Dallas Veteran Home Buyer Program

 

As you probably know if you are reading this page that there are VA Loan programs available for Military Members, Retired Members, Disabled Members and Veterans. This is no secret. But what about the Real Estate Agent's Role in your Home Buying Process?

 

Dallas Veterans Home Buyer Program

I will give you 30% of my gross commissions (at a successful closing) in the form of closing costs when you elect to have our Real Estate Firm represent you in your purchase.

 

What does it cost you to have me as your buyer's agent?

Zero Dollars!

 

In a Real Estate transaction, the seller pays both the Listing Agent and the Buyer's Agent Commission at Closing.

​

Can a Real Estate Agent in Texas help pay my closing costs?

​

The department of Justice says yes!

Who pays for Closing Costs on a VA Loan?

​

VA Closing Costs may be paid by the purchaser, the seller, the agent or the lender.

​

However; VA Closing Costs and the way they are handle are quite different than closing cost from a conventional or FHA Loan.

 

Here's a list of items the VA borrower MAY pay for.

​

• Appraisal

• Credit Report

• Title Insurance

• Origination Fee

• Recording Fee

• Survey

​

Here's a list of items the VA borrower CAN NOT pay for.

• Attorney

• Underwriting

• Escrow

• Processing

• Document

• Tax Service

 ​

​

So who can pay for the items that the VA Borrower is not allowed to pay for?

 

• The Seller Can Pay

• The Agent Can Pay

• The Borrower Can Pay

​

Yes I just told you that you weren't allowed to pay and now I'm telling you that you can pay!

​

What's up with this?

​

Here's how it works!

 

In lieu of charging the borrower non-allowed fees, the lender can charge a one percent origination fee instead of itemized non-allowable charges for things such as attorney or underwriting charges.

 

Summary

The VA Loan process and Home Buying Experience is indeed different and quite frankly can be confusing.

​
