Jim Willis knows Virginia Beach Area Real Estate

The 2009 Virginia Beach Area Real Estate bottoming out!?

If your waiting for the real estate residential market to bottom out, I believe the time is near. When we reach the bottom, a lot changes in the ride up from the bottom--price of Homes increase; interest rates go up, and inventory of Homes goes down. Anyone in the market to buy a Home "cheap", don't wait too long or it could pass you by. Listen up 1st time Home Buyers and relocating Retirees! Buy low now!

As you know, currently, prices of Homes are low, interest rates are below 5% and a large inventory of Homes are available in all price ranges. Additionally, if you know of anyone that is a first time Home Buyer or hasn't owned a Home for 3 years, then an $8,000 Federal Tax Credit is available from the Government, with no payback requirements.

In many parts of the country, a Home Buyer has the availablity of a Mortgage Payment Protection Plan that will protect the primary bread winner if he/she were to lose their job within 2 years after they close on a newly purchased Home. This plan will pay your House Payment for 6 months, up to $1,800 per month. There is a one time insurance fee usually between $500-$600

Real Estate in Virginia Beach and elsewhere and good Realtors here and elsewhere...!!

It bothers me when I read or hear something negative about Realtors. I am proud to be a Realtor in the Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, Portsmouth and All Surrounding Areas of Virginia and find it deeply rewarding.

As in any profession, their are a few "bad apples" that tend to tarnish the reputation, to some degree, of all. My experience with other Realtors in the Virginia Beach and surrounding areas of Va have been almost universally positive. When you treat someone with professional respect they tend to reciprocate.

The rare exception can be handled with a closer scrutiny of that individual, and letting him/her know that you know what's going on and that you are on top of the situation. When the rare occurance happens that involves inexperience or lack of knowledge, look at it as an opportunity to convey your knowledge in a pleasant and professional way.

Frustrations abound in the Real Estate profession, as it does in any profession---all in all, it's all good!

Virginia Beach and Surrounding Areas of Va Information; Real Estate and Much More...!!

Hi, I'm Jim Willis, Realtor with Rose and Womble Realty and a resident of this community since '73. I belong to the Hampton Roads Realtor Association (HRRA), the local real estate organization; the Virginia Association of Realtors (VAR), the National Association of Realtors (NAR), as well as the Hampton Roads Association of Realtors Relocation Council.

(Note: As an added benefit, because of my affiliation and involvement with a large number of real estate organizations we can provide top relocation service anywhere in the United States with top Accredited Buyer Representatives.)

We proudly provide Residential Real Estate service to Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Portsmouth and all Surrounding Areas of Virginia. This beautiful area is sometimes called Hampton Roads and the Peninsula Area and collectively the Tidewater area.

The military is a significant and welcome part of the South Hampton Roads community, and many of our real estate home buyers are military personnel; whether they are Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Army. We frequently visit the Welcome Centers at all area base locations (Naval Air Station, Norfolk Naval Base, Amphibious Base, Oceana, and Dam Neck) to make our real estate services available to all military personnel that might be in the market for a home.

I am happy to provide friendly, caring, and professional services to all; whether you are first time home buyers, or seasoned veterans of the home buying process. (Note: We schedule our time to coincide with house hunting trips of personnel moving into the Virginia Beach / Norfolk, and surrounding areas.)

The Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and all surrounding areas in Va have a lot to offer during the non-working hours. The area has cultural benefits such as Chrysler Museum, Chrysler Hall, Local and Regional Theatre, as well as National Touring Broadway shows. Our colleges and Universities; Old Dominion University (ODU), Norfolk State University (NSU), Virginia Wesleyan College, and extensions of other major state Universities, and our Tidewater Community College (TCC) campuses throughout the South Hampton Roads area are available. Plus we have great Shopping locations thruout the area!

There are a wealth of restaurants in the area, in all price ranges and all types of cuisines- and, as you might imagine -- wonderful Seafood. Sports include our AAA Norfolk Tides Baseball Team, the Hampton Roads Admirals Hockey Team, as well as extensive sporting activities in our recreational, little league, midget, high school and college sports teams.

And, of course, the Beach, where tourists share with us the joys of the area during summer seasons. In off seasons we have the beach more to ourselves... Great Fun! Many Historic attractions are available in the area as well as easy driving distance outside the immediate area.

The Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, Portsmouth and all surrounding areas of Va provides a great Quality of Life with lots to do and friendly, diverse people to be around!! Come visit; maybe look at Vacation and/or Second Homes available!
