Packages for our Troops
Posted by Lake Conroe Real Estate in Lake Conroe Real Estate on January 15, 2010
The Franke Team has, for several Christmases past, celebrated the season with a Secret Santa gift exchange among team members. For five days, we would secretly place a small gift into the person’s stocking and anticipate their reaction. Of course, after Hurricane Ike and other financial happenings, the stockings were replaced with buckets, but for five days there were clever gifts and not one lump of coal.
This past year, however, the decision was made to share our Christmas with members of the armed services. In lieu of drawing names and giving daily gifts to a team member, six names were randomly chosen from the anysoldier.com website, thus the Four Days of Christmas for the Troops began. Each of the four days represented a category, i.e. entertainment, toiletries, clothing, and food.
At the end of the four days there was a variety of snack items, non-perishable food, toiletries, clothing, books, electronic games, CD’s, and DVD’s which were then packed into sixteen boxes totaling over 116 pounds. The packages were mailed to the six names who would in turn distribute the contents to their fellow team members in Iraq and Afghanistan. Each box also contained cards or a letter to be shared by the men and women of the group.
Today, we received a note from one of the recipients expressing her gratitude. It was great to know that several of the packages had actually made it, but more importantly that the contents were such a morale booster, specifically the Michael Jackson CD according to the recipient.
Our team received such a blessing to have been able to share our Christmas with the men and women in the armed services. We also began a new tradition, a white elephant gift exchange. Re-gifting was a huge success!

Loan Preapproval is Critical
Posted by Lake Conroe Real Estate in Lake Conroe Real Estate on January 11, 2010
Real estate experts tell first-time home buyers that it’s critical to apply for a loan before shopping for a home, and it’s true; this is an essential first step. But do you know that it’s far better to be preapproved for a loan than to be prequalified? There are more advantages to gaining preapproval than you would initially surmise. When the lender hands a borrower a preapproval letter, it means the borrower can:
- Save Time by Looking at the Right Homes
If your real estate agent is sending you automatic e-mail listings of available homes, you can ask her to change the parameters to more tightly encompass the selection of homes that you are qualified to buy. If you’re not receiving e-mails from your agent, ask her to send them to you. Most MLS systems allow an agent to send clients much of the same data that agents receive. This way, you’ll save time by checking out homes you can actually afford to buy instead of falling in love with pie in the sky.
- Spend More Time Examining the Right Homes
By decreasing the inventory of homes to those that fit your parameters, you can allot more time to thinking about all the little nuances each home has to offer. Lots of home buyers never move past the price point when sorting out their preferences, but now you can devote your energies to looking at the little things that matter to you most such as whether your SUV will pass through the overhead space in the garage or smash into the microbeam.
- Gain Confidence & Avoid Disillusionment
Now when you find that perfect home, nobody can take it away from you by telling you that you do not qualify to buy it. You can minimize anxiety and remove last-minute loan surprises that could disqualify you. You’ll sleep better at night knowing that the home you selected is yours. Moreover, you can tell your relatives and friends that the home you made an offer is definitely going to close and you will not “lose face” with anybody.
- Increase Bargaining & Negotiating Power
Sellers will be more likely to immediately accept your offer, even if that offer is for less than list price, because you are giving the seller peace of mind that her home is sold. She can take her home off the market and place it into pending status with confidence.
- Enjoy a Faster Closing Period
Because there is no window period while your loan application is processed, the lender can speed up the entire processing procedure. Appraisals can be ordered immediately. It’s possible to shorten a 30-day closing to two or three weeks, which comes in handy if a seller needs to quickly move and can’t decide which offer to accept. Yours will move to the front if you can accomplish the seller’s need to quickly close.
Because mortgage approval is generally the longest contingency to satisfy in a purchase contract, it is to your advantage to obtain a preapproval letter as soon as you’re ready to begin your search. Lenders will render a decision based on your complete loan application, employment verification and data from all three credit reports.
