Weichert's Home Buyers Seminar Provides Valuable Insight into the Current Real Estate Market

2/15/2008

-- Weichert offices throughout the country to host local seminars on March 6 --

MORRIS PLAINS, N.J. – The thought of purchasing a home, particularly for first-time buyers, often brings up many questions about the real estate process. Weichert wants prospective buyers to know that “it pays to ask” these questions and it pays to attend a home buyers seminar. 

On Thursday, March 6 at 7:00 p.m., Weichert, Realtors®, along with its affiliate companies, Weichert Financial Services and Weichert Real Estate Affiliates, Inc., will host its second national home buyers seminar event in each of its more than 500 company owned and franchised offices.  The seminar, entitled “It Pays to Ask,” is designed to educate home buyers on the current real estate market and the advantages of home ownership.  

Weichert’s first nationwide seminar, held on February 9, attracted nearly 1,500 prospective buyers who came out to have their real estate-related inquiries addressed.  

“Our seminar is designed to illuminate the home buying process,” said James M. Weichert, president and founder of Weichert, Realtors.  “Whether you are an experienced buyer or looking for your first home, we want to let all prospective buyers know about the remarkable opportunities that exist in today’s housing market that can allow you to purchase the right house at the right price and with affordable financing.”  

This free, no-obligation seminar will include a brief presentation followed by a question and answer session.  At each Weichert office, the broker/manager or a veteran real estate sales associate will give a seasoned insider’s perspective on what’s happening in the local real estate market in terms of home availability, prices, and trends.   The seminar will also touch upon “the Weichert difference,” clarifying how Weichert can simplify the home-buying process and play a pivotal role at every stage.   

With mortgage financing being a key component of most home purchases, the “It Pays to Ask” Home Buyers Seminar will discuss the essentials of securing home financing and will explain why, even in a “buyer’s market,” it’s advisable to get an analysis of your “buying power.”  In many locations, a mortgage representative from Weichert Financial Services, called a Gold Services Manager, will be on hand to share valuable insights with interested buyers.  This Gold Services Manager will also explain Weichert’s personalized approach to mortgage financing and how buyers can benefit from purchasing in today’s market. 

At the conclusion, attendees will have the opportunity to schedule a financial consultation for a free mortgage credit decision.  To reserve your seat at the Home Buyers Seminar, call your local Weichert office.  

Weichert has nearly 18,000 sales associates in more than 500 company-owned and franchised sales offices in key markets throughout the U.S.  A family of full-service real estate and financial services companies, Weichert helps customers buy and sell both residential and commercial real estate, and streamlines the delivery of mortgages and home and title insurance.  For more information, Weichert's customer service center can be reached at 1-800-USA-SOLD or at Weichert's Web site, www.weichert.com.  Each Weichert franchised office is independently owned and operated.
