First Time Home Buyer Testimonial-Biggest Purchase Of Her Life

First Time Home Buyer Testimonial- Terrified Of Making The Biggest Purchase Of Her Life- Monica found me through a Craig's List Home Ad. She was one of the most "go get it" clients I've had this year. We must have looked at no less than 6 properties per showing, often 10. We wrote countless offers until she got her "FHA" offer accept. Thanks Monica, for trusting me with your purchase!

Here's what she had to say:

I was preapproved for an FHA loan through my bank and was ready to start looking at houses to purchase. I didn't really know how to go about finding a trustworthy agent, so an online search led me to Stephen Munson. As a single, first-time home buyer, I was terrified at the idea of making the biggest purchase of my life because I didn't know anything about the home-buying process. My biggest fear was getting into a bad deal and being left to fend for myself. I e-mailed Stephen and a few other Realtors one morning, and by late afternoon Stephen contacted me (the others contacted me the next day). From the moment I answered his call, Stephen made me feel very comfortable. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He explained to me in detail the certain conditions of a home that must be met when purchasing a home with an FHA loan. I had no idea that there were conditions or limitations with this type of loan, but Stephen explained them and reassured me that I would not have a problem finding an FHA-approved home. From that moment on, Stephen remained a committed and communicative agent. We spoke almost every day, and we e-mailed each other every day. He always made himself available to me to view all the homes in which I expressed interest. The first week, we viewed homes every single evening after work. A few weeks later, I recall viewing 10 homes in one day, which FINALLY led me to my dream home. Not once did Stephen make me feel like I was a burden or that viewing 10 homes in one day was too much for him. THAT is how committed he was to me. Unfortunately, my original loan officer went on a two-week vacation just days before I was ready to go into escrow. Stephen remained calm and referred me to a preferred lender he had worked with in the past. I couldn't have been happier with the service I received from this lender. I received an even better rate than with my original lender, and this lender and his associates treated me very well. I am happy to say that I am sitting in my beautiful dining room typing this testimonial. I couldn't imagine being happier about my home-buying experience and everyone involved in my purchase. Stephen, his assistant, Samantha, and the lender were amazing to work with. Stephen went above and beyond to help me find my dream home. Although Stephen was always very professional, our agent-buyer relationship felt more like a friendship, which made it easy to ask any questions or communicate any concerns. Stephen is a class act and will not disappoint. He is the agent who knows how to close!

Homes For Sale Pasadena CA- Must Have Pasadena Certificate Of Occupancy to Transfer-

Homes For Sale Pasadena CA- Must Have

Pasadena Certificate Of Occupancy to

Transfer- A little inconvenient for the seller maybe but the Pasadena Certificate of Occupancy offers protection on both sides of the home sale transaction.

In order for the seller to obtain a Pasadena Certificate Of Occupancy there must be a Occupancy Inspection done at the sale or transfer of a Single Family Home, Duplex, Condo or Townhome by the Code Compliance Section of the Planning and Development Department.

Here's what they are looking for in the Occupancy Inspection:

• Electrical
• Plumbing and heating systems
• Structural hazards

They are also looking for Zoning Issues such as

• Illegal building additions
• Conversion of garages,attics, and basements to dwelling spaces are also checked.(very common in many Homes for Sale In Pasadena Ca)

If upon inspection, home is in violation of any codes, the home owner will be given a reasonable time to correct them. Once the violations are corrected and satisfied, a Certificate of Occupancy is issued and remains valid until the dwelling unit is again sold or rented.

For the seller: it protects you by giving the buyer of your home full disclosure of permits and lack there of that even YOU many not be aware of and the opportunity to correct them.

For the Buyer: The Pasadena Certificate of Occupancy let's you know upfront what structures are and aren't permitted and what needs to be done so that you don't inherit the permit issues.

When is the best time to get your Inspection? When you know you are ready to sell! Don't put it off or you may well get caught off guard and "hold up" or ever worse "Blow" a successful escrow!
