Real estate brokers will have an extra incentive to sell a Freddie Mac Homesteps home in Las Vegas beginning this weekend.
Freddie Mac is offering a $1,000 bonus to a selling agent for all offers that are placed on a HomeSteps property in the metropolitan area.
Besides the bonus, the GSE is also allowing for a maximum 3.5% buyer’s closing cost for an agent who receives an offer on a home by May 16.
The deal is also taking place for any offers that are received with escrow closed by July 1.
All of the incentives are only valid for HomeSteps homes sold to owner-occupant buyers.
HomeSteps is the Freddie Mac sales unit responsible for marketing and selling Freddie Mac REO homes to homeowners and investors.
HomeSteps manages every stage of the REO process, from handling title issues after foreclosure to working with local listing agents to facilitate a sale.
Freddie Mac said the acquisition of a Las Vegas HomeSteps home may also come with a two-year Home Protect limited home warranty that covers electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, heating and other major systems and appliances. Home Protect also provides discounts of up to 30% on the purchase of appliances.
According to the Freddie Mac website, there are 200 HomeSteps properties in the Las Vegas metropolitan area that range from $22,000 to $400,000.
