What every Hilton Head Buyer Should do…

1. Call Your Realtor or contact us and let us set you up on a FREE MLS Link.  This link will email automatically new listings and price adjustments in real time as they hit the market.  The best properties do not stay on the market long.
2. Call a lender and get pre-approved or get a proof of funds from your bank so you will be ready to go when you see the perfect property.  Pre-approvals and Cash talks and beat offers that have financing contingencies
3. Ask your realtor to send you a sample-contract so you can be familiar with the addendums and the contract.  Ask them to include a property inspection addendum, a HUD estimate, a buyer-agency and a sample-disclosure.

When a property POPS, Call your Hilton Head REALTOR

Call YOUR realtor if you see a great property on your MLS LINK(here is a copy of my MLS Link for short sale homes).  Do not email them, do not wait for tomorrow.  If it is a great property that has captured your attention, chances are it will capture other buyers attention too.  Jane and I will go see it, get you the information and give you an opinion of the property.

The first six months in our new location have been nothing but awesome.  The support has been off the charts.  We have had new clients find us and existing clients pop in to check out the new digs and to wish us success.  That said, production was up 40%  for the first 6 months and we are growing and expanding and see great growth ahead for Hilton Head Properties.

Reading the National Assoication of Realtors(NAR) Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers 2012 all we got to say is right on!  In the last year, this report states that over 90% of all buyers went to the web and 42% found the actual property they wound up purchasing in 2o12.  We have seen this in the Hilton Head Market, as buyers walk in with a few property printouts and ask us to show them these properties.  Other trends are listed below… Read the rest of this entry
