Buyer Programs - Locating Homes for Buyers

You can access my home search website below to insert your parameters.

My name is Greg Nichols, and my real estate specialty is researching the best homes in the suburbs of Sacramento & Roseville or Rocklin, listed by my firm and all the other firms too. Every day, I search all the new listings in these areas which were entered into the Multiple Listing Service the previous day.  I review the listings and note the nicest ones and usually come up with a hotlist of the 6-7 best listings, those having the largest lots, the largest house square footages, and the 4 bedroom 2 or 3 bath homes with 2-3 car garages.

Home searches can be frustrating for buyers and there are questions that buyers have that need to be addressed. The following information may help. 

Possible Down Payment Helps

If you are down payment challenged and need assistance with funds, we have programs and techniques to get you help. One way to go is to negotiate you a credit by the seller of all or part of your closing costs, which we do all the time, and another way is to find you a program (providing you qualify for it) that gets you down payment assistance of your FHA loan down payment. 

Payment and Interest Rate Buydowns

If you are payment and interest rate conscious and are concerned about that, we potentially can set up by negotiation with the seller a credit that gets you a 2-1 Buydown obtaining you a lower fixed loan rate for the first 2 years. This can give you a welcome payment savings monthly or may extend your qualifications a little bit, or at least you might want to raise your own price range once you see how much you can save on the monthly.  

Hotlists of Homes

If you are looking for a 3 or 4 bedroom, 2-3 car garage home on a decent sized lot and at a decent sized square footage of living space, in a specific area, get in touch with me now. We can set up an instant delivery in your email inbox of these types of homes in the area that you are looking. The notifications of new properties will be automatic, so then, all you have to do is call us for a private showing. Our service does not cost you a penny!  We also never hound you to go look at homes or to buy a specific house, it will be you calling us instead of us calling you, most of the time. 

Be One of the First Buyers at the New Listings!

When we set up your notification service, we have you receiving the new listings on the first day that they arrive on the market. Then, you can study the information, and do a drive-by if you want, and then, you call us, and we will quickly get you in to view the home with your own private showing. 

There are a few action steps that you can take if you are having trouble finding a home. We are home finding agents here to help you find that dream home.  

Action Step 1:  Get pre-approved. To  make offers on homes in this era, you must be pre-approved by a mortgage lender. We can refer you one when you follow the next action step.

Action Step 2:  Call us today at 916-580-7235  

After a short discussion about what you are looking for in a home,  we can answer your questions and also give a great lender from our list to help you get pre-approved. 

Action Step 3:  There is no further action except to watch properties roll in to your email inbox from us the first day they go on the market.

Benefits for Sellers and Buyers with Greg Nichols of MFN Realty! 107924606

 

Greg and his wife, Deborah Nichols

On this blog entry, we are sharing a menu of exactly what we do. No other firms that we have found have this list of features. That is why, when you hire us, we perform well and get the job done. Please explore the info we have for sellers and buyers.  

Sellers:  Greg here. I got my early training in real estate by listing homes from the expired list routinely, and selling homes that other agents could not sell.  I then took the secret sauce of techniques and procedures and today those are what I follow and we still have the ability to do things that are difficult to do and it creates a very "over the top" service.  More offers mean higher and better offers. 

Buyers:  Through our vast experience, we have some procedures to help. First of all, we call you back quickly. Then, we set you up to get select houses sent to your email to view photos of them the very first day they hit the market and we are ready to help you get into them to see them very fast. Then, we write your offer in such a way to make it quite competitive and we work very well with the seller's agent to make sure your offer gets a fair viewing by the seller.  Then, on finding you a good deal on a nice home, we use expertise on home searches and we can find you what you want. 

Sellers:  One technique (Marketing Plus for Sellers) we use is that we broadened our territory where we look for buyers for your home, and it is not just the Sacramento Valley.  We have ways to notify many of the all cash buyers early in the San Francisco Bay area, about your home and that it is listed with us.  This is an actual exposure we give to our own sellers without any extra charge to our sellers. Most agents rely on the MLS service to sell your home. WE do that too, but so, so much more!

Buyers:  We have a home scoring service. No one else does this service because we created/invented it.  After you purchase a home, in the first 24-48 hours and during your due diligence and contingency period, we run a score on the home showing you that score with a breakdown of why it is what it is. Most houses pass OK, so it does not kill deals, but it does give a buyer more confidence. Our score shows things not covered in the whole house inspection, the pest inspection, and the roof inspection. In fact, since those are a given in most escrows, we focus on other more abstract, but no less important things about the home. We charge you nothing for this score process but you can only get it through us. We do not score our own listings, it is a service for buyers only.

Sellers:  One service that we offer to sellers is from an affiliated firm who does fix up,  light remodels, painting, curb side refreshing, patio, kitchen and bathroom makeovers, and they do this before you list, with no charge up front, no credit checks, and no lending fees. They give you a bid, and if you like it, then you list your home with us, and you sell the home and pay for the work at closing from your equity, and your escrow firm pays them for you. This is a great service, and can help you even get more money when you sell. No job is too small. 

Sellers:   One of our systems we use makes us very effective with luxury homes and the extra oomph and exposure it takes to get the upper end homes sold and the sellers down the road with a check in their hand. 

Buyers:  We have special circumstance homes where you can get a good deal from a seller who must sell. The homes are fairly nice. Some are vacant, some are "as is," some are probate sales, and some are Trustee sales.  

Sellers and Buyers:  We have references and a few of them are at this link. < To speak with me, give me a call and we can discuss what's on your mind, answer any questions you have, and if it seems appropriate to both of us, we can set a time for me to come by and see your home.

Unique Services * Highly Experienced Agent * No Hype - We Just Get Down to Business * Use a Strategic Firm That Can Access More Homebuyers Than Most Firms at No Extra Cost * Negotiation Expert * Harnessing the Power of the Internet

Hello, Greg Nichols here. I am the broker of MFN Realty and a Christian Realtor. I have a very unique procedure and I do things differently than most agents. It all began early in my career when I began reaching out to those with expired listings, which other agents and firms had not been able to sell. I began to specialize, and I was known for selling homes that other agents could not sell. I brought a commonsense perception to the table and over many years, I developed a system and methods to give these sellers the service they really needed. One of the biggest problems when I arrived on the scene to sell these homes were the errors and mistakes that their former agents had made. 

But that was just one part of it. I realized that I needed to become a marketing expert and I needed to learn and do things that caused buyers to not only look at my listings, but to act on them too. That brings us to this present time today when our strategies are available to any seller who entrusts their home to us. To discuss this further with me, give me a call at 916-580-7235.  (If I can’t answer, please leave me a message and I will call you back.)

An Innovative Scoring System That We Offer Our Buyers at No Cost! 107924606

Before You Ever Buy Another Home, Read

"My Home Score" Below!

 from Greg Nichols, MFN Realty, DRE #00632894

 My Home Score

from Greg Nichols 

As a real estate broker, 28 years ago in 1997, I created or invented a system and process to score homes based on various factors.  This scoring method is good for any buyer, including new home buyers, rental investors, property flippers, subdivision planners, etc. 

This scoring system is optional; you can decline it and we will represent you as our buyer with the exceptionally good service you expect. But read on.

(Note:  We never score our own listings, our seller's houses. We are agents acting in the law of Agency, and this scoring system is for buyer's only, for their protection, where we only represent the buyer. When we sell a seller's home and they become a buyer, then we can score their next home at their option.)

This is something only our firm has; no other firm has it! We believe you should have all of the inspections that are normally done when you buy a home.  They include:  1) appraisal,  2) termite inspection,  3) whole house inspection,  4) roof inspection, and those are just the main ones. Now buyers can go a step further at NO COST! Through MFN Realty, we have one more inspection that measures factors in a home that are not ever measured.  

Our Proprietary System:

We have several categories that a home must reach a minimum score on. Those scores are then, with our professional and unique system, rendered into a final score with a certain minimum score total to pass. In other words, this process is indicating to you that the home you have chosen is a good or acceptable purchase. All of this is done, not before you make the offer, but rather, before you are obligated to do the final contingency removal and are bound by contract. This scoring will help you know things such as:

• Will my home resell reasonably well?
• Can I expect a market value when I resell? 
• Will my home have some sort of functional obsolescence? 
• Will I be buying a white elephant that has no obvious outward appearance of an issue to a layman's eyes?
• Is the price or condition of the home I am accepting good enough to create a passing score?  (This can help a buyer who is caught in a bid war and concerned about the price being paid or what negative impact an "as is" sale will have on the score.)

This score system is not a deal killer, as the score test is fairly easy to pass, but it IS a buyer protector.  Why? The average real estate transaction has no real uniform way for agents to warn you of issues not covered by the current due diligence inspections. This is not only because it does not exist except for our service, but also because no matter how savvy and honest your agent is, you will never know if they are telling you everything that they can see from their vast professional experience, knowing their commission is on the line if they do. This is a subtle and hidden conflict that goes back decades in our industry.  A simple napkin test could alleviate this issue, and we have it.  The premise of this scoring method is that the house does not fail for one particular issue, but rather it can only fail for several contributing issues looking at the house as a whole and this is easy to do in one complete scoring process. 

I must make it clear that this inspection and scoring system does not exist anywhere but in my firm at this time.  I created it to better serve and protect my clients. There are many years of real estate background and experience that I have that are poured into this unique scoring method.  Soon, other agents will be using this method too, but we are beta testing it now.  You can benefit from it for no charge. I believe God gave us this idea, and the way I  know this is because it is based on "serving" and "caring" and "truthfulness." The customer is put first, before anything or anyone else. 

What is our scoring system like?  It is like you having a trusted friend or family member who has real estate savvy and knowledge from decades of brokering real estate, and they stop by after your purchase during your escrow to give you their own opinion and stamp of approval on your purchase. What is the value of you having a resource like this person? It is immeasurable. Our scoring system is much like having such a person.

The process takes about 1-2 hours, and it is done during the inspection period after your offer is accepted and escrow has begun, preferably in the first 2-3 days. It is thorough but very fair.  It allows a buyer to feel confident that there are very experienced eyes, who know what to look for, on their next home purchase. 

Call us to get more information if you are planning to buy a home.

Your cost? O! Zero, Zip, Nada, Zilch! We simply use our resource for your benefit, at no cost, as we represent you as our buyer.

Marketing On Steroids!

Greg Nichols, broker with MFN Realty is a marketing expert in the real estate business and in other fields too.  Procedures and methods have been put in place in Greg's personal marketing tool box to highly expose your home to it's target market. Most firms do not do what we do.  

Read this review from a happy seller:   "After designing and building our own home 35 years ago, we found that selling our house was a daunting task! Luckily, Greg was there explaining every step of the way and reassuring us that the right buyer was just around the corner. In spite of heavy smoke covering our beautiful property from the California fires and a pandemic lockdown, the perfect family for our unique home emerged. Greg and Debbie had wisely targeted San Francisco in their marketing strategy. We highly recommend Greg and Debbie Nichols to be your choice for a reliable real estate agent and broker. Miracles do happen in the hands of the right people!"    GB

Our system uses several strategies to maximize qualified and hungry buyers for Sacramento Valley and Placer County homes. Often, the buyers are all cash buyers. If your home is medium priced at $500,000 to $750,000, there are buyers out there for your home. 

Luxury owners take notice!  

Just One Strategy We Have is Explained Here!

The higher the price of home, the more our system can deliver. But lower priced homes sell fast too for obvious reasons. We are headquartered in Roseville, and we specialize in Roseville, but we also specialize in luxury homes in surrounding areas.  One method is a system where we have marketing set up for our own listings in the Greater Sacramento Area, the San Francisco Bay Area and in the Greater Los Angeles Area where many high end and all cash buyers are plentiful. These 3 areas have just under 29 million people between them. There is a migration factor from both of those outside areas to our Sacramento Valley because of our more affordable homes.  We have spent 4 years setting up a network to reach out to all 3 areas digitally to expose our client's normal priced homes (at no cost to our sellers) and our client's luxury homes to the cash wealthy buyers in these 3 areas. Many buyers come from those locations with all cash and may have sold a home there that is a 3 or 4 bedroom, 2 bath home, with 1700 square feet in the $1 million to $1.5 million range. Then they see our Sacramento or Placer or El Dorado County client's homes which are 2 or 3 or 4 times the size for 1.5 or 2 million dollars. If your home is worth only $600,000 or $700,000, it still looks like a palatial mansion compared to what they sold. Our system showcases your home to these areas repeatedly along with marketing to the buyer market in this area too until you are sold. This extra value costs you nothing extra. Call Greg Nichols today to get more details and to get an estimate of value on your home.
