This is the last weekend for the Spartanburg Home Builders 2009. The homes are beautiful, and most of them are furnished by local designers, which is also fun to see the latest trends in decorating.

So don't miss out on this tour, get out and see and get the 'new home bug'.

In the Real Estate business, you have to know your market, and to know your market you have got to know your numbers. When you go on a listing appointment you must know average days on the market, you also must know the price the home should be listed at, if you are with a buyer client, you also need to know your numbers. It's just depends on who you are working for.

Our third annual parking lot sale will be held on Saturday June 13th in the parking lot of Keller Williams Spartanburg, South Carolina with all of the proceeds going to Glenn Springs Boys Home, which is the Spartanburg Boys Home. If you have items to donate please call or come by our office on Blackstock Road in Spartanburg. It will all go to a good cause as these boys are in need of clothes, games, and bedding.

A good first inpression can make a big differance in the sale of a house. Homeowners who spend a couple of hundred dollars on cleaning and de-cluttering could yield many times that amount when the home sells. Staging the home, landscaping front and backyards, repairing electrical and plumbing problems can also give you bang for your buck. Updating Kitchen and bathrooms will give you the best return on the dollar spent.

The news this evening is more rain and thunderstorms for tonight in the upstate of South Carolina. We have several areas in the upstate that are having flooding and some people are even having to leave their homes. We have so much to be thankful for, a dry, warm place to sleep tonight. We need the rain, but please not all at one time.
