Do you have friends in real estate? Do they give you back 75% of their commission?

Our President Manuel Iraola was recently asked to comment of Homekeys' rebate policy and this is what he said.

"Most people have friends in real estate. Have you asked any of your friends in real estate if they are willing to give you back up to 75% of their commission in cash at the time of the closing?
At Homekeys, we do.
  1. Why do we do it ? Because in today's environment the consumers are doing a lot of the work traditonally performed by traditional agents.
  2. How do we do it? Technology allows us to achieve economies of scale and this means that we can be more effectiove, productive and efficient. We use technology for the benefit of our clients thus enabling them to buy/sell cheaper,faster easier and smarter.

Bottom line, our transaction costs are lower and this enables us to give you back up to 75% of our commission in cash at time of closing."

Ad Campaigns Target Buyers of Real Estate

Real estate brokerage firms are launching ad campaigns that promote low mortgage interest rates, improving affordability, and the availaibilty of home loans. "Think you can't get a home loan?" some ads state. "Well, think again. You may be pleasantly surprised."
Another frequen message states, "Now is the time to make your move. If a home purchase is in your future plans, now may very well be the time to act. There is ample inventory on the market for you to capture that 'dream' home you've always wanted at a price and terms you can handle. But don't wait too long, because another qualified buyer may capture it first."
The battle is on to kick consumers off the fence and back into spending mode. And it could be an uphill battle, with news piling on of a possible recession, Wall St. losses and layoffs, and declining home prices.
Bottom line, there is not such a thing as a right time or a bad time as long as you buy for the right reasons. See www.homekeys.net for details on the richest cash rebate to buyers of real estate in Florida ---75% of our commission.

75 % Buyer Rebate in cash at closing!

With over 2 million people licensed as real estate agents in the United States it is almost a certainty that you have a realtor friend that can help you buy and sell. Are your friends willing to give you back 75% of their commission in cash at the time of closing?
At www.homekeys.net, we do.

Lease Option may be the way for many home buyers

Often the biggest obstacle to becoming a homeowner is coming up with enough cash for a down payment. One way for cash-strapped home buyers to realize their dream is to lease a home with an option to buy.
Here's how a lease option works. The buyer (called an optionee) leases the property from the seller (called an optionor) for a period of time. The lease contract gives the optionee the right to buy the property at the end of the lease period, or earlier by mutual agreement, at a price agreed upon in the contract.
The optionee pays a sum, called option money, to the seller at the onset of the lease. This money is applied to the purchase price if the option is exercised. The option money is forfeited to the seller if the optionee doesn't go through with the purchase.
Like any contract, the terms of a lease option are negotiable: the length of the lease, the amount of the option money, the purchase price and the rent. Sometimes, a seller will agree to credit a portion of the rent toward the purchase, providing an additional incentive for the buyer to go through with the purchase.
Even though the amount of the option money is negotiable, it's usually less than the down payment amount required to purchase an equivalent property. So, for relatively little upfront cash, a lease option allows the buyer to tie up a property at today's prices, and live in it before deciding to buy it. During the lease period, the seller cannot sell the property to another buyer.
And remember, http://www.homekeys.net/ buyers receive a cash rebate of up to 75% of our commission at closing. This can be the difference. Visit http://www.homekeys.net/ for details.
