The EBA Way - A Better Way to Buy a Home

Today, March 08, 2010, Equity Services was acquired by PrimeLending. PrimeLending is part of PlainsCapital Bank out of Dallas, TX. Carl Kiger, a long time preferred mortgage lender partner of Buyers Advantage Group Realty, is very excited about this transition because PrimeLending is part of a full service bank, not just a mortgage services bank.

Carl's clients will have access to many programs a typical mortgage bank does not offer. One quick example of this is that PrimeLending is a Fannie Mae HOMEPATH approved Lender. HOMEPATH approved lenders can do loans on Fannie Mae foreclosures at reduced interest rates with Fannie Mae picking up much of the closing costs. Additionally, Carl will also have access to FHA 203K rehabilitation loans and to NCHFA First Time Homebuyer Programs through PrimeLending.

The above are just a few examples. With so many available programs PrimeLending is very well positioned to meet the needs of homebuyers moving forward. If you have any questions for Carl please do not hesitate to contact him….Lastly, though the company is based out of Dallas, TX, underwriters and closers are still local, so you will continue to get the same great service from Carl that his clients have come to expect.

You can reach Carl by email at ckiger@primelending.com, or by phone at 919-239-2724 (office), 919-522-6281 (cell) or 866-801-6874 (fax).

It may come as a surprise but did you know that not All Real Estate Agents Share Our Pro Buyer Philosophy?

You have heard many times, “Buying a home is usually the biggest financial purchase a person will make.” That said, you may not know it but you need an agent that is truly working for YOU. But, not all agents are created equal. In fact, many home buyers find out the hard way that their agent wasn’t working for them at all.

In a recent My Money segment on Lifetime Television’s, The Balancing Act, Beth Troutman discusses with Kimberly Kahl, Executive Director of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents and NAEBA President and Exclusive Buyer Agent, Benjamin Clark. Some of the benefits a buyer can expect to receive when choosing to work with an exclusive buyer agent, not just at contract time, but throughout the entire process of buying a home.
