I contacted Rosalind Booker from Harold Carter Realtors Plano office. We were working with Home…read morePartners of America (a legitimate company). They are a Rent to own business. You find the home you would like to purchase and Home Partners of America will purchase the home in cash, and allow you to move in almost immediately. You then enter a rent to own agreement with them to purchase the home from them when you are in a financial position to do so. Yes, you will pay more than you would have if you were able to obtain a home loan yourself, but Home Partners of American is an option for people that are tired of apt dwelling, and would like to live in a home, but are not in a position to currently purchase. We set up an appointment with Rosalind for Saturday morning 9:00 am to see 3-4 homes. Not hearing from her, I texted her around 10:00 am to see if we were still on. She informed me that she had sent me an email informing me that she could not work with us after all. Her exact words: " After researching and much collective & great thought, it is with such regret that I must decline entering into an agreement to represent you in the purchase of a home, in conjunction with Home Partners. Their business model is not conducive to my core values and business principles that work in the best interest of my clients. I do apologize. I am sure there is another agent who would be willing to assist you today. Best wishes in your home buying journey." We were technically not her clients. Home Partners of America would have been her clients on our behalf. Home Partners of America requires us to work with a Realtor. The Realtor's job is to take us to see the property. If we find one that we like, the Realtor will let HPA know that we found a home that we liked and submit the offer to Home Partners of America who are the actual buyers. They then purchase the home and we move in. What is not conductive to her core values and business principles concerning this company? This company is a CASH CLIENT. Is CASH against her core values? If so, she needs to find another business. Everyone is out there to make money, and Home Partners of America is becoming one of the fastest Rent to Own businesses out there. They had 1 complaint out of 3 years with the Better Business Bureau and it was resolved. It's no different then someone applying for a credit card or a car loan and their credit is not up to par. Even though they can find someone to grant them the credit they are seeking, they expect to pay a higher interest rate and they are prepared to do so. Is anyone policing them or are the car salesmen telling a customer, I cannot sell you a car because of my core values and business principles. These people are charging you higher interest rates and I don't think it's in your best interest to purchase a car, so I cannot represent you. If every sales person did that, everyone would be out of work. Adults are intelligent enough to make their own decisions, and they don't need a Realtor like Rosalind Booker policing a company who is purchasing a home with CASH on behalf of their clients. Since Home Partners of America is becoming one of the fastest Rent to Own businesses out there, how many other people will she turn down who will be using HPA, to one day own their dream home? We really regret wasting our time with her, because we were not able to find another Realtor to see the properties we had lined up with her on such a short notice. We may not get another shot at those properties and now have to start from scratch, when we could have submitted an offer today. Thanks a lot Rosalind Booker!!!

My wife and I started looking around and there are a number of things that drew us here to start. 1) Location. It's probably 35 mins outside of downtown Dallas. There is not more space per day to build (in the areas we looked) so a lot of buildings are going vertical and going higher. Also a lot of the homes are north of $400,$500 even on up from that. 2) County feel but close to Historic Downtown Mckinney. We are 5 miles or so away from Downtown McKinney which was a big thing for my wife. Location here is pretty key. 3) Outdoor space. There is going to be 450 acres of Greenbelt space, parks, hike and bike trails, beach entry swimming pool, nature playground, event lawn, clubhouse, disc golf, fishing piers, kayak & canoe launch, scenic overlooks and more. They will have a couple of schools in the master planned community as well. Overall we couldn't be happier to move into our house and the process with Beazer couldn't have been any better. Art over at Beazer is amazing! I would definitely recommend going and talking with him if you are looking anywhere in the area. You'll. E glad you did. Designing everything and every detail that goes into your home is amazing!

If you're getting Frisky, consider moving to Frisco…read more There were a few weeks when it actually looked like we were going to have to move to Dallas and we were not too thrilled about that. Sorry Dallas. We prefer HOU. More diverse and Queensesque. And it's home for Bae. We were considering Plano but there were some drawbacks. Then we were considering Frisco because it would have been close to where Barbie was working, or would have been working, and not too far from where I was working, or was supposed to be working, and because it's sort of like a leafy perfectly safe Suburban Paradise. One of the drawbacks was that it was actually quite expensive considering that Texas prices are fairly cheap. Yes these properties are incredibly nice but they're also a little bit generic and not cheap at all. They were gorgeous though and we enjoyed touring around a few of the different homes that we were interested in - and we definitely will consider living here if we ever have to live in the North burbs of Dallas for any depressing reason. Better to live in these slightly-more-diverse (well, Plano and Carrollton and Richardson, if not Frisco) North burbs though, than in the nightmarish endless west burbs, the remote East burbs, or the downtrodden south burbs.

Seeing that the hubby had just gotten a new gig, we weren't sure pre-approval, or any kind of approval and house hunting was in our future. In swoops Chuck, like a mortgage superhero! He was confident in our assets and credit scores. He immediately got us pre-approved and worked with our lovely real estate agent. The next month or so was like a dream, and no, I don't mean the bad kind. We put an offer on an awesome home and it was accepted. From then on out, Chuck was with us for every step of the way, and even attended the closing "ceremony." We got a great rate, and honestly, I am still a little shell shocked at how easy the whole process evolved. I know having Chuck on our side was a huge reason.
