A Message From Rhode Island Association Of Realtors President

Bruce Lane

Though buying a home can have its stressful moments, my 22 years of experience as a Realtor have shown me that overall, it’s generally a happy occasion. Unfortunately, for one Rhode Island buyer last month, the purchase process was marred by an unfortunate incident.

complied and the scam was discovered only after $13,000 was transferred to a French bank account.

If you are in the process of buying a home, please be aware that fraudulent email scams are occurring nationwide and take steps to protect yourself. Speak with your agent upfront about what to expect and how communications about money will be handled. If you do get a request for a fund transfer, verify with your agent – not by email - but directly with them by phone or in person. And always send sensitive information via encrypted email. The chances that your home buying experience will be targeted by a scammer are slim but the possibility does exist. An ounce of prevention goes a long way in making sure that attaining the American dream of homeownership remains everything that dreams are made of.

Cybercrime is everywhere and a particularly sophisticated wire scam has found its way to Rhode Island. A broker recently reported that a scammer hacked an agent’s email, monitored transaction information and then sent emails using the agent’s email address to buyers instructing them to wire funds to the broker’s escrow account. Apparently, the emails also connected the scammer with actual home buyers and addresses of property that they wished to buy.

In the example I referenced earlier, the buyer received an email asking for a $13,000 deposit and emailed his agent to ask why she needed more money. The scammer emailed that she was in closings and would explain later, but to wire the funds. Unfortunately the buyer

Pre-Approved Safety

by Daniel E. Giroux, Owner, A-Plus Mortgage

In today’s fast-moving purchasing market, a pre-approval has become an important factor in a seller’s decision making process.

Pre-approvals are meant to ensure the seller and the seller’s agent and the buyer and the buyer’s agent, the said transaction has been reviewed and will get approved if the offer is accepted. Pre-approvals can sometimes be the reason a purchase offer is not accepted by the seller. For example, an FHA loan requires a property meets certain guidelines including elimination of peeling paint on the outside or inside of the home, so if there is an issue with paint, the FHA loan will not be approved. A VA loan pre-approval can be halted due to a required termite inspection, the buyer is not allowed to pay for it leaving the cost on the seller and if the seller will not pay for the inspection the loan will not be approved.

When a buyer is in the process of being pre-approved their loan originator should continuously explore options for the buyer, doing more than just filling in boxes on an application. The loan originator should verify given information received and put the pieces of the puzzle together to create the best possible option for the buyer.

Furthermore, there is an even more crucial safety aspect of a pre-

As a seller,

approval. Besides the obvious monetary risk both the seller and buyer experience during the loan process: inspections, appraisals, repairs done by the seller, the seller’s potential wasted time and money while the property is off the market while waiting if the loan is not approved, there is a physical safety component for the buyer’s agent, seller’s agent and the seller.

When a client is not properly pre-approved, there is no way of knowing who that client is. A proper pre-approval requires numerous items including identification. Proper identification and following a safety protocol ensures the seller that they are not allowing strangers to come into their personal space. This also ensures that they can be more comfortable with whom enters their home. With a good loan originator and buyer’s agent, who gets to know their client, there is less risk of tragedy occurring even for them. In past cases, potential ‘false buyers’ have unlocked windows to return to the home at a later date and some have scanned homes to later steal from the seller. The safety issue for the buyer’s agent is just as crucial, in 2014 Beverly Carter was murdered, in 2011 Ashley Okland was murdered; in 2006, Sarah Anne Walker was stabbed 27 times while showing a home.

This is not an uncommon occurrence and we as professional need to do our part to protect everyone involved.

Sellers: Ask your agents if clients coming into your home have been pre-approved, if they have not provided proof of pre-approval, do not allow them into your home for your own safety and protection.

Buyers Agents: Follow up with the company that pre-approved the buyer, ask them if they have verified the clients information including a clear copy of their ID.

approval letter prior to showing a property.

Buyers: Do not be offended or upset that you are required to get preapproved. If you are really looking for a new home then you should want to be pre-approved before you go shopping.

Maybe I’m being a bit too safe here but it seems like a very easy solution to a potential problem. I personally would not allow a person to come view my home unless they were pre-approved so I can’t understand why anyone would want to let a random stranger into theirs. If you have any questions or would like more information about the SAFE - Pre-approval process at A-Plus Mortgage LLC, call me anytime.

Our home sold for well over asking price and we paid less in fees than I have with any other Real Estate company! I highly recommend Esquire to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Dear Dan, I wanted to thank you again for your time and services. Halley was a pleasure to do business with and I greatly appreciate the extra smile she puts in. As you know, there are many hurdles in these transactions and it takes a special empathy at times.

It also takes a “unique” understanding of the process.

You are all wonderful professionals that are not rewarded enough for your performance, as I can see from the allocation of funds. - Mattie H.

TIPS

Building A New Home?

Did you receive your estimate as an itemized price list or by the square foot?

by Craig DiPetrillo

With the economy booming (so I hear), pricing on material is changing almost daily (so it feels). I have had this question asked of me about 10 times in the last 2 weeks: “how much will it cost per square foot to build a home”? You will hear quotes from $125.00 per SF to $225.00 per SF. My answer: what building material are you using, e.g., stick build or truss and what do you envision for your finish esthetics, e.g., chair rails, raised panels, crown moldings, granite? This is when my client says, “well, I would like some of those finishes, but not all of them are needed”. Okay then, this is where IF YOU HAD an agreement with the contractor at a price per square foot, it gets a little tricky and starts to fall apart.

Once you start removing and adding items it is almost impossible to adjust the square foot price for accuracy. The question now remains: are you actually 44

paying more or less on the square foot for what you are getting. My opinion, price the ACTUAL item, product, and linear footage for accuracy. Have a plan, a physical construction set. Then, if you don’t have a general contractor of choice, price it yourself. Visit at least two local lumberyards for a price on material, and they will give you a labor estimate when asked. Keep in mind though, the labor estimate, if given, may not be the same quality you are looking for, but it is exactly what you need to consider – “labor estimate”. The reason I believe and know this is the best way to go, is from over 25 years of personal experience.

Think about it, if you have a great room side by side with a formal dining room, both without interior walls, how would one believe the square foot (12”x 12”) estimate method is accurate? It cannot be. The best way to maintain your budget and accuracy in estimating is spending

Rhode Island Home Buyer Magazine | To Advertise Call Ralph Coppolino at 401-837-0239

the time to price nail by nail and a good general contractor (G.C.) that knows quality, who is affordable and a punctual individual with a knack for maintaining their client’s budget. Do not get into the big no-no after you sign an agreement with a G.C. and decide on upgrading items and changing the design plan! This is where the budget wanders off course, does not come back (only climbs higher) and the G.C. can now make up for lost money and time if one so decides in order to keep the job moving along. This warning is usually the one that blows all the budgets – “on-site changes”. So take it from me; first: take your time in planning, second: invest in what you can afford – not keeping up with the “Jones”, third: monitor and be involved in your construction process. After all, this is your home.

Happy building and enjoy the summer!
