10% Discount For First Time Home Buyers

September 26th, 2011



This is a unique program created by the county to assist First Time Home Buyers. As part of this special Bank Owned Program, the county purchases the home with cash at the current market value. Then the county makes these homes available to first time home buyers only by discounting the sales price by exactly 10%. What this means is that the buyers acquire and immediate 10% in their home the moment they close. In addition to this special discount, the government will pay up to 6% of your closing costs, and you only need $500 to separate this home. Other conditions apply (*).

These homes are sold to whoever presents a complete purchase contract first. We are among the few who have access to this exclusive opportunity.

The video above is the testimonial of one of our clients who qualified for this program just before they went to closing.

We love helping our clients, friends, and neighbors to find these incredible deals not advertised in the public MLS listings. If you know of a friend who would benefit from this service, let them know that they can call us or subscribe here.
