Buyers, have you heard the word about the recently available SmartBuy purchase program run by HomeSteps, a Freddie Mac Unit? If not, read on. Through the SmartBuy purchase program, HomeSteps can pay up to 3.5%* of your purchase price in closing costs for initial offers presented on HomeSteps homes between July 17, 2009 – October 30, 2009, with escrow closed by December 31, 2009.
To qualify for the offer:
1. Complete the SmartBuy Buyer’s Closing Cost registration form: http://www.homesteps.com/smart_buy.htm#form.
2. Ask your real estate agent to show you the available HomeSteps homes in your area.
3. Confirm with your real estate agent that the Home Protect** Home Warranty is available with this home.
4. Present your completed Buyer’s Closing Cost coupon upon initial offer on a HomeSteps home.
5. Receive your SmartBuy Buyer’s Closing Cost offer, upon qualified closing.

*As an example of your savings, if the purchase price of your home is
$150,000, HomeSteps will pay up to $5,250 of your closing costs. This
savings is money that you can use for moving expenses or new
furnishings. (Please note HomeSteps will only pay up to 3.5%* of your
purchase price in closing costs, not to exceed the total closing costs.
For instance, if your purchase price is $125,000, and your closing
costs are $4,250, HomeSteps will only pay $4,250, an amount equal to
3.4% of your purchase price.)
