Press Release - Yvonne Beal Achieves Short Sale and Foreclosure Certification

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:28:15 -0600

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Yvonne Beal Earns NAR Short Sales and Foreclosure Certification

Buyers and Sellers Benefit from REALTOR^® Expertise in Distressed Sales

Chapel Hill, NC - Yvonne Beal with East Bridge Realty has earned the nationally recognized Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource certification. The National Association of REALTORS^® offers the SFR certification to REALTORS^® who want to help both buyers and sellers navigate these complicated transactions, as demand for professional expertise with distressed sales grows.

According to a recent NAR survey, nearly one-third of all existing homes sold recently were either short sales or foreclosures. For many real estate professionals, short sales and foreclosures are the new "traditional" transaction. REALTORS^® who have earned the SFR certification know how to help sellers maneuver the complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short sale and foreclosure opportunities.

"As leading advocates for homeownership, REALTORS^® believe that any family that loses its home to foreclosure is one family too many, but unfortunately, there are situations in which people just cannot afford to keep their homes, and a foreclosure or a short sale results," said 2009 NAR President Charles McMillan, a broker with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Dallas-Fort Worth. "Foreclosures and short sales can offer opportunities for home buyers and benefit the larger community, as well, but it's extremely important to have the help of a real estate professional like a REALTOR^® who has earned the SFR certification for these kinds of purchases."

The certification program includes training on how to qualify sellers for short sales, negotiate with lenders, protect buyers, and limit risk, and provides resources to help REALTORS^® stay current on national and state-specific information as the market for these distressed properties evolves.

Green Homes - The Basics

Fri, 05 Dec 2008 14:47:59 -0600

Green Homes are gaining in popularity as more people become committed to maintaining the environment and the world we live in. But besides just being a popular buzz-word, what does "Green" mean when it comes to housing?

Homes can be built Green, or they can be renovated to become Green. There are many ways to make a difference - the challenge is to keep up to date on the technology, the breakthroughs and the inovations in home building to realize the benefits that come with Green Building.

Break It Down - in the most simplest of terms, a Green Home use less energy, water, natural resources and is considered healthier for the family living there than your average home.

Benefits of a Green Home - There are many benefits to be realized by living in a Green Home. One of the biggest benefits of using less energy translates to lower utility bills for the homeowner. LEED (The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) has developed the HERS ranking system for Green Homes. HERS, or Home Energy Rating System, ranks LEED certified homes and estimates these homes have a 30 - 60% energy savings over non-LEED-certified homes - a BIG reason to go GREEN!

It is expected by the year 2010, over 10% of all new construction will be Green built. National and custom builders are making a concentrated effort to incorporate Green features into their homes - and buyers are loving it. While not every homeowner wants or needs a top-to-bottom fully certified Green home, many are requesting more common features such as energy star certified appliances, tankless hot water heaters and HE HVAC systems. Why not? Small changes can make a big difference in energy bills and even in peace of mind, knowing you are making an effort to protect the environment!

About Chapel Ridge - Chatham County's Premier Golf Course Community - from the Community Expert, Yvonne Beal

Sat, 23 Aug 2008 12:02:11 -0500

Nestled in the heart of North Carolina and on the outskirts of the historic town of Pittsboro is the premier golf course community of Chapel Ridge. Chapel Ridge is a unique community of custom homes beautifully situated on 1/2 acre - 3 acre sites and thoughtfully placed around the award-winning, Fred Couples' designed, golf course.

Convenient to Chapel Hill, Apex, RDU and both UNC and Duke - Chapel Ridge is an exceptional master-planned golf community developed on over 1,000-acres of rolling countryside. As the on-site experts, Chapel Ridge Realty, works with clients to find the perfect homesite or home in this community where natural surroundings and stunning views prevail.

Enjoy resort-style amenities in a relaxing country atmosphere. In addition to the Fred Couples Signature Golf Course, Chapel Ridge also features a Property Owner's clubhouse, swim and tennis center, sports courts, fitness center, and athletic fields - all a part of a master plan designed to embrace time-honored family traditions. You can dive into the pool at the swimming and fitness center, relax and take in the peaceful surroundings, or enjoy a round of golf. And just minutes away is 14,000 acres of aquatic excitement at stunning Jordan Lake, where boating, fishing and skiing abound. Whatever your passions, you'll discover there's something for everyone at Chapel Ridge.

With two distinct sections of the community - there is something for everyone. Chapel Ridge 'proper' consists of homesites that average 1/2 acre in size. While the Chapel Ridge 'Estates' section features larger homesites of 1-3+ acres, rolling terrain and vista views. A total of 788 custom homesites on approximately 1,000 acres of beautiful countryside. One of the truly unique features of Chapel Ridge is that there is no timeframe to build, you may choose one of our stunning homesites today and build tomorrow or 10 years from now. You are also able to bring your own builder or select from one of the many experienced builders who have built homes here already. This gives the client the ultimate in flexibility!

Homes in Chapel Ridge range from 2,000 - 5,000 square feet, with the average home size approximately 3,400 square feet of custom living space. Custom homes are unique to the individual and provide a stunning streetscape for this community as no two homes are exactly alike!

If you would like more information on this beautiful community, contact Yvonne Beal, on-site representative for Chapel Ridge and the Chatham County Home and Land Expert! For updated property information or to learn more - visit www.DiscoverChapelRidge.com today!
