San Antonio Texas Real Estate Agent Partners With Leading VA Loan Underwriter For Fast Funding For Off Base Housing Purchases

San Antonio, Texas - Kurt Hudspeth, a San Antonio real estate agent who specializes in military relocation assistance for clients at Randolph Air Force Base and nationwide, is partnering with one of the country’s leading underwriters of VA loans to provide fast funding for military personnel wanting to buy off-base housing.

An expert in military relocation, Hudspeth says that the new business relationship is expected to help his clients close loans much faster than through traditional sources of San Antonio VA loans.

Bruce Reichstein, President of Texcorp Mortgage Bankers and the lead VA automatic underwriter for www.VALoans.com, attributes his company’s success to hard work, taking care of details and to solely originating VA loans throughout military communities. As a leading source for VA loans in San Antonio, Texas, as well as throughout the U.S., Reichstein says that they have underwriters who work around the clock in order to allow Veterans to close quickly on military housing purchases.

"With Kurt's expertise in military relocation and our expertise in closing VA loans fast, we are able to provide unparalleled customer service to military families who want to buy a home" says Reichstein.

Hudspeth says that the new San Antonio homes market in particular is more attractive than many military personnel are aware.

"Many young families just don't realize how affordable a new home is in this market. There are builders out there offering nice buyers' incentives, and many of them are very motivated to move their new home inventory."

He says that his proximity to Randolph Air Force Base, Lackland Air Force Base, Brooks Air Force Base, and Fort Sam Houston makes it easy for him to meet in person with San Antonio military personnel to help them buy a home here. But he also says that he has a nationwide network of real estate agents who are committed to helping service men and women with their real estate needs in any market.

"We are the military relocation experts in the U.S. because we understand the needs of military families and can help them realize their dream of home ownership."

New San Antonio Homes See Increased Market Share According to Texas Real Estate Agent

San Antonio, TX – Texas real estate agent Kurt Hudspeth, a specialist in the new home market in San Antonio, sees increased market share for new homes vs. existing homes in coming months due to economic factors.

Hudspeth, who maintains a directory of San Antonio builders and follows the business, inventory, and special homebuyer incentives for new San Antonio homes, says that the economy and real estate market conditions have increased competition among builders.

"This increased competition for prospective buyers, especially given the fact that many experts still believe there is excess inventory, means that buyers are often in the driver's seat."

A number of San Antonio area builders are giving away attractive discounts and extra perks for buyers to boost interest in their offerings, says Hudspeth. He notes that many builders are carrying large loans on inventory that needs to be paid down if they are to survive the drop in new home construction demand since 2005.

One incentive sometimes offered by builders is a lower interest rate than is normally available from traditional mortgage sources.

"Competitive interest rates, like lower prices in general, has served to increase demand for new homes vs. existing homes in some cases, since the builders have the ability to negotiate better mortgage terms with lenders for their customers."

Asked if San Antonio new homes are often a better deal than existing homes, Hudspeth enthusiastically says yes.

"Buying a new home is a dream for a lot of people. It's hard to see a better time than right now to take advantage of the pressure builders face to reduce their inventory. Many buyers have a once in a lifetime opportunity to live out that dream of owning a brand new home."

San Antonio Real Estate Agent Launches Website Specializing in New San Antonio Homes and Builders

San Antonio, TX - Texas real estate agent Kurt Hudspeth, a buyer's agent specializing in new San Antonio homes and home builders, is launching a new website geared exclusively to the new San Antonio homes market. Hudspeth, an agent who makes it his career to follow the San Antonio home builders, says that there is a need in the market for an agent who knows what the builders have available and can represent buyers' interests in getting them the best deals.

"Most agents rely on existing San Antonio homes for sale to provide inventory for buyers to choose from, but there is a great opportunity right now for buyers to get into a new San Antonio home for a screaming bargain. Home builders have an incentive to make deals like never before, and my job is to know what those deals are and explain them to buyers."

He says he'd much rather be a niche player in the San Antonio real estate market than try to be all things to all people. The new home market is a niche he is passionate about, and he believes his expertise will directly benefit the bottom line when negotiating a transaction for his clients.

"Many buyers are only familiar with the builder who has advertised the most on television or who has the most billboards. What many new home buyers don't know is that there are some great San Antonio builder incentives offered that are not well-publicized. I make it a point to build a relationship with the local and national builders with communities in the San Antonio market so I know what's being offered."

Asked what makes his role as real estate agent different than most, he is quick to point out that he is exclusively a buyer's agent. That means he is not working for the builder, but representing the buyer exclusively and vigorously throughout the negotiating process.

What kind of builder incentives are available? He says they vary from outright cash back after closing, a great way to get some extra home furnishings, to airline miles and gift card shopping sprees.

"I work hard to learn what all the best San Antonio new home deals are and make them available to my clients" says Hudspeth.
