HomesDirect Marketing Q&A

 

  1. Why should I buy from HomesDirect when I can buy directly from a bank?

    2. HomesDirect saves you headaches and agony of dealing with banks when wanting to buy a foreclosed property or a short sale. Most people who buy a home from a bank learn it can be a very slow process that often takes months if the deal goes through at all. And HomesDirect offers free one year job-loss insurance and a home warranty with every purchase.

  2. How does HomesDirect work for Realtors?

    3. Realtors know HomesDirect makes it simpler for them to sell quality, bank-owned homes to their clients as they no longer and their customers no longer have to wait for the bank to decide if their offer is good enough or not. HomesDirect non-negotiable pricing takes all the angst away thus homes close quickly.

  3. Who would benefit by joining HomesDirect?

    4. HomesDirect is designed for anyone looking for a good value in purchasing a bank-owned property. The homes we sell are primarily in the $75,000 to $400,000 price range. And, we include added assurances such as a one-year home warranty, one-year job loss insurance, a recent home inspection and current home appraisal.

  4. How do I become a HomesDirect member? How much does it cost?

    5. Membership is free and there's no obligation to purchase a home. Simply click the orange "join here" button the top of the ShopHomesDirect.com home page to complete a short membership application.

  5. Why should I buy from HomesDirect when I can buy foreclosed homes from an auction house?

    6. Auctions are high-pressure environments, and often you're bidding against other potential buyers for a property who can lift the sales price above what you are comfortable paying. At an auction, the home comes without an inspection and the other added values we include with every HomesDirect purchase. Finally, auction buyers pay a 5 percent buyers premium.

  6. How long will a home be offered for sale?

    7. Typically, a property will be offered by HomesDirect for 90 days on ShopHomesDirect.com.

  7. How recent is the appraisal?

    8. Typically the appraisal will have occurred within 60 days of the home posting on ShopHomesDirect.com.

  8. I like the HomesDirect concept, but I can't afford a home now. How can HomesDirect help me?

    9. For those who want to purchase through HomesDirect but aren't yet in a position to do so, we are happy to work with you to explore potential government assistance or, if needed, credit counseling support. We realize these are difficult times, and we want to do all we can for people who are struggling to see a path to home ownership.

  9. What company is underwriting the home warranty and providing the job-loss insurance?

    10. The Warranty Group, Inc. is the home warranty provider, and Paycheck Guardian is providing one-year job loss insurance.
