Bob Lanzner and Gina Spearman are this week’s guests on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio. Bob and Gina both share advice for homebuyers who are trying to navigating the current housing market.
Bob Lanzner is an associate broker with Coldwell Banker RMR. Coldwell Banker RMR covers all aspects of real estate: new construction, REOs, resales, short sales, leasing, residential and commercial. Bob mostly works in the residential size and specializes in foreclosures, short sales and resales.
One of the best deals for all homebuyers today is the historically low interest rates that buyers are able to get. Whilethese interest rates are low now, they will not last forever, which makes now a good time to buy a home. In addition, low interest rates don’t just apply to foreclosure properties, but to all properties. However, the combination of low interest rates and low foreclosure prices is an added bonus to buyers. Some of Coldwell Banker’s current foreclosure communities include Addison Glen in Lithonia, which has four and five bedroom homes priced from the low $200,000s. Another one is Ginger Lake Estates in Conyers with four bedroom and two-and-a-half bath from the $160,000s.

Our next guest is Gina Spearman who is a sales manager with Academy Mortgage. Academy Mortgage was recently named the number one independent lender in the country for the second year in a row. They were also named as one of the top three new construction lenders in Atlanta.
Academy Mortgage is a great company for homebuyers looking to purchase a home because they are not tied to a bank, and they solely focus on mortgages. Buyers should use mortgage companies such as Academy because they can make sure your home closes on time with no surprises and they provide proactive communication throughout the process. Gina encourages homebuyers of all credit histories and financial standings to at least complete the paperwork to be considered for a loan because even though it is a time consuming process, Academy is willing to work with you to get you in a home
