Home sellers in the greater Lansing area will now have an opportunity to attract additional buyers to buy their home with peace of mind. Adding this program to the Tax Credit for first time homebuyers, the low pricing of homes, and record low interest rates, I would suggest sellers make this part of your marketing plan when selling.
Through the Coldwell Banker Business Advantage program, sellers can now offer a mortgage payment protection plan to homebuyers. This program, available from The Paycheck Guardian, features Job Loss Protection, Accidental Disability Protection, and Accidental Death Protection.
If a seller agrees to purchase the program, then they can include this program as an additional feature on their home listing. The program provides a qualified homebuyer with a monthly benefit of up to $1,500 for 6 months in the event the buyer becomes unemployed. The plan also includes a lump-sum payment for Accidental Death of $10,000.
Program benefits include:
· Peace of Mind Protection - addresses the fear of job loss
· Pays cash benefits directly to the home buyer if their income stops due to job loss or accidental disability
· Covered individual can receive up $1500 per month and a $10,000 lump sum accidental death benefit
· 4 or 6 month benefit plans available
· Differentiates sellers listing from others on the market
· No sign up fees and no premium payment until the home is sold
· Easy internet enrollment after closing
Long and Foster Real Estate Company on the East Coast has been very successful with sellers offering this program for the past 4 months. Margaret Woda, Long and Foster, Crofton Real Estate and one of my fellow Active Rain, Rainmakers, authored a great Blog post back in April on Active Rain .
Home sellers who are thinking of moving up, may have a wonderful window period here for the next six month's to sell their house and buy another one. If you woud like to know the value of your home in today's market, look at your options, or learn more about the above marketing program, feel free to contact me for an appointment.
