HUD Homes
Welcome > For Buyers > HUD Homes ...

As a HUD designated agent I know specifically what needs to be done in order to help you purchase a HUD home for the best possible price.  We can view all these properties at your convenience and all offers are initially placed electronically.  We will have a response to an offer within 2 business days unless it is during the initial owner occupant purchase window in which case it may take us 10 days  HUD does provide closing costs and they do pay Realtor commissions.  Click here to learn more about HUD homes.  Click here to search Illinois HUD homes.  Check this search page every Friday as new properties are added and price adjustments made at that time.

What is a HUD Home?

A HUD home is a foreclosure property currently owned by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.  These properties can be great opportunities to purchase for yourself or as an investment.  You will notice these homes have a 10 day initial offering to people who are going to live in them.  If the property isn’t purchased within that 10 days at a ‘fair’ price then the home is available for investors to buy.  If you look at each individual property you will also notice a property report which will give you some specific information concerning what may be wrong with the property.  Understand it may not be accurate as of today, but when the report was done it was accurate to the best of the inspectors knowledge.  The nice thing is there aren’t many other foreclosure properties that provide you with a report.  HUD does provide closing costs and they do pay Realtor commissions.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email Amy at Amy@AmyKite.com or call 847-877-9881.  I look forward to helping you with your real estate needs.

Real Estate Tips
First Time Buyers >Preferences of Buyers

Although every purchase of a home involves a degree of compromise, the process begins with the buyer's preferences. When you are working with a real estate agent, it is important that you give your agent a clear idea which of your criteria are flexible and which items you really must have in your new home. If you prefer a specific location, for example, discuss why you want to live in that neighborhood. The agent might be able to suggest alternatives areas which offer the same amenities or convenience to your office. How important is size? Do you really need four bedrooms or would three bedrooms work, if there is a den for your home office? How much are you willing to correct with redecorating or remodeling? Are you willing to expand your price range by using an adjustable rate mortgage to increase your buying power?

The agent will ask you a lot of questions so that they can use your time most efficiently by showing you houses that meet your criterion as a buyer.
