Senior's Spotlight
As a SRES Specialist, I have received extensive education on topics such as tax laws, probate, estate planning, equity conversion strategies, and can offer you relevant information on current market trends as well as valuable resources regarding Real Estate transactions.
I send letters to possible sellers 50+. If you want to be in my mailing list, I would love to have add you. I am a resource if you want to sell your home.
I can provide you with a customized approach to your real estate needs. I have both the knowledge and real estate experience to serve as your trusted adviser through the unique financial and lifestyle transitions involved in relocating and selling your family home.
Here are some of the past letters I have sent out.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and offer my services to those of you to whom this letter hits home. I have always specialized in the east and Northeast areas of Pensacola that are a part of my heritage and life. I became a Senior Real Estate specialist by necessity. My parents and my friends parents seemed to continually be facing the same scenarios that come with their stage in life. As a result I have been involved in over fifty sales involving seniors. Last year I sold eight homes involving seniors in your neighborhoods alone.
Is it time to sell your home?
Are you thinking of selling your home to move to a senior supportive Environment? Or perhaps to move in with an adult son or daughter who can help with your needs as you grow older? You may be considering leaving the family home with all that it represents—the place where children were raised; the safety and security of a family unit; the physical space where your oldest and dearest memories reside.
For seniors, it can signify the best years of their lives, where friends and community ties were made.
Many seniors would prefer to continue living in their own home in their sunset years.
Sometimes, circumstances work against those preferences:
• Home maintenance becomes a burden.
• A major life event forces considering a move.
• An aging parent wants to live closer to adult children or other caretakers.
• Financial concerns make it difficult to keep the home.
• Support services are needed that are not available at home.
Whatever the reason, there may come a time when parents, along with their adult children, consider selling and moving on.I have the knowledge, expertise and sensitivity to counsel you through the major financial and lifestyle transitions. This is the time of year to address these concerns. Please call me for a private consultation at 850-501-0771.
Respectfully
Bill Chavis
Senior Real Estate Specialist
Your home has served you well for over thirty years and as your Senior Real Estate Specialist I want you to consider your options. As we enter 2016 home values on average are the highest they have been in nine years. The interest rate continues to be low at about 4.5% despite constant promises by the FED to raise them. For many their home is their greatest asset. If you are at the stage of life to consider downsizing, relocating to family or an assisted living facility there is no better time than NOW. It was very difficult to sell homes during the recession and values were way down. We have finally turned the corner. The problem with values rising fast is that it reduces potential buyer’s affordability. When interest rates go up that also affects how much home buyers get because payments go up. If you’re getting this letter you have lived in your home for over thirty years and you live in a good location. I have been a Senior Real Estate specialist for over five years, have sold homes for numerous seniors and have personally dealt with these issues with both of my parents. If you believe this would be an opportune time for you to make a change and if you would like my assistance please call me at 501-0771 or email me at Bill@easthillbill.com.
Respectfully,
William O Chavis III
Testimonials
"
Thank you for helping us sell our home in Pace, FL then helping us purchase a new home in East Hill, FL. We are very pleased and happy with the process and our new home. You were our advocate the whole way.
We appreciate your patience with answering all our questions as well as for setting up the inspections, survey, and insurance contacts. It was very helpful. You were always available to show us a house and to guide us with specific information about the house or the East Hill Neighborhood. Most of all, you helped us work with the lender to bring the deal to a close so we could move into our new home without further delays. Everyone should have an advocate like you to get them through the process and to look out for their best interests.
Thank you again for your support of our new life adventure! We already love living in East Hill. Happy Homeowners!

Bill Chavis is an excellent real estate expert and I am so pleased with the way he helped me out with the sale of my family's home. He is truly a senior specialist and knows the housing market like few people do---anywhere. I live in Dallas/Ft. Worth area and am fortunate to have had Bill represent me in the Pensacola area.
Having had the house in our family for 51 years, I was faced with the duty of selling the home after placing my 96 year old mom in a new home with an assisted living facility. Bill was able to consult with me on the details I faced in preparing the house along with working as a tremendous communicator between my brother and myself in the settling of our affairs.
Bill's patience, focus, knowledge, contacts, expertise and people skills allowed us to find a buyer shortly after the house went on the market. I have known Bill for a long time as we went to school together and I have always known him as an upstanding member of the Pensacola community. I am extremely proud to write a letter of recommendation and endorsement for Bill Chavis. He will go the extra mile to help his buyers and sellers out!
Thank you Bill for your excellent service!

We cannot thank you enough for helping us sell our home. From day one to closing you went over and above what is expected of a realtor. Your dedication to your clients is outstanding- you constantly kept us informed as to what was going on and answered our calls or returned them promptly. It was a rough road at times. We did not realize selling our home could be so stressful. You tried to make it as stress free as you could. We really appreciate all the hard work you put into this process from beginning to end. This is just a personal thank you note to you. We will be writing a letter of appreciation to you also. We will recommend you to anyone we know that is thinking about selling their home. Thanks again!
After 41 years of living in the same home, we decided to downsize. This was a very stressful decision. We did not know where to start or what to expect. We contacted Bill Chavis, a realtor with Re/Max Horizons Realty, to help get us started. From the first phone call to him to get started until the final selling and closing of our home he went over and above what we expected of a realtor. His dedication to his clients is outstanding. He aims to put his clients at ease and tries to make selling and/or buying a home as stress free as possible. He met with us and explained every detail as to what to expect and what would be involved in selling our home. He never pressured us. He always kept us informed as to what was transpiring. He always answered our calls if we had a question or returned them promptly. Our home sold in three weeks of him listing it. If you want an experienced realtor you can trust and depend on for honesty and integrity and gives you more than 100%, that person is Bill Chavis. We highly recommend Bill and definitely would call him again if we should decide to sell and/or buy another home in the future.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you have done for me and my family. Even though you were the Seller's rep, you could see we were being wrongfully handled. You truly are a stand up guy and it makes me realize that there really are good people still in this world. Your honesty makes my serving worth every minute away from my family. Thank you again, Very Respectfully, William Bessemer

We've probably bought/sold with Bill a half dozen times now, and I can't imagine going with anyone else. He's honest, upfront and a pleasure to deal with. He's gone above and beyond for us, especially on this latest acquisition! I recommend him to everyone I know who's in the market to buy or sell.

Furthermore he responded quickly and knowledgeably to all my queries, calls and texts and expertly guided me through every transaction. His knowledge of this geographical area is unparalleled. I would not hesitate to recommend Bill to anyone choosing to do real estate transactions in this area. He is the best!
