The number of foreclosures soared in 2007, with 405,000 households losing their home, according to a report released recently.  That's up 51 percent from the 268,532 homes that were repossessed in 2006.

Four Easy Home Improvements - 10:14 AM
If your house needs a makeover, but remodeling is beyond your reach, try these four simple fixes:
Touch-up exteriors. Repainting the trim and front door of your house can significantly boost its curb appeal. This kind of retouching work is easy on the budget and can be done in just a couple of hours. 
Replace your floors. The widespread availability of affordable "floating floors" (flooring options that can be installed on top of existing boards or linoleum) makes updating the floors in your rec room or pantry a cinch.  You'll probably save a minimum $500 to $600 dollars by doing it … (2 comments)

West End Historic Area and Westend Market in Greenville - 10:49 PM
The West End Historic Area and Westend Market is located at the South end of Main Street at Augusta Street in Greenville, just across the Reedy River from downtown. It has a long and interesting history. After earlier settlements in the 1830’s the Furman University was established in 1852 on fifty acres of land in the West End, where it expanded and remained until 1958. This development and the arrival of the Greenville & Columbia Railroad in the West End in 1853 led to both residential and commercial development of the area. In the 1890’s this area was called Greenville’s second … (0 comments)

I Busted The Active Rain Chain...But I Can Fix That...ROAR! - 03:42 PM
For your listening pleasure, click on the picture of Bob Stewart and his Son Kelan. Chain…Chain…Chain…La La La :) As some of you know I am responsible for breaking the link in The Active Rain Chain. This post will serve as an apology to all who have come before me. It will also serve as a warning to never ask me to conform or write on demand. I am not very good at either of these things. Must be the Maverick in me  :) Anyway, some time ago I received a call from Lola Audu. It seemed she had chosen me … (43 comments)

Buyers Crash Course - 01:52 AM
CRASH COURSE!
When you're buying a home, who do you think is the most important person in the transaction?  YOU, of course!  That doesn't mean you won't need experienced professionals for guidance and assistance, but quite frankly, if YOU choose not to buy, the entire process comes to a halt.
While home ownership is called the American Dream, it's a shame that nobody teaches it in school.  Most folks face the biggest purchase of their life without any experience.  That's why it's critical for someone to help you understand everything that happens during the process, whether it's your accountant, your banker, or your … (0 comments)

What are the 3 most important things Real Estate Agents must do to improve their online presence? - 09:48 AM

So, yesterday was Super Tuesday. I passed by many polling stations but sadly, I found myself not voting at all. Apparently, Barbara Bush was not on the ballot this year. Darn it. Maybe I should have voted for the other former first lady?
With so many choices, how does one narrow down who the best candidate is? Some say it's about the issues and what they stand for while others say it's all about the economy stupid. It's no wonder so many Americans don't get out and vote. They're just overwhelmed by choices and are clearly are not motivated enough … (0 comments)

Very Fitting - 02:05 PM
I chuckled as I came across your group "Coffee Loving Realtors."  Yesterday, I learned first-hand that not only do I love coffee...but I am quite dependent on coffee.  Tuesday morning, I turned off my alarm and proceeded through my morning ritual.  Finally, I reached my favorite part of said ritual.  I poured Creme Brulee creamer into my favorite Ole Miss Rebels cup, pushed the lever of my Cuisinart coffee pot and listened for the wonderful sound of hot, fresh coffee filling my cup.  Here is where the trouble began...there was no sound.  I pushed the lever again...and waited...and waited...  What was this?  No coffee?  I turned … (0 comments)

"Don't Turn Your Blog into a Refrigerator Magnet!": Blog Tips for Rain Drips - 08:33 AM
One of the primary hallmarks of the ActiveRain Community has been the wonderfully warm and nurturing nature of our membership.
For many of us, the prospect of learning how to blog was daunting enough, but to be able to do so in a non-threatening and encouraging environment like ActiveRain is incredibly helpful to the process.
I remember making my fair share of mistakes early on. Fortunately, there were many extremely helpful fellow Rainers who kindly mentored me, and showed me the errors of my way. I've been tempted on numerous occasions to go back into my archives and delete some of those … (67 comments)

Is your client an ***? Are you? - 09:59 AM
I recently had my first client from h-e-double hockey sticks. I suppose it was bound to happen. I had a gut feeling I was making a deal with the devil when I took on this client. But I'm not one to talk bad about people behind their backs so that's all I'll say about it.
I came across a test to help you determine if you have one of those types of clients http://yourclientfromhell.com/. And here's a quiz to help determine if you are the problem http://electricpulp.com/guykawasaki/arse/.

Seeking brokers re: DROdio Strategy for 2008 and beyond - 01:48 AM
Our firm has always done a great job servicing clients locally. But recently, we’ve realized something else: We can help other REALTORS do the same thing by referring deals to them.
Through some marketing wizardry, we’ve watched our online traffic grow by more than 100 fold, from an average of 20 unique visitors per day in early 2007, to an average of over 2,500 unique visitors per day as of February, 2008. We expect these numbers to keep rising.
In fact, here are two of our traffic graphs:
