Staying Strong

We wanted to give you some real numbers from the last 30 days. We didn’t want to just tell you that the real estate market is strong, we wanted to actually show you some real facts & figures. We felt a small hiccup at the beginning of March when there were still so many unknowns but our real estate market is recalculating and moving full steam ahead. The wheels might have initially come off but they are back on tight as we move into summer. We have made many adjustments these past 60 days by way of virtual tours, video conferencing and FaceTime showings, but both Purchasers and Sellers have adjusted to the new norm quickly and are creatively making buying & selling successful coupled with innovative Realtors. Many positives have come out of this…

Real estate will boom once coronavirus threat is gone -- Go ahead, put your house on the market

The stigma that has been historically associated with a home's "days on market," as it relates to home sales is soon to be a thing of the past.

The real estate market is definitely not operating in a traditional manner during the coronavirus pandemic but real estate professionals have been working behind the scenes to ensure that the industry remains a safe haven amidst an upside-down world.

There are still an incredibly large amount of unknowns out there but we are doing our best to operate after the shocking developments that came in March.

For people who have been considering selling, it might not be necessary to wait. One benefit of Americans being home all day is that they are online all day long. ALL DAY.

It’s Tempting, but Don’t Do It: The Perils of Moving in Prior to Closing

It is not a given that every sale will close on the contracted closing date. With this in mind, it is important to have contingency plans to cover any delays that will hinder moving plans for both buyer and seller. The buyer who wants to move in prior to a delayed closing and the seller who accommodates such a request may find themselves in a predicament if things don’t go according to plan. Keep in mind that even if there is a written agreement to allow an early move-in, a legal dispute can still evolve from the unforeseen.

Early occupancy by a buyer means that the seller will have to maintain insurance on the property until closing, but there will be a potentially costly change to that policy. The new coverage would be landlord…

Golden Advice to Seller's

Pork bellies, oil, corn and soybeans are all commodities just like the real estate market. The market fluctuates and is controlled by supply and demand, as well as weather and the financial state of the world among many other issues. The difference with real estate is that there is also heightened emotions surrounding each transaction. Shame, guilt, anxiety, anger, frustration and pride are just some of the feelings connected to a real estate transaction. People seem to attach personalities to homes and give them much more weight than is necessary. 

When a Purchaser doesn’t like your home or a Real Estate Agent gives an opinion, many owners take this very personally. I like to say — That is gold people! Take the advice and apply anything that…

Charter One Did It Again

The Cobb Group & Charter One have some very exciting news to share! Charter One Realty reached a milestone that is rarely seen in this market. We closed over $1,000,000,000 (ONE BILLION DOLLARS) in real estate! To put that in perspective, that’s more than three times our closest competitor who has just as many (if not more) agents. Our Bluffton, Promenade office alone has 11 individuals/teams responsible for $5M to $20M in 2019 Closings (and we still have half a month to go). The Cobb Group is one of these dynamic teams!!! A huge congratulations to all Charter One Realtors. We are so grateful to be part of this outstanding company!
