Is your website working?

Amy Whiffen, REALTOR® - Myrtle Beach Real Estate (Eagle Realty ) — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:54:11 -0600

I have noticed today that my point 2 agent website has not been working. I've checked a couple others in the area and theirs are not working as well. How about yours? Maybe their having issues, I haven't been able to open anything from the main site...

Yes, the Myrtle Beach area real estate market is changing!

Amy Whiffen, REALTOR® - Myrtle Beach Real Estate (Eagle Realty ) — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 22:20:55 -0500

Prices have lowered, there are more homes on the market, and properties are taking longer to sell. Old news right? If you are concerned about the price you will get for your home if sold, renting it out may be another option.

On the Grand Strand since 1999, Eagle Realty started out managing vacation rentals at Tidewater Resort and other popular Myrtle Beach ocean front communities. Today we also manage properties available for long term rent in the Carolina Forest, Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Little River and Conway areas of Horry County.

While I'm trying to stay away from those lame marketing gimmicks, I believe we do have excellent marketing programs, unique (not high %) management programs and the drive to get everyone through these times as best as possible!

Give me a call we'll discuss the options, and remember - the market is a cycle, up's and down's - let's grab on and do something, instead of nothing!

Carolina Forest Community Park - Myrtle Beach, SC

Amy Whiffen, REALTOR® - Myrtle Beach Real Estate (Eagle Realty ) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 15:33:11 -0500

Hi! I wanted to drop a quick note about the new "Carolina Forest Community Park" project that's now under way. Tomorrow night (Tuesday, September 23rd) 7pm at the Carolina Forest Community Church we are asking all area residents to come for our Design Day Kick off. Even if you do not have children please come as this park is an important step for our community.

Tomorrow designers, architects and Horry County Parks and Rec. personnel will be interviewing children at our area elementary schools to help get an idea of what "our" park should entail. The first plans will be unveiled tomorrow night.

The completion date for the park is set for April 2009. The budget for the project is $400,000, $300,000 of which has been appropriated by Sen. Luke Rankin and designated for use on this project. Volunteers hope to raise the rest of the money through fundraising efforts and donations from people, churches and businesses in the community.

I have already committed to help bring this park to reality and I'm sure there's many of you that can appreciate what this will do for our community, so please don't hesitate to jump in and join us.

I hope to see you tomorrow night!

Amy

Myrtle Beach’s Greatest Kids Summer Camp Ever!

Amy Whiffen, REALTOR® - Myrtle Beach Real Estate (Eagle Realty ) — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 08:42:04 -0500

This summer my son had reached the wise old age of 5 and had decided he wanted to be like mommy and learn how to golf. How could I say no? I myself have been having so much fun the last few weeks and truly wish I had learned years ago. So after one of my lessons with Natalie at The Classic Swing Golf School at Legends Golf Resort here in Myrtle Beach I grabbed a flyer explaining their 19^th Annual Junior Golf Program.

Over the summer they have 10 week long classes for ages 5-17. You can take as few or as many classes as you want. My son ended up taking three weeks worth of classes, spread out over the 3 months and all I can say is he has never had so much fun before!

He met new friends and as hot as the summers get in Myrtle Beach the kids were always so excited to get out there and learn. The instructors made learning so fun with contests, games and yes even a video analysis to take home and show everyone!

I just found out Natalie is going to be running a fall clinic open to all junior golfers held for 6 weeks every Saturday starting on October 4^th from 1:30 -3pm. The price for the six week program is $150.

Feel Free to call the golf school at 843-903-5560 with any questions or to register your junior.

Is my son going to be the next Tiger Woods, extremely unlikely. But as long as he has fun and wants to continue with golf, I know where he's going - The Classic Swing Golf School!

Green Home Building Expo ~ Myrtle Beach, SC

Amy Whiffen, REALTOR® - Myrtle Beach Real Estate (Eagle Realty ) — Fri, 02 May 2008 11:05:39 -0500

Yesterday my son and I got the opportunity to visit the Horry-Georgetown Home Builders Association Green Building Expo at the Myrtle Beach Convention center.

This was the first green building expo of its kind here in Myrtle Beach. About 100 different companies offering the latest tools for going green were available to educate builders and homeowners about the importance of being environmentally conscious and to give them a peek at the newest green building techniques.

Here is a sample of my favorite products and websites for more info. If I did not include your product or company I apologize, there were so many great products I could write for days!

Sapona Green Building Center ~ based out of Wilmington, NC.
They are best described as "A little Green Lowes", they sell cool sustainable products such as recycled paper countertops (PaperStone), Safecoat paints, recycled glass and metal products and much more.

Allmet Roofing Products ~ All Aspect Roofing in Myrtle Beach. I personally love the tile roof look on homes and this stone coated steel roof product blew me away! It looks awesome! There's lots of different style options, and it's not nearly as heavy as actual tiles. It's a much better option in my opinion. Especially when you look at the fire, wind and hail warranty's, and long lasting life of the product.

Cork Flooring ~ After reading numerous articles about the negatives of "regular" carpet I have been investigating different types of bamboo flooring to possibly use in the future during remodeling or new construction. That was until I saw all the options with cork floors! It's safe for kitchens and bathrooms, and it doesn't kill trees to harvest! They're using the bark! How cool is that? Call Marty at Appliance Plus, 843-651-3303 for more Myrtle Beach area cork flooring info.

Solatube ~ Solar Star, Coastal Transformations.
I found Solatube a couple years ago and cannot wait to put one in my spare bathroom (no windows). I had not heard about the Solar Star until yesterday though. It's a solar powered attic fan, which is a great idea for homes here in Myrtle Beach. Those of us with actual attic space really can't use them for much storage due to the heat, but this is awesome. It will help with the heating and cooling of your attic and help with your home temp!

Cedar Oil Industries ~ Natural Pest Repellent.
It's a well known fact in Myrtle Beach you need pest control. But I know I tend to worry what's being sprayed in my house... How safe is it for my kids and dog? This product is all natural cedar oil. From what I was told it works as a pheromone interruption agent that impairs bad bugs...You can attach it to a sprinkler system, or hand spray. Call Chuck at Green Outdoor Living for more info, 843-333-2233.

Direct Exchange Geothermal Heat Pumps / Solar Water Heating ~ Home Energy Inc, 910-540-8633
This is way too technical for me to try to explain but it's recognized as the most efficient heating and cooling systems available today and it's safe to use in the beach and coastal areas! Call and ask Todd for more information at the above number.

Santee Cooper Power ~ I need to write a separate blog about all the great programs and things they are doing for our future and environment!

Please keep in mind I am only explaining what I have learned at the expo, I do not represent these products or companies, contact them for specifics. I am a Myrtle Beach Realtor that is concerned about our environment and how we are leaving it to our future generations. Just do a little when you can!

So it finally happened, I bought my first set of golf clubs yesterday!

Amy Whiffen, REALTOR® - Myrtle Beach Real Estate (Eagle Realty ) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 09:30:38 -0500

Since I moved to Myrtle Beach in 1999 I've thought about learning how to golf but always set my goal aside for another time. I guess sitting there a few times in the past watching the golfers swing away at the driving range with poker faces and no joking much less speaking was a little intimidating. I began to think it may be too serious of a sport, I like to have fun. When I am learning something and do it right, I get excited and maybe even do a little "happy" dance. (You should see me at my Archery 3D shoots!) These people looked miserable and then of course there's all those golf jokes...

Well after living on a golf course for the past 4 months I have an entirely different view of the sport of golf. I have had one window broken, numerous hits to the house, area trees and even my son is looking into selling used golf balls. (He's 5 and finds an average of 4 balls a week in our backyard) Now all I do is smile, and watch in admiration. Maybe it's because I live in Myrtle Beach, one of the best spots to play golf, or maybe the perfect weather we have been having lately because all day smiling golfers having a great time zoom past the house in their carts. (A bit distracting because I mostly work from my home office)

So now it's my turn! By the way, even my 5 and 7 year old have golf clubs... So Saturday off we went to The Cane Patch driving range downtown Myrtle Beach. I borrowed my boyfriends clubs, bought a basket of balls and away we went. I thought I did real good, he showed a bit of frustration with instructing me, but I had fun. Man, were my arms sore a couple hours after. I guess from what a Rotarian friend said I was probably too tense in the shoulders?

Well Sunday after breakfast at Cracker Barrel, we headed over to Dicks Sporting Goods to check out club sets. I got lucky and found a great full set on sale, grabbed a new glove and headed home. A couple hours later I was still having fun and was hitting the ball about 80% of the time where I wanted it to go. I know different days will bring different outcomes but I'm looking forward to it!

If you have any great tips, favorite Myrtle Beach golf courses, or funny stories you'd like to share with "newbies" like me, I'd love to hear them! Now it's off to find golf shoes! Oh, yeah do they have to match your outfits?

One of historic Conway's best restaurants destroyed overnight!

Amy Whiffen, REALTOR® - Myrtle Beach Real Estate (Eagle Realty ) — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 08:00:13 -0600

I woke up this morning to the terrible news that the Rivertown Bistro on 3rd Ave in Conway had caught fire late last night and was destroyed. The Bistro was a great restaurant to meet with clients for lunch and enjoy a special dinner. It was one of the few restaurants in the Myrtle Beach / Conway area that had the look, feel and menu of a "big city" fine dining experience.

Here is a link to the local Sun News paper announcement. My thoughts and prayers are with the owners and employees...

HP notebook or MacBook Air?

Amy Whiffen, REALTOR® - Myrtle Beach Real Estate (Eagle Realty ) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 08:32:36 -0600

First off let me apologize if this post topic is redundant in any way... I was watching the NBC show this morning (yep, got caught on the piece about home mortgage issues) and saw the new MacBook Air. How cool does that look?!

I am in desperate need of a new computer. My HP notebook is on it's last legs and I've been sharing our home desktop with my children. (I never thought I'd have to negiotiate time blocks with my children about a computer).

Around 10 years ago I used a Mac at an old job and loved it, and with the new MacBook Air I'm really starting to rethink ordering another HP or Dell notebook... I've heard it's better for graphics, websites and such but I am unfamiliar with almost everything about Mac.

I'll do research to make sure all of my real estate programs & such are compatible, but I'm wondering how many of you out there have a Mac? Any pros or cons in regards to your real estate uses?

Thanks!
