I previously discussed finding Realtor to purchase a home after your bankruptcy. But, a big question remains -- Should you tell them about your bankruptcy?
Here are my thoughts -- I would not immediately volunteer the information. I would first vet them for their professionalism and experience. Then, I would line up a mortgage professional to get you a pre-approval letter. If you are not beyond your 24 months, you won't be able to get a pre-approval letter yet.
I would then approach the Realtor with "your story". Explain why (but keep it brief) you went into bankruptcy (i.e. medical, job loss) and what has changed to make a home purchase possible. Present your budget and your income. Explain what you can afford and why. Explain your timeline to purchase, where you want to purchase, and your long-term plan. The more, organized information you can provide, the better.
