Loans for Foreign Nationals Buying Homes in Annapolis and Washington DC Region

I’ve heard from a few sources recently that with all the market uncertainty, many folks from overseas are viewing investing in American real estate, especially the Washington, DC, area, as a “safe haven”.  Or at least a relatively good place to park money for the time being.

And many of these folks are not aware that it is possible for foreign nationals to get loans on American real estate.  They hear that it can’t be done, because many banks won’t do it.  I just met with an excellent loan officer specializing in this niche, who will be happy to help folks from other countries who would like to buy a home in the States.  Let me know if you have friends or colleagues like that, and I’ll introduce them to the right people to help.

Also, this team is well-aware of the importance of discretion and privacy to our highly successful clients.

Considering a move?  Please call for a confidential chat.  Your personal needs, wants, and finances are my priority and my passion and my specialties run from Waterfront Luxury Estates to distressed properties.

Happy 2011!  Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

This is a fun time of year when people are sharing about how the last year went, and plans for the coming year.  For those whose plans include a move, it’s a great time to get started!

Remind your friends, it pays to take the time to prepare your house for sale, make it look its best, and price it right, so you can get the most for your equity.

Get good advice so that you’re spending your hard-earned money in the right places.  Take advantage of the buyers’ market and low interest rates to get the home you want.

If your dreams or plans include a new home or investment property this year, or you can think of a friend I could help make the right move, call me today! I enjoyed helping people move ahead in 2010, and am looking forward to an even better 2011.

Let’s get together, get started, and catch the Spring market!

Happy Holidays Plus Last-Minute Gift Ideas – Real-Estate Related

Merry Christmas!   Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!

Since I’m writing, I gotta mention something I got an email about the other day – a great last-minute holiday gift for a friend or family member who is interested in investing in real estate, would be a gift of education.  Of the numerous real estate seminars that I have attended, I highly recommend John Schaub’s two-day seminar, Building Wealth One House at a Time, being offered in Sarasota FL, January 15-16, 2011.  Here’s a link to the seminar schedule:  http://www.johnschaub.com/seminars.cfm

John also offers a book by the same name, which you may be able to find in a local book store or always on Amazon:

Building Wealth One House at a Time: Making it Big on Little Deals

And as they say, if you think education is expensive, try ignorance!  I just watched Pacific Heights, what a real estate investor’s nightmare!  Don’t let this happen to someone you know!

Free Seminars on Annapolis Area Real Estate – First-Time Homebuyers and Investors

Do you know someone who is thinking about buying their first home?  Or someone who is renting and would be wise to think about buying a home?  Today’s market presents some amazing opportunities, and often people who are renting aren’t aware how easy it would be to own their own home, and don’t do anything because they don’t know how, and are afraid of making a mistake.  Instead of buying their own home, they are buying real estate for their landlord!

So for potential first-time homebuyers (or those who haven’t bought in a while!), I will be offering quarterly first-time homebuyer seminars over the next year.  Please call for a schedule, if you or someone you know is interested in learning more, so that they are ready to move forward.

Similarly, many people are considering investing in real estate, and aren’t sure where to begin, or how best to add to their existing portfolio.  And there are better ways than buying a “No Money Down” seminar from an infomercial, investing with a group out of state (as someone just told me many of his neighbors are doing), or hoping to stumble across a deal in the middle of your busy workday.  If you are thinking of investing and want to get more facts, please call for the dates of our next real estate investment seminar.

p.s.  If you are planning to sell or buy property in the Spring, please call me to get the information you need to get ready.

Call me today for all your Annapolis real estate needs.

Top Eleven Reasons to List Your House for Sale During the Holidays

Happy Holidays!

As you are gathering with friends and family, I wanted to get this message out to you now, in case the topic of moving arises… People have been discussing with me lately whether to list their property now or wait until the Spring.  It’s important that you and your friends and family know, if you want to sell a house, now is the time to act and get it on the market.

Here are the top eleven reasons to list your house for sale during the holidays:

11.  By selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the Spring, when many more homes are on the market for less money!  This will allow you to sell high and buy low!

10.  You can sell now for more money and we will provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year!

9.  Even though your house will be on the market, you still have the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days around the holidays!

8.  January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs.  Since transferees cannot wait until Spring to buy, you need to be on the market during the holidays to capture that market!

7.  Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons!

6.  Buyers have more time to look for a home during the holidays than they do during a working week!

5.  Buyers are more emotional during the holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price!

4.  Houses show better when decorated for the holidays!

3.  Since the supply of properties on the market will dramatically increase in January, demand will be reduced  for your particular house!  Less demand means less money for you!

2.  Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the holidays!  Less competition means more money for you!

And the number one reason to list your house for sale during the holidays…

1.  People who look for homes during the holidays are more serious buyers!

Enjoy the holidays, and as you discover someone who is considering making a move, please give me a call so we can get together and get their house sold!

P.S. Considering a move?  Please call for a confidential chat.  Your personal needs, wants, and finances are my priority and my passion and my specialties run from waterfront luxury estates to distressed properties.

Here are some client reviews of Carlyn Lowery…

“Carlyn got us a quick sale above the asking price. She qualified prospects well, used a professional photographer for advertising photos, and provided expert advice during negotiations. Carlyn is what other Realtors aspire to be!”
– Paul Donnelly

“As first time home buyers, Carlyn Lowery was very attentive to our basic needs of walking us through each step of the home buying process from a novice standpoint. The long detailed list of items due at specific times from the start of the contract all the way through to the week of closing was greatly appreciated. It was great having an agent who took the time to clearly lay this all out for us. End result – a very smooth time at settlement. No surprises!”
– Ann Hannam

“We wanted a professional who would work with us to sell our home
quickly for a good price and protect our interests as sellers through the process.
Carlyn’s business acumen is her (and will be your) greatest asset.”
– Sue Bogard

“Carlyn was wonderful. She was organized, prepared, and knew the steps to take to sell our home quickly and used a wide array of marketing to get the job done. She gave great advice
during each of the phases, and in particular on the negotiation.”
– Michael Morgan
