Legal
Terms of Use
Welcome to Fran's Homes. These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of www.franshomes.com (the "Website"). By using the Website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.
About Our Website
Fran's Homes offers homes for sale through a term buyer program. We use this Website to collect the information of people who are interested in a home. After you submit the form, our team passes your information to a local partner, who will reach out to you, answer your questions, schedule showings, and guide you through the next steps. The Website provides general information about the program and about homes that may be available. Homes shown are examples and may no longer be available, and nothing on the Website is a commitment, guarantee, or approval until a written agreement is signed.
How Our Purchase Terms Work
Homes in our program are offered through private, person-to-person contract-for-deed (installment contract) arrangements. Instead of a bank, the seller provides the payment terms, much like a lender would. Fran's Homes is not a bank and is not a licensed mortgage lender, and we do not offer traditional mortgage loans or bank financing. The payment terms are set out in a separate written agreement between you and the seller, and that written agreement controls over anything stated on the Website.
Homes Are Sold As Is
All homes are sold as is, in their current condition. Unless your written agreement says otherwise, we make no promises about the condition of a home or about repairs. We encourage you to inspect any home before you agree to buy it.
Homes and Pricing
Homes shown on the Website are examples of properties that are or have been available. Availability, prices, photos, and details can change at any time without notice, and a home shown may no longer be available. Statements such as "under $90k" describe the general price range of homes in our program, not a price offer for any particular home. Details such as bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage are approximate and should be confirmed with our team.
No Guarantee of Approval
Submitting the form does not guarantee that you will qualify for the program or for any home. Approval depends on factors such as your ability to make the required down payment and monthly payments, and on the terms set by the property owner.
Contact From Us
When you submit the form on the Website, you agree that we and our partners may contact you by phone call, text message, and email about your inquiry and available homes. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. Please see our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information.
