are buying a home, your job is just as rigorous. I can help you with everything from home inspectors to mortgage brokers. Selling or buying I help you with every detail to get you to that closing date.
