Now’s the Time!  Herb Real Estate Emphasizes Great Values in Real Estate, Offers a Tradition of Excellence in Service

In any recovery, early signs of improvement often go unnoticed except to those whose long-time experience and knowledge provide an enhanced vision of budding growth and potential.

And so it is in today’s real estate market, according to Greg Herb, owner of Greg Herb Real Estate.  “Now is the time,” notes Herb.  “The market has adjusted itself from its peaks in 2006 and 2007 and has provided unprecedented values in real estate.”

“The affordability index is a key indicator.  Interest rates are low; the costs of home ownership compare favorably to renting, and the affordable financing programs available to those with good credit and job stability offer buyers an opportunity to purchase a home with little money down.  It’s a great time to sit down with a qualified mortgage lender to explore the options of entering the real estate market.  In 6-12 months from now, the opportunity may have passed.”

Herb Real Estate, an independent real estate agency with offices in Pottstown and Boyertown, brings a comprehensive marketing program including a robust internet presence reaching over 500 websites; its own website featuring enriched video walkthroughs and photograph albums to provide buyers 25 views of any available property; a vigorous Facebook campaign; local cable TV outreach; frequent buyers’ seminars; along with exposure in real estate books and local newspapers.

Herb’s own experience in real estate began in high school under the shadowing program of the late Jack McCloskey.  He began his career in 1978, establishing his own agency in 1992.  He has served at many levels in state and national associations.

Yet, according to Herb, what is irreplaceable is the “personal touch” the company’s 15 agents can provide.  “It’s about perception, about establishing trust,” Herb explained.  “Choosing the agency and the agent you trust to do the best job of marketing your property on, say, North Reading Avenue in Boyertown is what we can provide over a national franchise.”

“Our agents are local; they know and live in the area; they have the pulse of the community.  We have the experience and knowledge, and we have established a reputation in the industry by what we’ve given in time and effort that is unmatched.  A ‘Tradition of Excellence’ is our motto; we protect our name and our reputation vigorously.  Over 80% of the agency’s clients are repeat and referral customers.”

Herb continued, “Most important to us is establishing relationships; we strive to be the entrusted partner and source of knowledge and experience in the complex business of buying or selling a home.  People want to know, ‘What are you going to sell my home for and how much are you going to charge me?’  Above all, we want them to have faith in the agent at the negotiation table; we want them to know we’re working on their behalf towards a successful sale.”
