Market Common Restaurants Serve It Up Right!

The new pedestrian friendly urban village in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina offers shopping and dining within walking distance of the townhomes.  It opened up on April 3rd with 3 excellent restaurants and the fourth opened over this weekend.  The food and service in each and every one is top shelf.  I have been fortunate to dine at each one.

If you are planning to travel to Myrtle Beach this year, be sure to stop at the Market Common and enjoy lunch or dinner at any of the restaurants below.  You will not be disappointed.

Gordon Biersch Brewery - Great for pub food and unique brews.  Try the Artichoke Dip in a Breadbowl  or their signature 'Garlic Fries'

Travinias - The table height bar is truly unique, but the food is what is truly memorable.  I had the ravioli in Alfredo sauce which was superb.

PF Chang's - Chinese dining at its best.  The lunch bowls for $8.50 are amazing and the lettuce wrap appetizers with their 'make it yourself' dips are fun and tasty.

Tommy Bahamas - The service is excellent and the food is delectable.  The Mahi Mahi was very spicy, but that is just what I love.  The coconut cake slice was so large that all in my party were able to enjoy it.  The open wall on a balmy night made me feel like I was dining in the tropics.

If you haven't been to Myrtle Beach in a while, you will be pleasantly surprised to see how the former Air Base has been transformed into this Urban Village.  Hope you plan on visiting soon...

Market Common - a Pedestrian Friendly Village in Myrtle Beach

Don't you wish you could park your car when you come home from work and not have to drive again until work the next day?  Wouldn't it be nice if you could grocery shop, dine in great restaurants, go to the movies, or shop at over 40 retail stores all within walking distance?  Myrtle Beach has just the community you have been waiting for...  

Dock Street Townhomes, the new pedestrian friendly Urban Village in Myrtle Beach is bustling with activity and it has only been open for a month.  Located on the former Air Base, it offers 2 and 3 story Residential Townhomes, as well as Live/Work Townhomes.  Prices start at $255,000 and go up to $525,000.  

The residential units offer 5 floor plans, one with a Master Suite on the first floor.  The 3 story townhomes have an elevator option to make the stairs more manageable.  The Live/Work Townhomes offer commercial space on the first floor and 2 floors above for the living space.  It is a bit like the old days when the shop owner lived above his business.   

If you would like more information, check out http://www.marketcommontownhomes.com/  or give me a call at 843.283.3417.  I would love the opportunity to talk to you about this exciting, unique community.

Market Common Real Estate Defies the Odds...

We had a meeting with our developer this morning and I am happy to tell you that he is offering some incentives on new constructions in the Residential section R11 and the Live/Work section R5.

We are offering $5,000 in free upgrades or additional closing expenses (provided they use National City Mortgage and Bellamy Law Firm) in unsold townhomes at the following locations:

1.  Lots 9-15, and 16-22 at Pinckney Square (R11)

2.  Lots 40-44, 1-9, 10-16 or 17-23 at South Market Row (R5)

These special incentives are effective immediately but may be terminated without notice. 

You have expressed an interest in a unit in one of these sections.  If you would like to make a selection, please call me today.  

The deposit for a residential unit is $10,000 and for a Live/Work is $15,000.  You should be able to take possession and move in by the end of the year. This will give you plenty of time to get the financing for the remainder of the purchase price in place.

There are still a few models available that are completed, allowing you to move in within the next 5 weeks. There are no incentives for these units.

Rutledge - #37    $345,000

St. James - #33 (around $435,000) This one just came available and the final price has not been set yet.

Market Common Update

The stores are all open and the traffic is great.  We have almost sold out on Phase I of our Live/Work Townhomes and are taking contract deposits and reservations in our Phase II and Phase III.

Lots of shoppers can be seen strolling down Howard Avenue wandering in and out of the upscale stores that line the street.  Many of them have made purchases, too.  It looks like the UrbIan Village is going to be a huge success.

Pre-qualification Interview

We had a seminar via 'video' from Tom Hopkins, a recognized guru for successful sales techniques. It was very informative and I took away many new ideas which will help me be more effective in converting clients to buyers.

One I wanted to share with you is the acronymn NEADS.  It is very helpful in organizing your interview to determine if the potential clients are serious. 

N - What are they in Now?
E - What do they Enjoy about their place?
A - What would they Alter (Change)?
D - Who is the Decision Maker?
S - What Solution can be made?

I start by asking where are you living now?
What do you enjoy about your current home?
Is there anything you would change about it if you could?
Are you able to make a decision, if we find a property today?
Let's talk about how we can make this happen.

Hope this is helpful...

An extension to an extension to an extension...

In March I wrote a blog expressing my frustration at the fourth extension that the buyer's agent had requested from my seller.  The closing has yet to occur and the 7th extension has been written.

The new extensiopn will expire on May 20th.  Can you imagine?  I think this may be a record among realtors.  Should I contact Ripley's to see if it is a record world wide?  Possibly.

What is truly amazing is that it is a CASH deal!!

Anyway, the saga continues.  You may see another blog on this one if it doesn't close on the 20th.  If anyone has any suggestions on how to avoid this in the future, I would greatly appreciate any and all...

My First Referral from Active Rain

I just received my first listing referral from an Active Rainer.  What a great site this is.  I am always amazed when a site like this is born.  Imagine all the connections that exist and how valuable those are to all of us active bloggers. 

Kudos to those innovators who started this site and thank you to all the moderators for making it a continued success...

Market Common Is a Huge Success...

The new urban village, Market Common, located on the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, has been well received by thousands of tourists and visitors during the first few weeks of its opening.  Most of those strolling through the streets are amazed that this 'mini' town has sprung up in such a short time.  The upscales shops, great restaurants, new wave grocery store and 14 screen cinema are appreciated by both the tourists and locals.  The most often heard comment is 'I can't wait to sell my home/condo and move down here - it's awesome.'

The Crabtree Gym is undergoing a major 6 million dollar upgrade which will include an Olympic size pool and state of the art exercise equipment.  It is centrally located in this urban village and easily accessed by the new inhabitants of this community.

If you would like more information on this unique project, including floor plans for the residential and live/work townhomes, go to Market Common Townhomes.

Cozy condo in Garden City, South Carolina For Sale

This is a great condo in Garden City, South Carolina.  I was amazed at how few condos are on the market in Seasider since it is one of the older buildings.  I believe the owners have made this a friendly, welcoming vacation spot that they always look forward to. Hopefully, the new buyer will enjoy this part of the beach as well as the current owners. If you or anyone you know would like more information on this cozy condo, call Linda.
