IS HOMES IN TRANSITION LEGITIMATE?

In today’s world there is an endless supply of scams, fraud and deceit and you would be foolish to not ask such a question about a program like Homes In Transition. 

From first glance the HIT program seems to be “Too Good To Be True”, offering a great deal for very little cost! The fact of the matter is – for most of our Homeowners there is NO COST – for Realtors there is NO COST, and for Caretakers, an amazing LOW COST arrangement.  

Since 2009 HIT has been a Better Business Bureau A+ rated company!  A few things you should know and can verify:

• You can Contact Us and come by our office to see we are real people

• We have a City of Albuquerque Business License

• Our Company and Qualifying Broker are registered with the New Mexico Real Estate Commission

What is a Homes In Transition (HIT) Caretaker?

A HIT Caretaker is a highly valued, responsible person or family that provides for the care, maintenance and show condition of the HIT house in which they reside. Caretakers in the HIT program have a wide variety of needs:

• People looking to reduce their living costs while living in a great house.
• Those that are dividing their household and need a good safe place to reside.
• Families moving to the city that need some time to check out the great neighborhoods our cities offer before they buy.
• Families that have been forced from their house, have great furniture and the understanding of living and managing a house but are on a tight budget.

What is the Homes in Transition Program

Homes In Transition, Inc. (HIT) breathes life into vacant houses! HIT offers a unique program matching qualified Caretaker occupants with vacant houses which greatly improves the marketability of the property while preserving both the value of the property and the neighborhood around it.

What Happens When My Listing Goes Under Contract?

The first thing is to Contact your Consultant or the HIT office by email to let us know you have an accepted offer on the house. VERY IMPORTANT – Be sure to pen in a closing date allowing at least 30 days notice for the Caretaker to be relocated!! We will contact the seller and obtain an official written notice to terminate the Agreement.

How the Diminishing Fee Works

The cost for HIT’s nationally recognized service is based on a “Diminishing Fee” which starts at $1500.00. Each 30 day period our Caretaker works to help sell the property, the fee diminishes by $500 and will diminish to zero (NO COST) after 90 days of occupancy. The best part, any applicable Diminishing Fee is paid prior to closing, with no up front cost!

After 90 days of Caretaker occupancy, There is NO COST and we continue providing YOU and and the Property Owner with all the same great service till the house sells! Great marketing advantage, little or no cost, guaranteed performance – That’s the HIT solution.

Persuading Your Sellers to Consider Homes in Transition

• Does your seller have adequate enforceable insurance? HIT Caretaker occupied can make the difference.

• Does your seller want relief from paying the utilities and other holding costs for their property? HIT pays these costs for the seller.

• Is your seller paying for a staging service that could be provided through the HIT program? HIT Caretakers use their own furniture and our staging experience to get the most marketability for the least possible cost.

• Is your seller concerned about preserving the value of the property and the neighborhood? HIT’s regular maintenance and property oversight guarantees the same condition of the property will be preserved.

• Is your seller about ready to drop the price or add and expensive addition like new carpet or paint? Often a Caretaker can increase traffic and eliminate the attention these areas of need can create in a vacant house. Using the HIT program is a great alternative.

• Has your seller’s property experienced vandalism, or worse? With a Caretaker in residence the risks of a vacant house are nearly eliminated!

• Is your seller’s situation getting desperate and closer to foreclosure? The HIT program can mean the difference between taking a hit and financial ruin.

• Does your sellers house compete it the market with other homeowner occupied houses that sell for higher prices, faster? HIT can transform that COLD vacant listing into a highly competitive SOLD property.

• HIT’s exclusive Diminishing Fee, if it becomes applicable, is collected AFTER closing, eliminating any up front costs for your seller.
