beaufort sc real estate: When My Home, Becomes This House
- 10/26/10 11:53 PM
At first, a tabula rasa of plans and creativity can often morph into less of an adventure and more of a burden. Obvious catalysts such as divorce, job relocation, and financial upheaval take their place as the usual suspects; yet, lesser known but equally powerful are the smaller complications that often chip away at the wall of fondness towards the walls of home.
A residence becomes many things over the course of ownership. It ebbs and flows between new project, old repairs, new replacements, and old cares.
Tides of change can wrinkle the face of a neighborhood that was once bursting … (19 comments)

Today will be full of preparations, organization, notification, and a whole lot of whoohooo's. We are buzzing around the office trying to make sure we have everything ready; expectations are grand.

beaufort sc real estate: And Worrying That Today Will Be The Day That Someone Realizes You Don't Have it All Figured Out
- 10/24/10 09:33 AM
At the tender age of 9, I read a quote that has forever been implanted in my mind. I find that to be astonishing in and of itself especially in times when my mind seems to be the slipping slide of fodder.
"If only one woman would tell the truth of her life, the world would split wide open." Anonymous
Now why on earth would that make such an enormous impact on a 9 year old?
Well maybe it was because at the time I most likely felt guilty for my latest prank towards my little sister or the mere thought of … (6 comments)

- 10/24/10 07:55 AM
Everyone is in a relationship; complicated, comfy, controversial or even completely creative. I am in several, even hundreds. I have a relationship with my coworkers, my friends, my insurance agent, and my dog.
So whether or not you admit it on Facebook, you too are "In a Relationship".

beaufort sc real estate: The Difference Between Spots on the Windows and Spot On!
- 10/13/10 03:49 PM
This is from one of my favorite Realtors in NC. Her post is actually universal when addressing simple things sellers may want to pay close attention to, when putting their best foot forward!!!
It was BEAUTIFUL in Wake Forest NC today and I was fortunate to be out and about with clients this morning touring some homes for sale. There were some really gems in the mix and then there were those that didn't quite make the list.
Anyhow, all of the homes were similar in size, price, private back yards and in close proximity to each other. All of … (3 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: Isn't It Just Realtors Talking To Realtors? What Good Does That Do?
- 10/13/10 01:43 PM
Have you ever tried to explain something to a puppy? Or maybe have an intellectual conversation with a tree stump? Or possibly, you have found yourself offering a raft to a sinking ship only to have the ill-fated cruisers look away? There comes a point when the puppy resumes chewing your shoes, the stump politely refuses communication, the the &^%#$ boat sinks. It happens.
It never ceases to amaze me at the sheer determination of others to find excuses, not reasons, for the success of the successful. It is obviously because of the successful person's connections, gender, hair style or maybe … (61 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: There Is Just Not an App For That!
- 10/12/10 01:56 AM
More and more I find colleagues struggling to define their worth in a virtual driven market. By the touch of a finger, buyers can get answers to questions instantly. Sellers can spend hours browsing the web for tips, suggestions, and ideas on how to market their very own home. After all, there is an answer and/or an application for every possible situation, scenario, and sale, right?
Find a Realtor. A breathing, speaking, sold-at-least-one-house, full time Realtor.
He or she will help you decipher the truth from the traps. As fabulous as our world of instant info can be, as of … (16 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: Beaufort South Carolina Market Update: The Real, Real Estate Facts
- 10/11/10 02:23 AM
Just a local as cast nets, shrimp burgers, and Parris Island Recruits!! Our real estate market is unique for many reason. Not only our we honored to have The Few, The Proud, we also have many coming from all over who can't wait to enjoy our slow southern life style. Our medical industry draws the very best in the profession and is constantly receiving honors! Seafarers find their sea legs just happen to be more comfy amid the ever changing marshlands and steady tides.
It is important to remember that our real estate market is just as unique. Don't be encouraged, … (0 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: New Boots or Rain Camp?
- 10/08/10 02:27 AM
Of course I am guilty. We all do it. Even the most discerning email extraordinaire deletes emails that at first glance are seemingly less important than the other five million in our inbox. I just spent twenty minutes searching for the RainCamp Comes to Charlotte email. Thank goodness I found it.
It joined my inbox yesterday while I was contemplating a new pair of boots. Again, we all do it. I had four hundred other things I should have been doing, but this is the temptation of having the world, even the retail world, at our fingertips.
It had been a … (4 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: Google Thinks My Name is Jeremy
- 10/04/10 10:36 AM
I may have been a little more than fashionably late to the Google Voice party; however, just when I think it is safe to announce my arrival, I speak.
Beaming with pure southern pride, I let all my contacts know that I joined the popular kids. I am now fully equipped with the ever powerful Google Voice. I will be able to prioritize my calls, answer with gazelle like speed, and impress everyone around me with my Googleness.
Just one little problem. Google DOES NOT speak Southern. Every poor soul that calls me and leaves a message is completely unaware at … (18 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: Face to Face
- 10/03/10 02:15 PM
I have always enjoyed Facebook. My family lives states away, I have friends all over the world, and there just isn't enough text messages and/or minutes in the day to possibly connect with everyone. Facebook really helps me feel close to those so dear to me, even when it is impossible for me to do so.
It wasn't until recently that I realized how important it was to have a business page as well. My clients have expressed to me how much they have enjoyed being able to stay updated on not only their transactions, but local real estate trends, open … (8 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: It Started As A Conversation Over Coffee~
- 10/03/10 10:48 AM
Sheer desperation, a healthy dose of naivety, and the presumption that most women sincerely want to help other women, led me to start WIRED, Women In Real Estate and Development. After five years, we are still meeting monthly, hashing out challenges, critiquing new tools, sharing experiences and laughs with the hopes of promoting positive change within our industry.
What began as a simple conversation over coffee has evolved to a force in real estate.
Our members include attorneys, Realtors, interior designers, photographers, real estate marketing experts, office managers, builders, paralegals, publishers, web designers, and more! Each bringing a wealth … (6 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: Sleeping Beauty, Interesting Photo's, and Christmas, a Whole Lot of Christmas
- 09/30/10 02:20 AM
Showing homes to buyers is always an event. This week was no different. In the rain, I toured five homes with an adorable first time buyer couple. Their feedback was priceless. After our exhausting, informative, productive, and at times, comical tour of homes was complete, we compiled a a list of ways to NOT SELL YOUR HOME.
10 Ways NOT to Sell Your Home
1. Make it difficult for an agent to show it. I was shocked at how many sellers, even with 24 hour notice, were unwilling to show their home.
2. Don't get out of bed. Yep! True story. As we walked into a … (3 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: I Attended the Town Hall Meeting and Felt GUILTY!!!!
- 09/28/10 03:50 AM
It was pouring rain. Not sprinkles, not misting, not even a light shower instead it was like walking through a car wash. I could have come up with at least 200 excuses, some even viable, not to attend yesterday's Port Royal Town Hall meeting. For starters, it was Monday. To add insult to injury it was Monday at 4pm, on the other side of town, and of course all the good parking spots had been taken. Problem is, I gave my word. Darn integrity!
We get so busy, so caught up in paperwork and the day to day tasks that somehow … (6 comments)
