Hilton Head Real Estate

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.  We have included Hilton Head social networks and online media for you below.  Read the rest of this entry

Record Low Mortgage Loan Rates
Mortgage loan interest rates are one of the key drivers in the real estate industry. In today’s economy, Freddie Mac is reporting 30-year fixed rates at historic lows over the last few weeks.

What does this mean to you?

1. If you’re thinking about selling, now is a great time because buyers will be able to afford more home at a lower monthly payment.
2. If you want to sell and move up, a low interest rate will help you get more home for the monthly payment you pay. 
3. If you want to stay in your home, now is a great time to refinance your existing mortgage loan.

Call me or e-mail me if you’d like more information. I am happy to answer any questions you might have. Contact me now. When it comes to mortgage loan interest rates, timing is everything.  You can email me at robbie@robbiebunting.com , or call us at 800-932-3652 ASAP.  These rates offer the bottom of the market for every reason including rate, selection and price.

A note from David Crowell at Mortgage Network

Mortgage Network is a good barometer of what is actually happening in local markets. We see more borrowers ( both for purchase and for refinance) than any of the Banks. Here is what we are seeing: Read the rest of this entry

Value is different than price

My real estate coach taught me the best lesson I have ever had in value the other day.  He told me to take my self out of my Hilton Head real estate business and imagine myself working in a pizza parlor.  He told me that I would be selling pizzas for him.  My job was to promote and market the pizzas for sale.  He told me my advertising budget was unlimited.  My compensation was based entirely on performance.

Make a good first Impression on Hilton Head

One of the reasons a property does not sell is directly linked to its condition.  A credit or an allowance by a seller for repair simply does not cut it in this market offering choice.  Buyers no longer will even make and offer to buy a property that is in need of repair or updating, they simply move on to the next property for sale.
