Will you approve a $350,000 bond referendum for the city of Tega Cay to spend more money? Your opinion does not matter. You don’t get to vote.
Tega Cay City council passed 4 to 1 last Monday the first reading of a motion to issue a $350,000 bond package to pay for golf course and community center improvements. The money is also for the creation of a city storm water utility department.

I had to laugh when I read a Fort Mill Times editorial this week about Wal-Mart building a wall of stores around our community. I posted Sunday the news about a new Wal-Mart planned for Highway 21 and Flint Hill road and another store is planned in the Lake Wylie area. What I did not say is Wal-Mart has been planning a new store in Lancaster County on Highway 521 in Indian Land. Wal-Mart and Lancaster County officials did not know when construction will begin of the Indian Land Wal-Mart.
Still not enough shop to you drop? Construction for a new Wal-Mart is schedule to begin this year in the Newport community northwest of Rock Hill near the intersection of Highway 161 and Heckle Boulevard.

The quick answer is yes. It seems to be a buyers market for home sales almost everywhere thanks to the media. The media pounds us everyday with bad news about the credit industry, foreclosures, high gas prices, the weak dollar, etc. Some of it is true and some is, well just over exaggerated to say it nicely. So most potential home buyers today think it is a buyers market no matter where they are looking. But we still have a lot of people looking at homes for sale in our area.

I’ve had several request to share what our current real estate market condition is compared to last year. Many of you are considering options of whether this is the best time to sell or buy a home, some had questions as to what the list price to sold ratio is this year vs. last year, and many had just general questions about real estate as it applies to us. Below is a snapshot of the Tega Cay SOLD Market for January and February 2007 compared to the same time frame for 2008, as well as a breakout of Lake Shore SOLD activity.
If you would like specific information as it applies to your home and the appreciation value from when you purchased it compared to similar properties sold since that purchase date please contact me. I will be happy to do a complete analysis and provide you with information that can assist you in making important decisions. We’ve all heard about “Location, Location, Location”; in today’s changing real estate market the slogan “TIMING, TIMING, TIMING” should also become part of the equation.

Century 21®First Choice Realtor® in Tega Cay SC, Fort Mill SC, Lake Wylie SC, Rock Hill SC, South Charlotte NC. Awarded Top 100 Producing Century 21® Realtors in South Carolina and North Georgia.
I am a licensed Realtor® ABR in North and South Carolina. I am proud to be a Realtor® with Century 21 First Choice. I am also a professional decorator. I live in beautiful Tega Cay, SC. I work in the following areas but not limited to : Tega Cay, SC. - Fort Mill, SC. - Lake Wylie, SC. - Rock Hill, SC. - Charlotte, NC.
I am married and have three wonderful children. We moved to South Carolina from Katy, Texas when my husband changed jobs. I was born in South America and my family moved to the United States when I was ten. While we miss our families in Texas (and we miss the great Mexican food!), we are truly at home in South Carolina. We cherish its beauty, the charm and graciousness of the people, and we respect its wholesome environment to raise our children.
We love living here so much that helping a family find their perfect home in our area is not a job, it's an absolute pleasure!
Our family enjoys the boating on the lake. If I was to say I have a hobby it would be entertaining. I thoroughly enjoy entertaining friends and host as many "events" as we can throughout the year. Not having family close by has taught us to treasure our friendships and we are very fortunate to live in an area with so many great people.
HOW MY EXPERIECE CAN HELP ME SELL YOUR HOME
- Interior Designer- I have over six years of business ownership and hands on experience as an Interior Designer. I will personally, and at no additional cost to you, showcase your home and its special features to potential buyers. Not only will I give you general suggestions on how to get your home ready to sell, I know what it takes to give your house that "model home" feel and I can get it done!
- Human Resources- Before staying home to raise my children I worked as a Human Resource Specialist. Dealing with multiple personalities, managing training goals, and providing the "people" resources for different companies developed my listening and follow through skills that will now apply to working with my real estate clients.
- Volunteer Experience- During the last twelve years I have been involved in my children's schools and PTA Organizations. I have held Executive Board positions ranging from Fund Raising to Volunteer Management. My children have always been my number one priority and I am a firm believer in our parental involvement being a key factor of our children's success.
To me being a volunteer means devoting precious hours towards the greater good without expectation of financial return. I have always devoted my time to the things that I am passionate about, and the programs and opportunities that I love. I am passionate about real estate, and I love doing my job. My passion translates to the hours and effort I will give to marketing and selling your home.
- Home Buyer/Home Seller- Over the last ten years my family has moved four times. I am personally familiar with the worries and stress of selling a home. I understand the concerns of pricing, the worries of market issues, and the stress of showing a home. While every market is different every home will sale! My homes all sold within a few weeks of listing. I can use that experience to showcase your home to all its advantages.
Having been a home seller those many times also makes me an experienced home buyer. Not only can I offer you a comprehensive market analysis, provide you with a detailed marketing plan, and the support, experience and services of Century 21 First Choice, I can also give you an unbiased, professional opinion of what a buyer sees and thinks when they walk into your house.

To Whom it may concern,
I would state the experience I have had working with Carmen Miller from Century 21 Real Estate. Carmen listed my home in Tega Cay, SC in the Fall of 2007. First I would like to state that I interviewed several realtors to list my home. I was very impressed with Carmen's professional presentation of herself and the company she represented. She was very thorough on what she represented and what she would do to sell my home. She illustrated how current technology would assist in the sale of the home. I was updated frequently on showings of my house. After signing the listing contract, my home was staged, a virtual tour was developed and published on the internet immediately. Carmen's persistence, hard work, and professional advice helped me understand the steps we would take in the sale of the home. I would highly recommend Carmen Miller as a listing or buying agent. I also hired her as my buying agent which resulted in an immediate home purchase for myself.
Sincerely,

After selling our home in less than six weeks when neighbors' homes sat for over a year, we were extremely pleased with our decision to use Carmen Miller of Century 21 as our Realtor. There are several reasons we selected Carmen over other agents in the area and would continue to use her in the future:
· To showcase our home, unlike any other agents, Carmen utilized her several years of interior design experience. Carmen was able to emphasize our homes' selling assets and identify areas in need of improvement in a courteous and professional manner. For example, she helped us reposition furniture and remove clutter to make certain rooms appear larger and more functional. Additionally, she made suggestions to enhance our landscaping during the drought to make first impressions lasting impressions.
· To target the more sophisticated, high priced buyers from out-of-state or country under time-constraints, Carmen insisted on hiring a professional to create a virtual tour for Internet marketing.
· To help identify a competitive price point for listing our home, Carmen prepared a comprehensive feature sheet highlighting the upgrades in our home. Then she even took the time to walk the competition and extensively researched the previously sold comparable homes in the area to create a market analysis. With a little short of a full price offer, she knew exactly how to price our home to sell it in a timely manner.
· To bring in buyers, Carmen along with Century 21s experience helped attract qualified buyers through local and national advertising plans in home publications, newspapers and Internet websites.
· To insure proper traffic for our open house, Carmen notified her extensive list of neighborhood contacts utilizing her friends-refer-friends approach to marketing along with her local advertising. Additionally, she provided proper signage making the home easy to find; she supplied snacks and drinks to make buyers feel welcome; and provided buyers with a plethora of information on the home, neighborhood and surrounding areas selling features.
· To make the showing process more comfortable for us, she used Centralized Showing. This company called us ahead of time to let us know when our home was being shown.
· To prepare for any offers, Carmen once again thought ahead with a specification book including frequently asked questions, home warranty information, annual utility budget sheet and more.
· To ensure an efficient closing, she was organized and able to identify what she needed from us and kept in close contact with the buyer's agent and closing agency.
• Most importantly to create a lifetime client, she sold our home for the right price in the right time.
We appreciated Carmen's Internet savvy and fresh approach to selling our home. She was always professional, organized and enthusiastic as I'm sure she'll be with the sale of your home or property. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either one of us.
Best wishes,
Eve and Dennis McCaffreyTega Cay, SC.
