Preparing Your Home for Sale - Nov 22 11:15 PM
By Sheri Sanders
Prudential C Dan Joyner Co Realtors
Buyers are drawn to homes that appeal to their senses. This is important to remember when preparing your home sale. Through sight, sound and smell, buyers should leave your home with a lasting impression. Here are some tips to showcase your home in the best-possible light.
Exterior
Start outside by inspecting the front of your home from across the street. Does it have curb appeal? It should look inviting, with ...

Look, Buddy, I Didn't Make This Market; I'm Just READING It!!! - Feb 13 12:02 AM
Why in the World do agents think they have to somehow stir the magic pot of real estate and obtain something else, other than reality? They are so protective of their listings, guarding them against lower pricing like a mother hen watching over her chicks. Six months later the listing expires and some aggressive agent who carries a thousand listings garners it at a 30% price reduction....
Listen up all you Real Estate Mother Hens: The ...

Professional Responsibility... It's Not Just Rhetoric! - Apr 08 09:58 PM
We had a saying in communist Romania: "we act like we're working, and they act like they're paying us." "They" in that sentence was the government, the sole employer for every single person in the country, whether doctor, lawyer, taxi driver or cleaning person.
It was under this "auspicious" environment of "make pretend work" that I had the great misfortune of attempting to fix a cavity on a permanent molar at the age of 14. I can ...

What Are The Risks Of Buying Foreclosures? - Jan 18 10:40 AM
I have never sold a Foreclosure, but I've had several Short sales (I'm usually successful at stopping foreclosures).
Does anyone know of the pitfalls of purchasing an actual Foreclosure? Doesn't the Buyer inherit all liens on the property, including the tax liens?
How about inspections? Doesn't the Buyer buy "as is", no inspections, no contingencies?
If you have bought or sold a foreclosure, and/or have facilitated one, could you please share your experience?
I'm getting pretty ...

Soul Mate Nr.23 - Apr 05 03:23 PM
An acquaintance of mine recently called his new girlfriend "His Soul Mate".
My ex-husband calls his current girlfriend "his soul mate", even though I was wife nr. 5 and the girlfriend doesn't even have a ring yet...
People throw around the term "Soul mate" to validate a current relationship, giving it a status quo that is fully undeserved.
Just for the record, I wanted to clarify what a soul mate is and isn't:
Your new girlfriend Not a ...

Is Our Current Market Different? - May 13 08:52 PM
I am in the midst of a buying frenzy here at the beach and I am behind with everything. My closet is a mess, my desk... I won't even go there....

Housing Crunch Costing Countys In SC - Apr 24 08:01 AM
Lexington County hasnt issued its report on permits for new homes. I am sure it will mirror Richland Countys reports.
The projection for Richland County is coming up short by nearly $1 Million dollars. We as Builders bought 734 fewer new home permits in 2007 and the trend has also carried over to the first quarter of 2008. The immediate impact of the lost revenue isnt clear at this point but may force the counties to raise ...

Is it a Home Buyers Market In Fort Mill? - Mar 10 08:48 PM
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 ...

Sumter, SC 2007 Market Report Summary - Jan 08 11:04 AM
I was inspired to start blogging on the Sumter, SC Real Estate Market by a report I heard on the TODAY show and by a potential out-of-town client. The national media has done a wonderful job of convincing buyers and sellers that the real estate market is the same anywhere in the United States. This has proven to be untrue not only in Sumter, but also in many other areas across the country. Yes, Sumter has ...

Good News about the Housing Market - Nov 30 08:46 AM
I recently read two articles that proved to us that we (our area) are not seeing the downturn in the housing market that the media is so strongly presenting across the nation. The press seems to give such a negative impact on the housing market and it may or may not be true to some areas. We always need to remember that situations vary for each individual (their investment goals, financial situation, area demographics and trends, relocation, etc).

Real Estate Market in Upstate SC is Great! - Nov 21 08:52 AM
We've all seen and heard the latest Real Estate headlines- all about how the market has taken a nosedive and houses aren't selling and foreclosures are at an all-time high- right? Well, it's true- at least in parts of Florida, Las Vegas, California, and the Northeast. In those places the nay Sayers are all correct. Not in the Upstate, however. Having a "Real Estate Expert" come on to CNN and talk about a slumping market is ...

Sumter, SC Real Estate Market.... - Nov 13 12:53 PM
With all the news and doom and gloom, everyone wants to ask me what the market is really like. First, remember all markets are local. Statistics are used to describe the market and to make generalizations. The problem with this is that one area can influence the market. When the news speaks in generalizations, it can influence everyone for the good or bad. What really got me thinking about this was a blurb on the Today ...

I wish I had a crystal ball to see into the future.
