Homeowners who have to sell in today’s market can face a number of obstacles, but Realtors® are rising to the challenge with innovative approaches that help sellers get to sold.
Securing financing can hold many home buyers back. An attractive alternative for these buyers is seller financing, which is an arrangement in which sellers may be willing to finance all or part of the purchase for that buyer. A Realtor® can help negotiate these transactions and make sure that the Seller’s interests are covered.
Realtors® are also equipped to help buyers and sellers develop lease- purchase agreements, in which sellers allow a buyer to lease the property with either an option to buy, applying a portion of the rent toward a future down payment or a fully executed purchase agreement.
Realtors® are getting creative with marketing approaches, as well. Some recent examples:
- One-time, 15-minute open houses
- Home trades
- Strategic pricing techniques
One key thing my sellers and I are pursuing as a Selling Edge right now is a concept exclusively offered through my broker Prudential Georgia Realty. It is called the HELP program or Buyer Job Loss Protection. This allows for Sellers to provide an incentive to their Buyer that covers the Buyer against involuntary unemployment for a period of twenty-four months or two full years after closing! The benefit pays out up to $1,800 per month for six months giving that Buyer, and now the happy new home owner, and opportunity to find new employment without stressing over the mortgage!
A list of homes in the Athens, Winder, and Jefferson area can be found on my website at http://www.athensgahomesforsale.com/athens-ga-homes.aspx. Look for Job Loss Protection logos or verbiage by the listing. These homes can be seen in such neighborhoods as Cedar Creek, Brittany’s Garden, and Huntington Park in Athens to Sweet Apple in Winder and Sheperds Crossing in Jefferson just to name a few!
