If you are a buyer or seller and are wondering what a short sale is and how you can benefit, shoot us an email at robbie@robbiebunting.com or call us toll free at 800-932-3652. Essentially a short sale is selling a property for less than what is owed the bank. We have worked out many short sales for our buyers and sellers and have found that although time consuming, they can be a way for a purchaser to get a great property or a seller to get their otherwise upside down property sold.

In the 25 years of selling real estate on Hilton Head Island, I have seen buyer cycles come and go. Although this cycle may appear longer or deeper than the others, it too shall pass. One thing I have found in these cycles is that the very best real estate deals are often struck when the news in the papers is really, really bad. That said, the recent NYT article “Widespread Fear Freezes Housing Market” triggers another good reason to buy real estate on Hilton Head. While it may have made every buyer and seller shudder, one agent said it perfectly when he stated “Do the opposite of what they say in the newspapers when you buy and sell real estate on Hilton Head Island and your timing will always be good”…and the local numbers support the reasons why!

Meaningful conversations are not always easy!
It is said meaningful conversations contribute to happiness. One agent explained that he has been telling good people some tough stuff lately. We all seem to dance around the tough subjects, but certainly it makes more sense to have a meaningful conversation before a selling season. These tough conversations often revolve around issues including access, condition or price with timing on the sellers side for the upcoming fall season! Read the rest of this entry
Baby boomers will make their move to Hilton Head in 2011
It is not until next year that baby boomers will begin retiring in force and this group will have major impact on areas like Hilton Head Island despite the economy. With the “oldest” turning 65 years and the “younger” ones turning 50, these boomers will start begin their pilgrimage in numbers next year. Although we are busy selling real estate on Hilton Head, this is the calm before the storm and we need to prepare ourselves for this deluge. The economy may have slowed some of this group down, but it is impossible to stop them. The key though is to be in front of them. Read the rest of this entry

While many believe summer should be the busiest selling season, it is the spring and autumn that are the strongest selling seasons of the year on Hilton Head Island. The agenda for many of the summer time visitors is to spend time with family and relax. While many research the real estate while they are on vacation, they typically return in the fall or spring to buy. With the busiest rental season we have had, this coming Autumn and Spring we will be selling up a storm!
The perfect ”buyers storm” is brewing on Hilton Head Island
This Autumn, the perfect “buyers storm” is brewing on Hilton Head Island as the lowest interest rates ever collide with the incredible values and unbelievable properties during a strong selling season. Because these variables may never align this way again, this Autumn promises to be our best ever. In fact, our recommendation to buyers is the “early bird will get the best worm.” There simply has never been a better time to become a Hilton Head property owner!
Sell before the end of the year!
We have buyers and if you are interested in selling before the end of the year, we can help you. Please send us an e-mailor call me direct at 800-932-3652. Our last seller sold their property in 30 days and this is what they had to say “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”. They continued “Robbie and Jane custom designed 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.” Please let us know if you would like us to help get your property sold this Autumn. You can email us at robbie@robbiebunting.com or call us direct at 800-932-3652. Thank you.

Do you remember the Sunday Only Island Packet?
We used to tell our friends and clients that had interest in Hilton Head Island to subscribe to the “Sunday” Island Packet because they would mail it anywhere in the country(and in other countries). Although the delivery often had a lag time, this was one of the best(and only) ways to tap into what was happening on Hilton Head Island. Although there is no longer a Sunday Only Island Packet, there are now many new ways to tap into the latest and current happenings on Hilton Head.
