Howard Hanna Buy Before You Sell Program

Howard Hanna Offers Innovative Home Buying Program

June 18, 2013 – Howard Hanna offers an innovative solution for a buyer segment that is out in full force this year, the move-up buyer who is looking for a bigger home, a newer home, or a home in a better school district.  These buyers took themselves out of the real estate market and moving, from 2008 to the later part of 2012, because they were afraid of the economy and unemployment, and many people had lost equity in their homes and investment income through their 401k or other retirement funds. 

Howard W.  “Hoddy” Hanna, III, CEO of the nation’s 4th largest real estate company, told his company in a weekly video address, “In the 5 states where we are active, PA, OH, MI, NY & WV, buyers with the desire to move up in their housing, or empty nesters deciding to structure down into something more convenient for their lifestyle today, are coming into the marketplace in rapid fire.”  He added that while he’s been selling real estate for more than six decades he has never seen an opportunity where it’s been a better time not only to sell a home but also buy one.  Howard Hanna has seen the highest activity in the real estate marketplace in the company’s history during the spring of 2013.

“At Howard Hanna, we try to be innovative in how we sell real estate, so we are offering an exclusive Buy Before You Sell program in which a buyer can use the equity in his or her present home to buy a new home.  If a buyer finds a house he likes and wants to buy it today, but doesn’t have his house on the market or it hasn’t sold yet, Howard Hanna Mortgage will advance 70% of his current home’s appraised value*.  This program not only lets people act right away when they find the house of their dreams, it also makes them a more attractive buyer as they don’t have to wait until their home sells in order to buy.  It also gives this buyer segment time to sell his home as interest-only payments do not begin for 90 days.  This is a great mortgage program to put more people into homes and allow them to forget about the age-old dilemma of do I sell before I buy,” said Hanna.  “We, at Howard Hanna, try to be innovators in real estate; to make it easier, simpler and less expensive for people buy and sell homes with Howard Hanna.  We have the best Realtors, top managers and the most efficient mortgage company.”

As the real estate market momentum continues, Hanna added that the continuation of the lowest interest rates in the history of American real estate, as well as escalating home prices that his company is seeing in virtually every community, neighborhood and city where Howard Hanna sells real estate are driving forces of the record breaking numbers.  Low interest rates, which are hovering in the 4% range, create a great opportunity for affordability and that is the trigger for most buyers, whether they are first-time or move-up buyers.
