Broker offers home buyers insurance

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - In an effort to add comfort and peace of mind for today’s homebuyers, Real Living Realty Services is offering mortgage payment protection to buyers who purchase a home through Real Living Realty Services and utilize Real Living Mortgage between June 1 and Aug. 31, 2009. Real Living Realty Services is the first residential real estate firm in the Dayton area to offer a mortgage payment protection plan.

“In today’s uncertain economy, Real Living Realty Services is investing in programs like our Peace of Mind Plan to provide reassurance for our consumers,” said Harley E. Rouda, Jr., CEO of Real Living. “Our intention is to give home buyers added comfort, and help them achieve the American dream of homeownership.”

Buyers who go into contract between June 1, 2009 and Aug. 31, 2009 (and close prior to Sept. 30, 2009) with a Real Living Realty Services agent and finance through Real Living Mortgage will receive the Peace of Mind Plan that covers a monthly mortgage payment of up to $1,500 for up to six months if they become involuntarily unemployed during the first year after they purchase their new home.

The plan will be extended for an additional year of protection if the buyer purchases a Real Living Realty Services listing, and finances through Real Living Mortgage. “The one year extension of the Plan will be a huge benefit for our sellers,” said Mark Kottman, a Real Living Realty Services agent. “It sends a clear message to all of our listing customers that our firm is making every effort to sell their home.”

Additionally, Real Living Realty Services is offering its Peace of Mind Plan to customers who refinance their current mortgage through Real Living Mortgage. “Many who bought a home in the past few years have interest rates that significantly exceed current rates,” said Rouda. “Real Living Realty Services and our agents support a full service environment for customers and extending the Peace of Mind Plan to refinance borrowers is another way for our agents to reach out and provide value even after they’ve bought their home.”

Real Living Realty Services, part of Real Living Inc., operates 18 offices with 400 agents in the Dayton and Cincinnati/Louisville Metro markets. Real Living, with 2,200 associates and 100 offices coast to coast, offers consumers a full suite of home and lifestyle services.
