sumter real estate: Selling When My Home Becomes The House - 03/24/11 04:40 PM
My Home vs The HouseMany sellers struggle with putting their homes on the market. Homes are a personal thing. Homes are where we live. Where we retreat to after a long hard day. Where our families met up each day to discuss their days and activities. …....SCREECH! Stop those thoughts!As a seller of a home in Sumter, you need to think of this property as a HOUSE. It is bricks, vinyl, mortar, sheet rock and flooring. A HOUSE has less emotional attachment than a home. As a Realtor, one of the first things I learned was a property is a HOUSE

sumter real estate: September 2010 Sumter SC Market Report - 10/07/10 02:51 PM
Market Summary Thru September 30, 2010 September had 74 residential properties close. An increase of 12 units over August 2010. Looking at the Monthly Units Closed chart, one might expect to see a peak in November as we did last year, but I would feel confident in saying we won't see that peak this year. That peak was generated with the end of the 2009 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit at the end of November and then that was extended with a newer version that ended in having a house under contract in April 2010. There are

sumter real estate: What Are These Things? - 10/06/10 10:00 AM
When visiting a historical area, one may see these steps at the street and wonder. They are too low to be a bench. Do they cover up something? Why are they between the road and the sidewalk? What is this thing just stuck out there on it’s own and they are usually directly between the road and the front door of the building.These are carriage steps and date back to horse drawn carriages. The carriages sat high and these steps were designed so riders could exit carriages easily and gracefully. I have seen many of them in Charleston, SC down

sumter real estate: Renting in Sumter, SC - 09/27/10 11:36 AM
The rental market in Sumter is HOT right now. Many service members who are being stationed at Shaw are choosing to rent due to their short stay at Shaw. There are many options available for rentals in the Sumter area. Rentals include single family homes, duplexes and apartment complexes. I have been asked many times by renters the procedure and what is required to rent a property. Through many of the Real Estate Brokerages, a renter must complete a rental application and have a credit report pulled for review. This normally does include in $35 fee for the credit

Fall also gives you the time to take on some of those projects you might have been putting off. It also means that if you are considering selling your house on the next year, now is the time to consult a Realtor(R). This consultation will be a great time to interview several agents and get some great advice on how to prepare your home for sale. Be honest with the agents and tell them when you are looking at putting your home on the market and what your plans on. A good agent will be glad to visit with you

Market Summary Thru April 30, 2010 April brought a flurry of buyer activity into the Sumter Market. The good news is for many potential home buyers the tax credit may not have ended on April 30th!

Since many Air Force and Army personnel fit this category, they may still be able to use the tax credit to purchase a home! In April Sumter county had
