While no one has a crystal ball, the current Hilton Head Real Estate Market offers sellers some excellent opportunities this year. There is no reason to kick the ball down the street and wait until next year to sell. In fact, if you are listed for sale and or thinking of selling, you may want to consider these selling reasons in 2012.

Flood Insurance ~ Hilton Head Island, SC

Flood insurance coverage is purchased separately from homeowner’s coverage. The primary flood insurance comes from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) which is underwritten by our Federal Government and administered by FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  The maximum limits of primary flood coverage available in the Hilton Head Area is $250,000 coverage for a building and $100,000 coverage for its eligible contents(typically no more than $365 per year for maximum coverage). Flood insurance is a low cost way to secure coverage to repair or replace improved and personal property if they are damaged by flooding.

Good News Flood Insurance Extension

The U.S. Senate has passed a 60-day extension of the National Flood Insurance Program, avoiding a lapse in coverage due to expire May 31.   While this is temporary good news, the National Association of REALTORS® is firmly committed to working with Congress to pass a 5-year extension of the program.

We have a guy that likes to buy short sale homes and villas.  Properties that are upside down means you owe more than your property is worth.  This is a cash buyer.  If you need to move fast, or behind in payments, near foreclosure or bankruptcy, you may not have to hope and pray for someone to come along to solve your problem.

This guy is buying upside down homes and villas.

It will cost nothing to sit down and learn the short sale process and see if your property fits his criteria.  You have nothing to lose.  My direct line is (843)842-0805.  If your property is not currently listed, we will meet together with our buyer to see if this meets the type of property he is looking for.  Thank you.

We come across monthly or annual rentals from time to time and would like to pass these on to anyone that is looking for a long term(greater than a week) type rental.  If you are interested let us know, if you have a property and want us to add it to the list just email us Thank you.

Come out at 10:30 on Monday May 28, 2012 at Veterans Memorial Park in Shelter Cove(behind the mall), there will be a Memorial Day Observance presented by the Navy League.  In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated the last Monday in May. Today, Memorial Day is celebrated at Arlington National Cemetery, as a small American flag is placed on each grave. The president or vice-president also usually lays a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

This came across our email for any rental property owners looking for some furnishings for the coming season….

Testimonials

Robbie and Jane brought creative internet marketing, a selling strategy and positive approach to the marketing of our home that had been on the market earlier without success”.  The Brinks continued “Robbie and Jane customdesigned a presentation and a plan that we stuck to and we sold our home in 30 days (June) this year… for more than what others thought we could!  In fact, the offer came before the buyer actually saw the property in person.  Bob & Karen Brink, Charlotte, NC

Robbie Bunting and Jane Hyerswere recommended to us by our local Realtor in North Carolina.  She found Robbie and Jane through her association with “Leading Real Estate Companies of the World”.  She helped us arrange a teleconference with Robbie and Jane and after we interviewed 3 realtors we picked you all because we liked Robbie’s directness about the market, his optimism and his confidence.          Joe and Sandy Quinn, NC

Robbie not only helped us purchase a superb home on Hilton Head Island but sold a previously owned townhouse very quickly to help us have the funds to purchase with cash and make a far better deal. His guidance throughout both transactions have been very attentive and professional. We would, and already have, referred Robbie to our friends and relatives for any future home searches and purchases knowing that they would receive the same professional attention that we received.  Don & Tracie Highley, IL
