Announcement: HMBI’s "Simple Selling of HUD Homes" Seminar

Is a Huge success!!!

A "Simple Selling of HUD Homes" training seminar was held Wednesday 27, 2004 at The Overlake Square Conference Center in Bellevue Washington. All HMBI training seminars will be free three and a half hour seminars. It was the first industry meeting addressing Brokers/Sales agents and interested parties in how to simply sell HUD Homes. There were 429 people consisting of, Brokers, Sales Agents, Investors, Lenders, Appraisers, Non-profits and other entities.

Attendees to HMBI’s; "Simple Selling of HUD Homes" obtained information on New Broker Registration, where to find HUD Homes for sale, electronic bidding, property condition report, and required documents to submit with a sales contract.

Important Topics Addressed: Keys – The Local Listing Broker (LLB) in the area will provide a locking system that will allow access to all real estate brokers; in some remote cases it may not meet the requirements of the local MLS. In theses instances, the Listing Broker must install a lock box that meets the requirements of the local MLS within 48 hours. Earnest Money –If the sales price is $50,000 or less the earnest money will be $500. If the sales price is $50,001 or more the earnest money will be consistent with market practices, but not to exceed $2,000. Earnest money must be in the form of certified funds including cashier’s check, money order or bank certified check. Personal checks or deposit slips are not acceptable. Funds must be deposited with a HUD approved closing agent. Funds must be made payable to "Both" HUD OR Jane Doe. Reminder: "Both" HUD and the Buyer names must be on the funds and the word OR must be used between the two names.
