I have always enjoyed the 4th of July in Myrtle Beach. There are so many July 4th or Independence Day festivities to do in Myrtle Beach. There are usually parades on the water, fireworks shows all over Myrtle Beach, and so much more to do. However to me, I've always looked at this holiday as a symbol of the beginning of Summer. Time to enjoy trips to the pool, grilling out, and just having fun. So, tonight I decided to start the holiday a little early.
Since the in-laws are still in town, we threw some ribeye steaks on the grill this evening and decided to kickoff our festivities with a good cookout. Below is the final result. Let me just tell you, the meal was delicious!
So now that we have begun our holiday festivities for the 4th of July in Myrtle Beach, we will continue them tomorrow afternoon by visiting our church for a huge picnic/game night. Once again, the grills will be on overload as we make hundreds of hot dogs & hamburgers. There will also be all kinds of games being played including basketball, volleyball, and who knows what else!
Since the heat will probably be in the high 90's here in Myrtle Beach on Saturday, we will hopefully enjoy an afternoon at the pool. Now that Isabelle has turned 1 year old, she is really starting to enjoy the pool more and more. She loves being in the water. Whether she is flying around in her floating tube, or in the arms of mommy & daddy, she is really starting to turn in a big fan of the water. I am not sure if it is because she really like splashing daddy in the face, or if it is because she knows she is darn cute & always accessorizing her swimsuit.
I know what some of you are thinking... Jeremy you live in Myrtle Beach! Yes, the beach is only 10 minutes away from my home, but to be completely honest, I rarely go. Why? I hate the sand between my toes. It drives me crazy! I know, I am probably weird, but it is ok. I can live with it.
After the pool, we plan to finish Saturday with dinner out at a nice restaurant and then fireworks somewhere here in Myrtle Beach. I am not sure yet where we will go. Hopefully down to the ocean. Watching a fireworks show on a pier over the ocean is just way cooler than anywhere else. If you are here in Myrtle Beach, and know of an awesome place to go and enjoy the festivities, please feel free to share them here!
Two more things to cover. First, don't forget to take a moment and remember those that have made our ability to celebrate Independence Day possible. Without them, there would be no holiday. Lastly, while you are celebrating & enjoying the holiday, please do so safely! I don't want to hear any tragic stories on Sunday!
Happy 4th of July everyone! Make it a memorable one!
I am sure by now that most of the country has seen about the wildfire here in Myrtle Beach, SC. It started yesterday afternoon and now has consumed over 8,000 acres. I wanted to take a minute to let everyone know, that my family is all safe, the fires have moved around us. However there are several others that are Local ActiveRain Members from throughout the county that need your prayers and support. It has destroyed several homes in Barefoot Landing which is about 10 minutes north of me. As long as the winds stay calm, hopefully they will be able to get things under control. If the wind were to shift south though, the fire would be heading right towards my house.
Here are two pictures from my development.

So even if you do or do not know any of the members here, take a minute to either stop by their blogs and send them a quick email to check on them all. I will keep everyone updated of any changes.

As a
Myrtle Beach Real Estate Agent, I regularly start my morning by checking an MLS hotsheet that gives me a quick overview of what is happening in the local Myrtle Beach real estate market. I was pleasantly surprised to see the stats. It showed that our market seems to be heating up. It showed that while there were 101 new listings & 137 price changes, the number that excited me was the 213 pending listings.
This means that yesterday 213 properties were placed under a pending contract. As a real estate agent, I try to keep connected with other agents from around the US to keep up to date on the current pulse of the market.
As I have talked with several agents, they have all stated the same thing. The agents have been very busy since the beginning of the year with buyers. Also, the agents are not just busy with inquiries, but are actually busy with clients that taking action and writing offers.
Have we started to make a turn in our current real estate market? It seems our Myrtle Beach real estate market is starting to do so!
As most are aware, there is always some sort of events taking place in Myrtle Beach. Here are a few upcoming events in Myrtle Beach, SC.
Co-Founder of 210 Consulting- Social Media Advisors. A company devoted to teaching others the benefits of the various social media platforms and how to use them to enhance their business.
Before I talk about my life as a Social Media Advisor, I first want to share a little info about myself. I am originally from Reading, PA and moved to Myrtle Beach, SC in 1998 after graduating from high school. Shortly after moving to the area, I attended Coastal Carolina University where I graduated in Business Management.
While working on my degree, I obtained my Real Estate License in 2001 and teamed up with my father from 2002 to 2009 to become a top producing real estate team in Myrtle Beach, The Blanton Team. After several years of success as a real estate agent, I then joined ActiveRain as a community builder in March 2009. ActiveRain is one of the world's largest real estate networks with over 173,000 members worldwide. In December of 2009 I became the community manager of SmartHippo, a social media platform designed to help consumers make informed decisions when purchasing a home.
Over the past two years, I have traveled all around the country as a social media advisor helping thousands learn how to use social media networks to increase their business. I have spoken to entire corporations on how to integrate social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and blogs into their business and marketing strategy. I've been published on various sites including Coldwell Banker, Rubbermaid, New Home Source, and currently I'm also a guest blogger for my local newspaper.
In December of 2009, I teamed up with Jason Crouch to form 210 Consulting- Social Media Advisors. Jason & I started this company because we were ready to make a difference. Unlike many others, we actually used (and continue to use) social media in our daily business plans and have seen big-time results.
When I am not busy working, I love getting out & enjoying some of the most beautiful golf courses Myrtle Beach has to offer. I am a professional army golfer (left, right, left, right down the course.) Some of my other loves include spending time with my awesome wife and super cute daughter which I call my "built in entertainment system."
I believe the biggest difference between myself as a social media advisor and those that call themselves social media gurus or experts is this: I use the various social media networks daily for my businesses and have seen plenty of success. Instead of bragging about how many followers I have, I feel the better option would be to allow you to judge for yourself. So, please come check me out on the various social media networks. My profiles are listed below:
I have used my experience on these various networks to advise others in how to see the same successes I have achieved.
I'm glad you found Jeremy as he is one of the network's best mentors! There are others, but Jeremy is at the head of the class.- Vic Steele
