John March benefits Hilton Head-Bluffton, SC home buyers and home sellers by applying to real estate what he has learned as an experienced business leader, expert marketer and negotiator. Real estate clients can expect above average professionalism, service and performance guarantees. He treats each client as “the Chief Executive” of their home.

A former CEO, COO and Chief Marketing Officer of two manufacturing companies and a marketing consultant to Fortune 500 Corporations, John uses the same business sense and business approach to the practice of real estate. Sellers can expect a cohesive and integrated marketing plan that attracts the right target buyers. They can expect to be kept in the loop and up-dated on a regular basis.

Great marketing appeals to the emotions and to the intellect. This is the kind of creative marketing that John provides home sellers in order to sell homes quickly and for top dollar.  Marketing a home requires knowledge of the market, looking for uniqueness and positioning a property among competing homes to be most attractive to the right target buyers. Today, marketing a home is more than sticking a sign in a yard. The internet, social media and presenting properties where potential buyers gather is KEY.

Home-Buyers appreciate his analytical approach and well-honed negotiating skills, which insure that clients “buy right” and get the most value for their real estate dollar. A creative problem-solver, he will look for ways to create win-win solutions for buyers and sellers of Hilton Head Area Real Estate.

Distressed Property Marketing and Sales. This is an area that requires knowledge of the processes of pre-foreclosure, foreclosure avoidance strategies and negotiation of short sales. Ours is a well thought out and unique approach that includes a careful analysis of each homeowner situation, collection of data with respect to mortgages and personal financial data and then the development of a plan. The objective is to minimize financial distress and the negative impact on credit that can affect the future capability to own a home. Too, often their is a rush to judgement and too much misinformation. This leads to homeowners taking the patch.

The best approach is to have a knowledgeable guide who has the education and experience which ensures the best possible outcomes. As a Certified Distressed Property Expert, John has a network of professionals to help his clients achieve their goals. The biggest mistake is for homeowners to work alone, to list their property with an agent was is going to “do it all” and who will, in most cases, fail to achieve the best result. There is a division of labor. For the best outcome, a real estate professional must be geared up to handle all of the details, data collection, paperwork and negotiations with lenders that are all required. Negotiating with lenders and having the short sale packages submitted to their exact requirements, and then negotiating terms, takes focus and diligent followup. This is what we can provide

” I listed my Oaktie, SC home with John March at a time when the market can best be described as very rough for sellers of homes, with lots of homes to choose from, and rocky market conditions. John showed me the reasoning behind his price range recommendation and helped me price my home accordingly. Inside of two weeks, we had an offer and a contract. John was there every step of the way, and he also kept me informed as to progress on a regular basis. John is someone you can trust to do what he says he will do.”

Vincent Simpkins, Beaufort S.C.
