Better Homes announces that Small & Son, Inc as member of Independant Family member

Stroudsburg - Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Wilkins & Assoc is proud to announce that Small & Son, a family-owned and operated insurance company, is now a member of the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Wilkins & Assoc Independent Family of Home Buying Services.

The Independent Family of Home Buying Services is part of the Wilkins & Assoc buying services they offer to buyers when they purchase their home through Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. The Independent Family includes mortgages through Wells Fargo, title insurance through Pennsylvania First Settlement Services., utility hook-up through "Get Connected" and now home-owners insurance through Small & Son located on 6th Street in Stroudsburg.

"Adding Joe Small and Mark Overcash to our family is something that we talked about for a number of months. We've used insurance people in the past and we believe that Small & Son is a perfect fit for what we have to offer." stated Thomas R. Wilkins, CEO.

The Independent Family of Home Buying Services is unique to Better Homes and Gardens RE and has been used by them for the past 8 years.

It's proven that transactions through Better Homes and Gardens RE Wilkins & Assoc where buyers use the Independent Family close quicker and is a much more efficient manner of closing on a real estate transaction. Said Dominick Sacci, Sr VP/Gen Mgr, "Our surveys document and show that we can close a transaction in 45 days which is approximately two weeks less than a sale where we don't have (in particular) the title insurance and mortgage lending."

Craig Roberts, Pres of Pennsylvania 1st Settlement, is the person who brought Small & Son into the Wilkins organization. "When we had Agents & Brokers, Joe and I operated as a licensed insurance company which is the same model that we'll use with PA1st. I am very excited and positive that this will add a whole new dimension to the Independent Family of Home Buying Services." said Roberts.

The Independent Family of Home Buying Services is a registered name of the Wilkins organization. All offices are open 7 days a week and the buying services are available to anyone who purchases a home through Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Wilkins & Assoc.
