Ways To Secure A Georgia First Time Home Buyer Grant Fast

By Brad Johnson

There are some state offices that have had a small pamphlet printed where they tell you how to apply for and quicken a Georgia first time home buyer grant. These pamphlets are especially helpful to find your way around the intricate bureaucracy necessary to get a new home grant. They will explain the hows and whens of the process thoroughly.

The first thing to do is to find out where the grants head office is located in your state. The paperwork will be done in the grants office in the town where you live, but the decisions will not be taken there. Visit their office in your town and ask for the specific formats for each document that you have to present. Make a list of every paper you will need and double check so you do not make any mistakes.

The files that are complete and ready to go are put in a separate pile which is processed immediately. These are given priority and the government wheels start to slowly turn. Clerks somewhere else are assigned to work the different cases and your grant is on the move. These people start to verify your documents one by one.

Information is power, the more you know about the process before starting it, the faster you will get it done. Check out your state web site and download any formats and documents you need to complete. Read them over and bring them with you on your visit so you can get any doubts cleared by the clerk.

Questions like do you need an attorney? Do you have to pay something for the process? These are important things you must know so you come prepared next time you come. The list of necessary documents plus the grant solicitation letter format are also vital.

The most important way to push the process on fast is to provide them with all the documentation they need at the same time. These people have to deal with hundreds, maybe thousands of requests every day, if your file is not complete you will be wasting their time. They will take it and pout it somewhere until you come back and then they will let you know that you are missing documents.

At least a couple of weeks will go by before you come back, time is lost, your incomplete file may be lost I between hundreds of other files. The process will not start until your file is complete so there is no sense in bringing the documents in by lots. Bring everything in one batch and ask the clerk to look them over to see if something is missing.

It is very important that you accelerate the process. Finding out what areas of the city, you and your family qualify for is one way of doing it. Bringing in all the paperwork at the same time is another way to gain time. Information is your best friend when dealing with government procedures. The more you know the faster you will get things done.
