Kurt & Darla talk about the dangers of overpricing and how you can net more money for your home by pricing it correctly to begin with.

A recent client wanted rave about the Buehler Team

We want to talk with you about something that we have been doing that has been very effective for us. We don’t know the stock market and we’ve seen our money go up and down. So, we contacted a gentleman in Colorado and we can flip properties within our IRA. We just finished one that made us $16,000 and we only held the property for two months.

On one specific property, we closed on December 20th. It took us 20 days to rehab the property with hardwood floors, paint, and appliances. We worked with great vendors who do work at a very reasonable cost as a way to save money. This house was on the market at $209,000 and we bought it at $200,000. In the end, we put the home back on the market at $239,000 and it sold in three days with multiple offers. We would love to talk with you if you are thinking about investing in real estate. The one bad thing about this process is that we can’t take the money out to purchase an RV.

We would love to help you find ways to make your assets increase and grown your money. Give us a call at 972-355-1600. We would love to help.

Good Afternoon. We’d like to speak to you about purchasing foreclosures. We recently went to look at a house that was in foreclosure, with the intention of flipping it. Just because it says ‘foreclosure’ don’t assume that it is a great deal.

The specific house that we were looking at is in Wellington, a subdivision here in Flower Mound. We thought it was a great buy at $234,000. After loooking through the home and figuring out how much money we would have to put into the house before we flip it, we decided that we could spend $200,000 on the home. We found out later that the winning bid was $255,000, higher than the original list price. People got caught up in the fact that it was a foreclosure. Make sure that when you are making these decisions on what you will buy you have the comps pulled. Look at the hard costs you will be putting into the home. Be careful. Give us a call and we can offer some advice.

A new survey from NAR shows that 89% of all home buyers start their search on the internet.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

People always hear about homes selling for crazy discounts after they’ve gone through foreclosure. When it’s hard to find these deals, they might seem a little farfetched. However, The Buehlers & Associates of Keller Williams Realty are proud to announce that we are now an officially licensed broker for HUD homes!

It’s been a long process that required a lot of dedication but, after 2 years of applications, we were approved! We’ve received our first assignments and we’re very excited. In the weeks and months to come, we’ll be showing you where to go to take a look at these homes and how to place bids and so on.

There’s really no telling what the discount on a HUD home could be when compared to the original sale price. We’ve seen everywhere from perfectly-maintained homes selling for 30% off to fixer-uppers going for pennies on the dollar. There really is no telling and you have to act fast!

So stay tuned and we’ll get you more information when we can!

Interest rates seem to be the only thing they’re talking about in the headlines of financial publications right now.  There’s a reason for that!  We are literally seeing all-time lows.

It’s important to understand what a huge opportunity this is right now for buyers. Even a slight difference in that interest rate could add up to thousands and thousands more that you pay.

One of our clients is refinancing their house to take advantage of these historic rates.  They were approved at 3.5%.  That is phenomenal!  If you were to buy a $200,000 home at 3.5%, your monthly payments would work out to about $898 per month.  Now let’s say you got an interest rate of 4.5%.  In order to pay the same amount per month, you would have to buy a $180,000 house.  That’s a huge difference!

Here at the Buehlers & Associates of Keller Williams Realty, we know how to sell homes quickly. It takes a lot more than just saying that, though.

In the videos included with this post, we take a look at two homes that sold incredibly fast. It’s a matter of doing the right things at the right time. With 24 years in the business, the Buehlers have become experts on when that right time is.

In the first video, our team took on a home that was already listed with someone else. They had it listed all Summer for a total of 169 days.  On top of that, they had a number of other factors that played out in their favor, but they just couldn’t get it sold. They called us and we listed it at the exact same price and we sold it in 3 days.

The story behind the home in the second video is even more amazing. It was listed locally with another broker for 193 days.  Our team took it on and sold it the very first day.

While these may just seem like crazy success stories, it’s easy to see that we must be doing something right. Our team sold 229 homes in 2009.  We want your home to be one of our success stories!
