Now is the time to buy real estate on Hilton Head Island! 

We are in a buying cycle.  These cycles come up once every ten years.    These cycles occur when the market offers price, selection and financing all at the same time.  These cycles come up when nGiven the Island’s natural beauty, the sub tropical temperatures, the world class amenities, the great shopping, and the wonderful dining we will soon see this opportunity disappear.  Just as it has done in the past.  .

Many of my clients are still celebrating their decision to get involved during these buying cycles.   These buying windows on the Island occurred in the mid 1980s after tax reform and Black Monday, in the early 1990s after the recession and even the 2000’s after 9 1 1.  Quite simply there are better times to buy real estate than others on Hilton Head Island.

Here are a few ways my clients have taken advantage of this buying cycle:

• A Palmetto Dunes Villa owner (they purchased their villa years ago from me) just sold their villa(in less than 2 months) and found a incredible house in Hilton Head Plantation.  A few years back they would have spent more money to make this move and quite frankly may not have been able to find such a great home!  They spent an additional $150,000 to make this move to a bigger and better property!
• Another client purchased a home close to the beach at an incredible price in Port Royal.  This home offers a walk to beach location, a fantastic view and at a price that is a deal!
• We had two properties sell recently to money managers.  Who knows better about timing than these guys and gals.  

Please note that this window of opportunity in the past occurred only once every decade. If you would like to take advantage of the opportunities that this BUYING CYCLE offers, simply click on my “listing” link below and check out some of the UNBELIEVABLE  OPPORTUNITIES offered right now.  If you would like for me go shopping for you and find a deal, simply click on the Shopping List, fill it out and fax it back.  We will then send you via e-mail the best of the best too!  

All the Best!

Attention:  If you or anyone you else you know is a “cash” buyer waiting for the right property or the right timing, please contact me ASAP!  

I had two cash buyers call me yesterday looking to buy premier locations at below market values.  Both of these buyers know that the key to getting a good buy is to have patient money and to buy at the right time.  

I started selling real estate on Hilton Head during the 1986 tax reform and I must tell you some of the the best deals were made when the inventory levels were high and the consumer confidence was low.  In order to find one of those deals and more importantly to be able to react to it, you had to be either be lucky, a real estate agent or spend literally hours on the phone searching.  The nice thing about todays technology is, as I research and find truly outstanding properties that offer compelling prices and incredible locations I can simply hit a button and e-mail them to you.  The key to this being successful is to know what to look for and only select the very best values.     

If you, friends or family subscribe to my Best Sellers Club you will be e-mailed these properties as they pop up in the market.  Keep in mind they are popping up sporadically and irregularly.  Therefore you will not receive an e-mail until a real value is found!  The e-mails will include villas, homes and lots.  You may choose to use this as research or to react on it, either way you will be in the KNOW. 

My criteria for this list will be properties that are at minimum 25% or less under market value.  The location  and/or condition must be good or better in order to make them compelling enough to buy!  (Properties will include MLS properties, partnerships and trades.)

If you would be interested in being a part of my Best Sellers Club  please let me know as soon as possible.  My e-mail is robbie@robbiebunting.com my cell phone number is (843)338-4854.  As always, I appreciate the opportunity and trust to earn your business.  Please feel free to hit “forward” and send this to friends and family that are looking for a great value too!  Thanks again.

Happy Hilton Head 🙂

P.S.  If you would like to participate in the Best Sellers Club but would need financing, I have met with some local lenders that are enthusiastic about this club and would be happy to pre-qualify you so you can take part in this club and react quickly.   We are also seeing some creative financing including land contracts and seller financing on some of our special values.  

Thank you for your trust and business in 2008!  We are excited about this New Year and all of the opportunity it offers! 

As we head into 2009, we would appreciate you mentioning us to your friends, neighbors and family.  These referrals help our community grow.  Please let us know when you mention us as sometimes we cannot give thanks where thanks is due!  We are grateful for these referrals and will return this favor when you buy or sell with us(or let us know how we can help).

As many have asked, below is a recent list of foreclosures and short sales in the area.  In this foreclosure list are some great properties at some very compelling prices.  Our biggest concern is we miss all these good buys after “bottom” passes by because bottom will only be seen in hinsight.  It is fact that bottom can be negotiated easier now, than later.  All bets are off when bottom is in the rear view mirror.  Also be sure to click on the link in the left corner of this blog titled”listings” as we have positioned our exceptional properties with incredible location and condition to be a value in this market.  Price is what you pay, value is what you recieve. 

As we head into this great New Year our continued goal is to help our clients succeed, provide exceptional service and create raving fans.  Let us know how we can serve you!

Expect the best,
