If you are anyone you know could use my help please contact Frank."Retired Couple Got What They Wanted"
Recently a client called and asked me if I would help his parents with the sale of their home. They had been retired for many years and the home and the yard were becoming too much for them.
This was not easy for my client’s parents because they had raised their family in this home and it held many beautiful memories. The home had one small problem. There was virtually no backyard and most families want a yard.
I started focusing my marketing efforts on busy young working couples or singles since many of them are too busy and don’t want a big yard.
I was working with a Doctor doing a residency at Mayo at the time and I showed the home to her. She absolutely fell in love with the home and bought it. It was a perfect for her. The seller was also very excited that the buyer appreciated and liked their home so much.
"Going the Extra Mile"
contact Frank.Steve and Joan had recently taken a job offer in St. Paul and needed to sell their home in Rochester. They needed to do a lot of improvements on their home before it was ready to be put on the market. The dilemma was they both worked and they didn’t have the time or the contacts to get the work done.
I explained to Steve and Joan that as part of my services I have a team of individuals to do repairs, painting, and other general things that need to be done to get a home ready to sell. They were ecstatic! I got bids on the work which was OK’d by Steve and Joan. All the work was completed in days. We put the home on the market in "TOP" condition and it sold quickly.
If you know anyone who could use this service, getting their home ready to sell, please call
"Zero Down Home Purchase"
If you are interested in zero down loans, contact Frank.Recently a young woman named Lori who lived in an apartment was looking to buy her first home. She was thinking of going to see a lender, then she received our flyer and knew it was time.
Lori went in and the lender explained her loan options. Lori found that with her good credit she could apply for a loan with no money down, and seller paid closing costs.
Then, Mark helped Lori find her new home. He sat and talked with Lori about what her needs and wants in a home were. After spending time learning what Lori wanted, Mark found her a town home that she loved within a month.
"Buyer Gets What She Wants"
Just a quick note to let you know another way I can help someone that you might refer to me.
A young professional woman came to me after having worked with another Realtor that did not embrace her underlying needs and goals. When I first spoke to her, she told me different horror stories about how she was treated and was so discouraged she wasn’t sure she would continue the home buying process. She didn’t think that she would ever find a home she liked that would also be in good condition.
When we first got together, we talked in great detail about what she envisioned her home to look like and how she predicted the process to unfold. From that point on, I worked as hard as I could to make that vision a reality for them. After many days of searching, we found the right home. Upon completing the home inspections and getting the home loan she moved in shortly after that.
This is a great reason why I work By Referral Only. I spend 80% of my time working for my current clients in an effort to go the extra mile for them. As a result, they refer their friends, family member or co-workers to me for advice on buying or selling Real Estate.
"E-Mail and Internet was Used to Help
Doctors Buy a Home in One Day"
If you know of anyone who is relocating, please ask them to contact Frank. I can help them before they arrive. I can help them before they arrive.A couple, both physicians relocating from Nova Scotia to Rochester, originally thought they may rent because they were unfamiliar with Rochester.
One day Kim and Bonita were surfing the net looking for information on Rochester and they found Frank Armstrong’s web page. Kim found a great deal of information on Rochester, like schools, Mayo Clinic and homes for sale. The first thing Kim and Bonita did was e-mail me and inquire about places to rent and homes for sale, but they felt it would be nearly impossible to purchase, get a loan, etc. So renting seemed like the best option.
To make a long story short, I sent them all the homes for sale in their price range. I got a local lender to do the loan via internet and express mail.
Kim flew into Rochester for two days. Because they were able to have a lot of information on homes and our market, Kim was able to purchase a home and complete financing details in one day and had the other day left for personal business.
"Realtor Saves Couple $8,484 in Interest"
contact Frank.Lane and Jodi recently bought a home in SW Rochester. As we were sitting down to write the purchase agreement, I asked them if they had talked to a lender yet and if they were aware of the interest rates. They said they had spoken with a lender and had been quoted a rate of 7.125%.
I asked them if they would be interested in using a lender that I worked with if the interest rate was less. Of course, they said yes. I called the lender and was able to lock in a rate of 6.875% on the spot… without the lender having a copy of the contract. I saved Lane and Jodi $8,484 in interest on their 30 year mortgage.
