Realtor Thank You from Derrick Sorenson

"Marty and I have had the opportunity to work together on many occasions. As a Sr. Loan Officer it is his responsibility to ensure a successful transaction with my clients.

My clients rely heavily upon his knowledge, experience and people skills, all of which Marty excels in.

I have never had a client be disappointed with Marty’s work.

He is quick to respond and isn’t afraid to address tough issues.

As a result of his upfront, honest and kind nature he has proven himself as an excellent Loan Officer time and time again.

In the three years that we have known each other Marty quickly became one of the few people that I consider referring.

I feel that the work my Loan Officer’s perform is as big of a reflection of who I am and how I conduct my business, as it is to them and their own clients and business.

Marty is capable of handling any Loan that I could ever send him.

He is willing to go the extra mile to make sure things are done correctly.

When you are considering a mortgage loan and loan officer, Marty is the one you should choose.

Sincerely,

Derrick Sorensen

Sorensen & Company Real Estate, Inc."

Home Run 2 Grant 2 Program: How long will it last?

This week, I have been watching the number of grants which are being reserved each day. Today there were 17 grants reserved and if I do the math at 20 grants per day, counting only work days of the week, the grants will be completely committed by November 30th!

Coincidentally, November 30, 2009 is also the expiration of the Grant Program! There are 54 working days remaining until November 30th so if the rate of reservations increases slightly, which is bound to happen, time is of the essence!

With this grant issue, the program requires an appraisal before we can get a reservation for the borrower. In order to quickly expedite the reservation process, here is what I need for an appraisal to be completed:
  • Contract with the Builder with sales price and address
  • Plans and Specifications
  • Plot Plan
  • Cost Breakdown
Once we have the appraisal and all of the signed Home Run 2 Grant Forms, I can get the reservation in place!

Utah Housing Equity NOW Program

Governor Gary Herbert announced today that first time home buyer's can now use their $8,000 tax credit for down payment and closing costs!

Utah Housing will give First Time Home buyer's, who meet the credit and income guidelines, a first mortgage loan and a small second mortgage loan for purchase of their home and also payment of closing costs and down payment.

The buyer then applies for the tax credit with an amendment to their 2008 tax returns and when received, can apply the money to their first or second mortgage used to purchase the home. If they apply the money to the 2nd mortgage within 6 months of the loan date, Utah Housing will credit them $100.

Here is the web link with all of the details:
