Is the sequel ever as good as the first? I don't know, sometimes. I mean movies like Matrix, Back to the Future, and Madagascar 2 come to mind.
I wanted to take a brief moment to recap what we at Eagle Realty, a family of companies...truly family...meant by Synergizing all we do. You know we offer Real Estate sales and are the local experts, as well Vacation and Longterm rentals, appraisals, and now Insurance Services through SIG www.StalveyInsuranceGroup.com We are your family of experts and are here to service all these needs in the north myrtle beach area and up and down the south and north carolina coast.
But for you as the client, is this beneficial? Why would you want to take advantage...well let's throw out convenience. Convenience is good, one roof, one stop, one shop...but honestly with the advent of the internet, what is NOT convenient now adays? You could have multiple tabs from different companies all at different times in your browser for all the services above mentioned. So what else? Here is the kicker...do you trust, or want to trust who you work with in any service? How about being comfortable not only with the person, but with the persons level of knowledge and expertise in how they are working for you? Here is the thing, as a family of companies, we have an accountability to each other internally. To maintain your loyalty as our clients, all areas have to be up to the expert level of the strongest area. You don't have to worry about being reffered out to someone and starting the trust porcess all over again...Real Estate Sales, Rentals, Insurance, Appraisals...you know you can trust and be comfortable with Eagle Realty, Eagle Resorts, Inc, and Stalvey Insurance Group. SYNERGY, more than a word, a comfort level for you and your family at Eagle. www.EagleRealtySC.com
Or, in verb form (for our purposes) SYNERGIZATION!!
But, that's the road and "keyword"...or buzz word...for EAGLE REALTY, EAGLE RESORTS, EAGLE APPRAISAL, and Stalvey Insurance Group (SIG), in 2010. Coming out of the 2nd Annual Eagle Leadership summit it is determined that one of our main focuses as we remain Experts in the marketplace is to make sure our customers and clients know our dedicated service extends beyond just one facet of our family of companies.

OK, 2 quick points: 1. I am going to have to remind you for the next couple months about this, not to be annoying or to pressure you, but to plead with you to take Free money from the government. I mean, they offered it first, so why not take advantage of their generosity? $8000 for 1st time buyers and $6500 for buyers looking for a new primary residence. True credit no payback...seriously? Yes, seriously. The biggest hold up to take advantage is having to sell current residence...well if you are renting, then you don't have that problem. If you currently own, yes it is time to sell and buy one of the tremendous deals on the market. Eagle experts are standing by to help you sell your home and turn around and purchase a hot deal on out of this buyers market. www.EagleRealtySC.com .
2. Reverse Offers - I was just educated by one of my agents on this "outside the box" practice hitting the scene. It really is not that weird when you think about. The initial offer just starts with the seller to a prospective buyer. Instead of waiting for the buyer to make a move, the seller preempts and takes the initiative through their Realtor to find out if the buyer is serious and looking for a good deal. Does this work all the time? NO. but could it work for you...an Eagle Expert can help you make that decision.
Have a "soaring" real estate experience, trust the Eagle Realty experts in North Myrtle Beach.
Ok, first off, this is VERY important: Monday Night Football - 8:30pm tonite - the premier of the Eagle Realty 2009 Commercial! Check it out on Time Warner cable tonight Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Denver Broncos...it is gonna be awesome..and the game will be cool too!
But seriously...here is the thing...the extension of the Tax credit, not only extension, but expansion, is in full swing as the president has signed. What does this mean? "the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit and giving additional tax breaks to certain homeowners trading up. Passed overwhelmingly by Congress, the bill would provide a $6,500 tax credit to homeowners who are buying a new primary residence beginning Dec. 1. The language mandates that to get the credit the homeowner must have owned their home for five consecutive years of the previous eight. But there are caps on the tax credits. They only apply to individual buyers who make no more than $125,000 and $250,000 for couples. There is also an anti-flipping provision: Any homeowner who collects the credit and sells within three years must return the money. The FTHB was extended to cover consumers signing a contract by April 30 and closing by June 30."
This way more people will be able to take advantage of this buyers market, but in my opinion this will be the last extension to take advantage...this credit will NOT ALWAYS BE HERE...so don't wait, the new clock is ticking!
The focus: People , Giving, and Growth. If i had to sum up what was discussed this morning at the 2nd annual Eagle Leadership Summit , those would be my choice words. There is a vision, a purpose, and mission here at Eagle Realty and for all our family of companies including SIG Insurance, Our Vacation and Long-term rental department Eagle Resorts, and Eagle Appraisal services...Synergized together to bring the Expert service you deserve as our customers and clients.
Our agents make us great. And our clients and customers become a part of our family, and to be honest, we couldn't do anything without you! This is a "people" industry and realize that. Our expert service is worthless if not carried out through our client relationships and relationships with each other here at Eagle. In that, we must continue to strive forward in better expertise for you and ourselves.
"We measure our success by how much we give..." - Chris Ward This has become my new mantra for Eagle Realty. Through our organization 4031missions.org and with multiple-charity donation with each closed transaction...the more we give the more successful we will become. I believe this truly that God will reward us back for our focus on others rather than ourselves.
I am proud to say that we are the #1 Independent in the North Myrtle Beach, SC area per Volume in Sales and are striving toward the top independent company on the SC & NC coast...this is our short and long-term goal pursuit. As we strive forward we look forward to serving you and serving others...Eagle Realty is not going anywhere, and we are proud to be your "Local Experts for Local Real Estate"...
So you may have noticed no BLOG yesterday from Eagle...or at least i hope you did because that would mean you are in tune with our epic blogging, ...but seriously, i was out of the office for the entire afternoon. Why you so affectionately ask? We At first, it was not for what it ended up being. We (my wife an i) had an appt. in Wilmington at the doctor for a completely different reason that ended in knowledge received we (I) was not ready for.
For those of you who didn't know my wife, Emily is pregnant with our first, though we have a 6 year old boy Julian, who is awesome, from her first marriage. But, it looks like she won out this time with balancing the playing field at home because we have a little GIRL on the way. Break out the pink! (or tiffany blue in this case as my wife said)
I would be lieing if i said i wasn't nervous...what father isn't at the news of a girl...but happy and healthy also come to mind and everything looks good in those categories.
How does this relate to real estate you may say? Well, for the most part it doesn't, but it does relate to life. When you deal with Eagle Realty, you deal with real humans...REALTOR's have lives, families, problems, joy and sadness like everyone else. In fact through our wisdom of life, we gather more expertise to help you with one of the largest decisions and purchases you make in your lifetime, a home purchase. Wouldn't you want, and don't you deserve, to work with an Expert? Eagle Realty...
Oh how i love puns...but i may take this one a little too far so just let me know, lol!
1. (we are breaking this down numbered bullet point type)...You have got to have heard (especially if you follow us on Twitter www.twitter.com/eaglerealtysc) that the senate and the "house" have approved and are int eh works of extending and expanding(very key) the home buyer tax credit. Not only to extend to into 2010 (April est.) but expand it to not just First-Time buyers but to "move-up" buyers as well($6500 proposed credit to them)! Opens a lot of doors of people to take advantage of the glutton of deals in the myrtle beach market!
2. Sellers, are you ready? I mean with a new avenue of buyers heading intot he market to take advantage of FREE money, is your property ready to sell? Need an opinion, trus tthe Experts at Eagle Realty...we can let you know what kind of "house work" might be ahead of you to make sure your property is prime for showings to potential buyers coming into the market in the months ahead.
3. Did i mention i have some "house work" (final pun i promise) this weekend, in fact today. Yes as much i love helping my clients buy and sell homes, i need not neglect my own home. Some painting, caulking, cleaning...the usual house work (oops one more).
Have a great weekend and see you in Nov! (stay tuned for the monthly marketing report "Eagle Eye on the Carolina's" coming out tomorrow via email!
First take a nice little read from Frank McGinnis in Myrtle Beach at Bank of America: "OVERVIEW ~ Mortgage rates rose slightly, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average for shares of stock danced back and forth across the 10,000 mark. In the midst of investors' greater inclination to leave aside the safety of Treasury securities and seek out investments with higher risks and therefore higher yields, the mortgage interest rate only rose from about 5 to 10 basis points, depending on whose data we're looking at. The spread between the 10-year Treasury note and the average 30-year mortgage rate rose very slightly from 1.96% to 2.04% (as of October 19th's close), indicative of sustainable interest rates with little immediate inclination to rise or fall by a significant amount."
For those of you financial nuts hope this blends with your synopsis of the market place this past week...
Let's take a time out to everyone on the 2009 $8000 Tax credit...we all know the count down is almost over for the Nov 30th closing deadline...but wait, is there hope?!?! Congress is reviewing bills and amendments to the plan that would keep the stimulation in effect for the housing recovery and possibly open it up even broader to ALL BUYERS! How awesome. I mean, we can see the recovery over the past year here in the myrtle beach area of south carolina...but with that kind of monetary credit open to all buyers, we could really recover the real estate market back to normal levels. Mortgage rates are rising slightly and you know when demand increases so will rates so you will want to be on the front end of the buying-blitz. Stay tuned for updated info on the decision from the Government from Eagle Realty.
