Guaranteed Home Sale Program
In todays real estate market home sellers feel like they have few options when they sell a home. They are afraid to write a contract on another home when they still have a home to sell first. If they do write a contract it could be at a higher price since they can't give the home seller a guarantee that their house will sell. However, if the buyers know they have there house sold they can negotiate a lower price with the seller and give the seller a closing date. The Pilgrim Team at Professional Realty Associates can take the fear away of selling your home with our "Guaranteed Sale Program". We make it simple and in writing what we are willing to pay for your house and when we will buy it. Now you can shop for the home of your dreams and not have to worry about if your house sells. Our team of professionals are here to help you in all your ral estate needs and make it an enjoyable experience. Call us today for more details (717) 757-5955.

You Need Time and Patience to Buy a Foreclosure or a Short Sale!
by Jerry
Are you thinking about buying a distressed property? If you are, you will need TIME - a short sale or an REO (Bank Owned property) will both take longer than the typical sale. There are certainly benefits to buying a foreclosure or short sale, that being a lower price. However since we have a Lender involved in the final acceptance of the buyers offe to the seller it could take 60 - 90 days for the negotiator for the lender to make the decision. The decision isn't always that they will accept the offer. As a buyer you must be prepared to counter-offer what the negotiator has proposed. This could take another 2 weeks or so for the final decision. If you don't have the time or patience to wait this is not for you. However, if you do you could make yourself a considerable savings.
