Online Real Estate Company Expands Nationwide 'Buy a Foreclosure Home' Division
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 3, 2008 -- Foreclosures and the American real estate market's price declines have continued to dominate news headlines across the country for well over a year, but one company is bucking the bad news trend. Sacramento, CA-based The Home Buying Center.com (www.TheHomeBuyingCenter.com) has been helping connect home sellers who want to sell a house quickly with investors for years, and they have expanded their service offering last year to help consumers find and buy foreclosure homes.
"For the first time homebuyer who waited until now to buy a home the deals are everywhere," said company president, Patrick McGilvray, J.D., CFP®. "It's important that prospective buyers understand that buying a foreclosure house can be a great opportunity to buy a house at a cheap price, and they must be aware of some of the possible pitfalls."
The pitfalls McGilvray mentioned can include buying houses in an 'as-is' condition with hidden problems that may not have been visible during a casual inspection such as dry rot or problems with a cracked foundation. Buyers, he cautioned, must do significant homework before signing on the dotted line. Additionally, he said that it is crucial for would-be home buyers to be pre-qualified for a mortgage loan.
"That's why working with a team like ours can be a real advantage," McGilvray said. "We provide the consumer access to the nation's largest network of foreclosure and pre-foreclosure homes via thousands of real estate investors and real estate agents who specialize in bank owned homes. We also have the resources needed to help hopeful house buyers get qualified for a mortgage."
The company was originally founded as a website devoted to connecting people who wanted to sell a house quickly at a discount to a real estate investor, but, because of requests from customers, they started offering a foreclosure location service for buyers in 2007. McGilvray said that their company has been growing rapidly since their inception and that they had recently taken some venture capital money in exchange for equity from an angel investor.
Despite the downturn in America's housing market, which McGilvray thinks could still take years to fully recover from, he is optimistic about real estate services and the internet's ability to connect consumers with exactly what they are looking for quickly and easily. When asked where he thought should consumers turn to first to help them find answers to their real estate questions, he answered with a smile, "Other than The Home Buying Center.com? Why Google, of course."
