Swift Homes Honored in IMN’s Single Family Rental Awards

ATLANTA, Ga. -- The Information Management Network (IMN) recently announced its Single Family Rental (SFR) Awards and named Swift Homes to the shortlist for Online Marketplace of the Year. The awards celebrate excellence in the single-family rental industry.

"We're honored to announce that we have been shortlisted," Zach Fertig, Swift Homes President and Co-founder, said.

Swift Homes is a marketplace that sources off-market, single-family homes for institutional single family rental funds directly from homeowners. The company has already seen exponential growth which is expected to continue into 2023.

The founding of Swift Homes was inspired by the realization that, when selling to flippers and traditional wholesalers, many who sell off-market get significantly less than the value of their homes. The company saw an opening to help meet the needs of those seeking to sell easily and efficiently, but at the best possible price.

Today, Swift Homes provides SFR buyers with high-quality and high-yield deals while minimizing the use of the SFR fund's in-house resources. Swift Homes employees treat the company's buyers as partners and assist them by managing the transaction for them from start to finish. They also strive to improve the home selling experience for their sellers.

To speak to that effort, Swift Homes has 500+ 5-star reviews and an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. The positive experience for customers stems from the company's unique approach. "We believe the personalized concierge service we provide for both our buyers and sellers helps to set us apart from others in the industry," Fertig said.

Swift Homes currently focuses on the southeast and midwest regions, with 17 active markets - and anticipated growth into new markets. Swift helps homeowners sell their home in Atlanta, Dallas, Charlotte, Houston, and more. In 2023 and beyond, the company plans to add more products paired with increased functionality for its online presence. Fertig said, "In a constantly evolving industry, we will continue striving to find innovative ways to simplify and optimize the real estate transaction and launch new products for sellers, buyers, and renters alike."

The SFR Awards Ceremony will be held in Scottsdale, Arizona, on December 4, 2022. IMN will announce the winner for Online Marketplace of the Year and all of its other categories at the event.

About Swift Homes:

Swift Homes' mission is to help homeowners achieve the best outcome when selling their home. Listing a home on the market comes with huge fees and uncertainty. Local investors reduce that uncertainty, however, capitalize on homeowners in distress by purchasing their homes for very little and reselling them at massive profits.

Swift looks to put those profits back in the hands of homeowners by connecting them with a network of institutional single-family rental funds that provide competitive cash offers, complete all the repairs, and close quickly. Together the Swift Homes team has over 20 years of experience buying homes across the United States and has successfully closed on over 5,000 homes. Learn more: https://www.selltoswift.com/.

Swift Homes Makes It Easy for Georgia Homeowners to Sell Their Homes Fast

ATLANTA, Ga. -- Swift Homes, a nationally-recognized enterprise that facilitates home sales for customers across the United States, has worked on many transactions in the State of Georgia. The company is composed of experienced and highly knowledgeable individuals committed to helping homeowners sell their properties as swiftly as possible for competitive cash offers.

Many sellers in Atlanta, Columbus, and beyond choose Swift Homes because they offer a streamlined process with exceptional customer service. By providing offers on houses in as-is condition, Swift Homes also eliminates some of the hassle and stress that homeowners might otherwise experience.

Having operated in the industry for many years now, Swift Homes recognizes the numerous downsides that can come along with traditional real estate deals. Homeowners opting to work with real estate agents have commission fees to contend with, as well as the potential inconvenience and frustration of home showings and back-and-forth negotiations. A lot of Swift Homes' appeal stems from the fact that they operate in a different, more customer-friendly manner. While the company typically works on transactions for single-family properties that are subsequently rented out to local families in need of housing, they do occasionally consider other kinds of properties as well.

Homeowners in cities like Augusta, Savannah, and Roswell also choose to work with Swift Homes because the company's cash offers are consistently dependable. This reliability stems from the company's backing by a robust private equity fund. Most sellers also greatly appreciate that they are not required to invest substantial time or money into making extensive repairs or large-scale renovations. All of this translates to transactions that are concluded as rapidly and smoothly as possible.

At this point, the Swift Homes team has facilitated the purchase of an astounding number of homes: more than 5,000 from coast to coast. Whether they're experiencing unexpected financial hardships, changes in occupation, or anything else necessitating selling a residential property quickly, homeowners have peace of mind knowing that the team at Swift Homes is in their corner.

Swift Homes' time-tested process has a number of clearly-defined steps for sellers to follow. The first matter of business is for homeowners to submit their property details to the company directly. Once that is sent to Swift Homes, their associates will analyze the information presented and put together a personalized deal proposal with the cash offer attached. Prospective sellers are under no obligation whatsoever to accept the offers they receive, and will not face any pressure from Swift Homes to go along with deals they are not comfortable with. For those that do want to move forward, Swift Homes schedules standard third party inspections so that the houses can be assessed in full. As soon as the agreed upon closing date has arrived and all requirements have been met, the company furnishes cash payments to the customers.

With an effective process, highly competitive cash offers backed by private equity, and exemplary customer service, Swift Homes remains confident in its ability to provide homeowners in places like Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, and Marietta with an unmatched home selling experience. Sellers seeking to work with Swift Homes are able to maintain control of the process from beginning to end, and can decline to move forward at any time.

Residents of Georgia and other states interested in selling their homes can call (877) 861-2466 to speak with a friendly Swift Homes representative.

The company also encourages those desiring additional information to visit https://www.selltoswift.com/ or send email correspondence to hello@SellToSwift.com.

The Hyde Park Homes Tour Showcases Century-Old Homes this October

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Five historic homes and one historic stone chapel, will open their doors for tours during the biennial Hyde Park Historic Homes Tour. The Tour hosted by The Hyde Park Neighborhood Association (HPNA) will be held Saturday, October 1 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.

The biennial tour showcases the architectural diversity and unique character of historic Hyde Park, which is nestled in the heart of midtown Kansas City, conveniently located between the Plaza and Crown Center.

TOUR HOMES INCLUDE:

* 3341 Campbell Street, a unique modification of a traditional Kansas City Shirtwaist style home. Built in 1904 by the Cowherd Bros., it was at one time owned by Abraham Rheinstrom. After WWII, this home was turned into rooms for rent, but it is now, once again, a single-family home.

* 819 E. 31st Street, is a two story live-work space. The home's first floor is dedicated work and play space and includes the homeowner's office, collector car space, and a golf simulator. The second floor is a soaring modern style space built for entertaining.

* 2 Janssen Place, an Italianate Revival built in 1905 by lumber businessman John Henry Tschudy. Interior woodwork features eleven different woods. The current owners bought the home in 1985 and have done an extensive restoration, for which they received a special Preservation Award from the Historic Kansas City Foundation in 1994. The home has also been featured by Hallmark on holiday cards.

* 4343 Campbell Street, a Kansas City shirtwaist built in 1900. The home was formerly the Rockingham Academy for girls, where Joan Crawford attended and lived from 1919-1922. The home was derelict for decades until recently when it was renovated and restored to its former glory.

* 4346 Harrison Street, a stately 1908 brick home featuring original and unique millwork throughout. The home has been renovated and features a large kitchen with wraparound island and a third floor primary bedroom suite.

* 3801 Gillham Road, Pilgrim Chapel and its parsonage house were built in 1941 and 1942. The structure is stone with exposed stone interior walls and timber trusses.

Climate-controlled shuttle buses transport visitors to each stop on the Saturday tour.

"When you visit Hyde Park, the personality of the homes and the people who live in them show our neighborhood spirit," said Angie Splittgerber, HPNA's president. "We are constantly evolving as a community, and yet, we are anchored by the desire to preserve these amazing historic homes."

In 2013, the Historic Kansas City Foundation recognized The Hyde Park Homes Tour with a Community Catalyst Preservation Award for the contribution the Tour made to the reinvestment and revitalization of a historic neighborhood. The HPNA is a 501 (c)3 not for profit corporation.

This project is supported in part by the City of Kansas City, Missouri Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund.

Down Payment Resource releases Q2 2022 Homeownership Program Index

ATLANTA, Ga. -- Down Payment Resource (DPR), the nationwide database for U.S. homebuyer assistance programs, today announced findings from its latest Homeownership Program Index (HPI). The firm's analysis of 2,273 homebuyer assistance programs in its DOWN PAYMENT RESOURCE® database revealed that the net number of homebuyer assistance programs increased by 1.6% from Q1 to Q2 2022. This marks the third consecutive quarter the number of homebuyer assistance programs has grown.

Methodology

Published quarterly, DPR's HPI surveys the funding status, eligibility rules and benefits of U.S. homebuyer assistance programs administered by state and local housing finance agencies, municipalities, nonprofits and other housing organizations. DPR communicates with over 1,200 program providers throughout the year to track and update the country's wide range of homeownership programs, including down payment and closing cost programs, Mortgage Credit Certificates and affordable first mortgages, in the DOWN PAYMENT RESOURCE® database.

Key Findings

The Q2 2022 HPI examined a total of 2,273 homebuyer assistance programs that were active as of July 5, 2022. Key findings are as follows:

* The net number of homebuyer assistance programs increased. The number of programs increased by 35 Q2 2022. Among them were five nationwide or multi-state programs and 12 statewide programs. Assistance for first mortgages, combined down payment and closing cost support, community second mortgages and deed restriction programs were also added.

* Support for manufactured homes increased again. For the third consecutive quarter the number of programs that support manufactured home purchases have increased. 625 programs now support manufactured home loans, up from 594 in Q1 2022.

* Programs offering veteran exemptions grew. The number of programs that waive first-time homebuyer requirements for veterans increased from 176 to 184 (4.5%) this quarter.

"Despite a slight increase in the number of inactive and suspended programs, our analysis indicates that opportunities for homebuyer assistance are continuing to grow," said DPR CEO Rob Chrane. "With inflation reaching 40-year highs, aggressive interest rate hikes and limited housing inventory, connecting consumers with financial support for down payment and closing costs is more important than ever. In this especially challenging housing market, program providers are finding creative ways to help qualified homebuyers overcome economic obstacles and achieve the long-term financial benefits of homeownership."

Further analysis of the Q2 2022 HPI findings, including infographics and examples of many of the programs described in this release, can be found on DPR's website at https://downpaymentresource.com/professional-resource/more-homebuyer-assistance-programs-are-introduced-as-mortgage-rates-and-home-prices-swell/.
