Dear Mr. Brown:
This letter is in response to your inquiry dated August 26, 1999, regarding the above-named property.
I appreciate the time and effort that you put into the details of your letter and I am impressed by the achievements of Kleinhans Community Association (KCA). It is understandable that you are interested in all the properties in the KCA. HomeSteps has earned a solid reputation as a good neighbor in communities where it has acquired properties. We move quickly to secure and maintain the exterior of homes, and in a majority of cases, we refurbish the home to move-in condition.
It is our practice to make available HomeSteps homes to any purchasers who are financially qualified. HomeSteps is marketing this property in accordance with our standard policies and procedures and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Each offer is reviewed at the time it is received and negotiated until there is an agreement, or until the offer is rejected or withdrawn.
We negotiate each offer based on the highest and best net return to HomeSteps, without regard for buyer characteristics except those related to financial affordability. It is not our practice to collect purchaser information that could be interpreted as setting the stage for discriminatory decision-making. We believe in providing equal, unbiased opportunity for financially qualified purchasers.
I hope you find this information helpful in understanding our process at HomeSteps. If I can be of further assistance, please contact me at (972) 702-2040.
Sincerely,
Chris Bowden
Operations Director
