Becky Forbes Realtor--Thinking Outside the Box!
GET TO KNOW BECKY FORBES
Have you ever known of a Realtor who can explain the enormous differences between selling or purchasing a SHORT SALE verses FORECLOSURE? Has staging been complimentary? Have you received reports on area school systems or demographics of the area? Did your Realtor call the local Code Department to seek answers to your concerns? Were you informed of sites for calculating payments and selecting color schemes online for your uploaded prospective home? Has anyone taken the time to educate you with the step-by-step process of selling or purchasing? Did he/she have referrals for Interior Designers-Landscape Architects-Renovation Contractors? Can your Realtor help you find properties in Florida, California, and Grand Bahama? YOU HAVE MET ONE NOW!
With a B.S. and M.S. in Business Education and licensing in GA and FL, I specialize in assisting clients with "THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX" financing, mortgage assistance grants, NO CLOSING COSTS mortgages, Short Sale Purchases & Sales, purchases of HUD homes w/$100 DP (FHA foreclosures) & Home Path homes (Fannie Mae foreclosures w/6 months home warranty & 3% DP), First Step (Freddie Mac Foreclosures with 1 year home warranty & 3% DP), first home purchases (and training :-), investments, and beach purchases with expertise in St. Simons Island-Amelia Island-Daytona Beach-Beverly Hills-Hollywood-Malibu-Grand Bahama.
