C.A.R. introduces Clarus FHA Approval™ – Eligibility Check
Clarus FHA Approval™ Eligibility Check is the only service to allow real-time search by property address to quickly determine FHA loan eligibility and approval for condominiums and townhomes. Eligibility Check reports help you to identify and evaluate a property’s FHA loan eligibility before making an offer.
The database is updated daily so you can keep track of any changes in FHA loan eligibility status throughout the transaction. Ensure that you avoid failed transactions and non-recoverable costs due to undetermined FHA loan eligibility status.
FHA loans currently represent almost half of all new mortgages nationwide. The ability for you to easily determine FHA eligibility for your FHA clients is critical to conduct business with condominium homeowners associations (HOA). Clarus FHA Approval™ Eligibility Check will meet this need easily and save you time and money.
For more information about Clarus FHA Approval™, please visit www.clarusfhaapproval.com.
Clarus FHA Approval™ also offers Approval Services to assist condominium homeowners associations in obtaining FHA approval. You are encouraged to help us spread the word about the need for condominium homeowners associations to obtain FHA approval. Condominium associations referred by a REALTOR® receive significant discounts off the standard processing fees. Further details are available by calling 818-338-6588 or at www.clarusfhaapproval.com.
Treasury Expands HAFA Short Sales Program for Vacant Properties
