Value, Security and a $1500 Rebate

First Time Buyers Find Value and Security

Times are tough and home buyers, like all consumers are looking for ways to reduce the cost of buying and furnishing a home. Can anyone blame them? In this market buyers need to be assured that when they are spending their hard-earned dollars it makes sense to them.

This is why we believe that NOW more than ever, renters and all first time buyers in Southeastern Pennsylvania (http://www.sepennahomes.com/) will have peace of mind knowing their dollars can go even further.

Starting now, when you buy a home and have as Buyers agents Jean or John Burns of JB REALTY SERVICE (http://www.jbrealtyservice.com/) you will receive a $ 1500.00 rebate. There are NO gimmicks. The MONEY is yours to use however you wish. Buy the big screen TV, get those tires for the car or take that much needed vacation. It is your money. $1500.00 to do what you wish. The money does NOT have to be used for the home purchase, the closing cost, the mortgage fees, the inspections or anything else to do with the house. This rebate does NOT affect any money that the seller may contribute to the closing costs NOR does it affect the government $8,000 rebate for First Time Buyers.

There are many reasons to retain the services of Jean and John burns. Our experience in Real Estate sales goes back to 1988, over the last two decades we have experienced many of the markets UP's and DOWN's. As a client this will be an invaluable resource. As an added PLUS our clients will have the peace of mind knowing that our negotiating skills have been honed over these years in many different types of markets. JB REALTY SERVICE is a full service Real Estate firm our home search resources are not limited to the Philadelphia region, we also have the ability to access home information throughout the Lehigh Valley.

As the owners of JB REALTY SERVICE LLC we can make this unique offer and We want to. It is in our best interest to do so because we want to attract clients. It is in our Sellers best interest because attracting buyers helps their properties sell faster. I believe it is in the Buyers best interest because they get the benefit of the $1500.00. Our experience in working at the larger national firms taught us we could provide a more personal and detailed relationship and maintain a full service office. Since we are able to reduce the size of our office and advertising budget and pay no franchise or broker fees we are able to make this offer.

There are many reasons to commit to a relationship with a Realtor or Real Estate firm. I would strongly submit that by accident is not the right reason. I believe that most Real Estate horror stories are the result of the consumer feeling obligated to a Realtor because they spent some time answering minor Questions or possibly showing them a property. The consumer would be well advised to understand the Real Estate documents they are being asked to sign and seek the advise of an attorney if necessary as the documents can be confusing. Jean and John are committed to providing the personal small town service we all deserve along with the skills and abilities of any of the larger firms.

Our business thrives on referrals. We hope our unique and forthright approach to Real Estate will not only help You with your home purchase, but potentially a Friend, co-worker or family member also.

THE DANGER OF THE BUYERS MARKET

At JB REALTY SERVICE we are advising our clients to protect themselves from the up coming regret of fence-sitting and allowing the market to pass them by. Some Buyers are immobilized as a result of the fear of paying too much if they make a home purchase now. Their thought being that maybe if I wait the prices will go lower, maybe I can be the one to find the exact bottom of the market. This is very unlikely. Frankly this probably is the bottom for homes priced under $250,000. Another real reason for Buyers to hesitate is, with the current economy, they are worried about their financial status. Will I have a job? No one can blame a person for taking this into account. Our advice is, if you are unsure about your future employment, wait until you feel more secure.

Probably the most common regret we hear is from Sellers who wish they would have sold 2 or 3 years ago. "Wow, do I wish I would have listened". "We just thought we would have some warning". The fact is they did have warning. In most cases they did not act because it is hard to go against the trend. It is much easier to see yourself as a maverick then to be one.

Now is the safe time to be purchasing. Funny thing is it was not all that long ago that it was a clear Sellers market and the herd mentality had Buyers out in droves. They were rushing from property to property placing unreasonable offers, just to be beat out by another unreasonable offer but they felt safe in doing so, why? Because everyone else was doing it. Now, it is truly a buyers market, of this there is NO doubt. The regrets will come. Buyer after Buyer, I can hear it now "why didn't I listen". "There should have been a warning". "Why didn't somebody say something to me"? "If I would have known".

Where are the buyers? Scared. What can have them so frozen? Possibly the over excited media and their negative news and uninformed advice. Then sure, as soon as you let people know you are thinking of buying a home, they all have advice also. Of course with your best interest in mind, after all they are only trying to help. The buyer should listen and take notes. Verify what you hear, find articles, accumulate data.

Our web site http://www.jbrealtyservice.com/ is a good source for insights about Real Estate, mortgages and more. Read past blog posts that relate to the topics. Make an appointment with one of our experienced professionals and have them sort it out with you. The consultation is private and FREE.

We know this is a remarkable buyers market. Can the prices go lower ? sure. Can the prices go higher ? sure. The bargains are here now. Over time buying in a buyers market and selling in a sellers market is the best you can hope for. Buying at the absolute bottom and selling at the absolute top are nothing more than pure luck.

Quick Action is required. Shortly Buyers are going to be offered a stimulus of $8,000 to purchase a home before the end of 2009. Do you think this will result in lower prices or higher prices ? Answer this correctly and you will know what to do..call us NOW and GET pre-qualified for the right loan for you. 215-721-6300 Jean and John Burns. or e-mail john@jbrealtyservice.com
