These homes are great values and worth the little extra effort required to find and buy one! Please read the explanation below or contact us for an explanation of how to view and purchase a HUD property. To view HUD properties you have three options: (1) Contact Nancy and I (or any Realtor registered with HUD) and have us send the MLS listings to you by e-mail and show you the property; or (2a) Perform your own search by clicking on this Nationwide HUD Search link, then call us to show you the property, or, (2b) if you are interested only in Tennessee properties, click on the Tennessee Search link which will take you to the Bid Select Tennessee HUD Property Search; or, (3) Click on the HUD and REO links for the type property you are interested in. Then, call us to show you and bid on the properties.

To bid on a HUD/VA property you must utilize the services of an approved HUD/VA broker (hopefully, you will call us) and have a pre qualification letter from your lender in a special HUD format at the time you submit your bid. The simplest way to pre qualify for financing is to contact Coldwell Banker Mortgage on their toll free line. There is no cost or obligation. Within 30 minutes you should be pre qualified and your letter on the way. Call 866-873-3375 seven days up to 8:00 p.m. CST, tell them we asked you to call, that you want to buy a HUD home, and that it is ok for them to discuss your application with us. They will provide us a copy of your approval and we will then be ready to look at homes. If you would like, you may contact us and have us contact Coldwell Banker Mortgage with you on the phone to assist you in the pre qualification. We will be looking forward to hearing from you very soon.

The bid period on new HUD listings is very limited - no more that nine days or less. It is important to view the properties and to submit your bid as soon as possible after the home is listed for sale. It will be a lot simpler and easier for you to call us and let us walk you through the process of acquiring a HUD home. We will provide you with a complete list of available properties and daily updates by e-mail.of properties meeting your specific needs. This way you will get these listings before most Realtors are even aware of them. Then, just phone us to see any property.

If you have a property to sell, we would like to discuss our marketing plan with you. We will sell your home in 90 days, guaranteed. If you would like to build a home we work with the best builders! Call us for details.

Sincerely,

Bill and Nancy Oakes

P. S. Please put "HUD Real Estate" as the subject in any email correspondence to separate it from all of the spam we receive. Due to the short time limits on HUD bids and the risk of our accidentally overlooking your e-mail, it is really best that you phone us rather than e-mail. Call our direct line at 615-822-2779 (toll free 800-711-8498) or cell phones at 615-812-2828 or 615-202-8028. Thanks!
