The 'Staycation' in Myrtle Beach

2008-07-23T10:43:37Z

A new campaign has been unveiled in our city, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Advertisers and the Sun News are creating a scenario where you would stay home and take advantage of all the amenities that this great vacation spot has to offer - a STAYCATION.

Many times, those who live in a prime vacation destination have not taken the time to explore their own communities to truly know what their city has to offer. (I am guilty as charged. The new Hard Rock Theme Park is less than 3 miles from my home and I have not been there yet.)

One of the ads in the Sun News Sunday paper stated: "From fabulous accommodations to shopping and dining to entertainment, The Market Common is your ideal destination for the perfect Myrtle Beach Staycation" especially since it is only 1.5 miles to the beach. I think that is genious marketing.

At a time when the price of gas continues to go up making funding a vacation more difficult, this is a great alternative. Check out what is available in your own area - it may turn out to be one of the best vacations you have ever had...! Happy Staycationing.

I Need a New Plan to Qualify Internet Leads...

2008-07-18T11:20:04Z

I finally got a 'hit' on my website. Wow, was I excited - it actually works. Anyway this lady's name was Rhonda and she was interested in purchasing real estate in the Myrtle Beach area. She also said that she would be visiting on July 14th - 21th. Immediately, I responded and put her on a 'drip campaign' that matched her criteria.

She called on the 16th to say that her and her husband would like to look at property on Thursday from 2:30 for a few hours. This was looking more and more like a solid lead and a potential buyer.

Since time was limited, I sent out a blast email to all my Century 21 fellow agents to see if they had anything matching her criteria that I could see on short notice. Many took the time to respond and the properties they sent fit perfectly.

On Thursday morning, I got in my car and previewed 7 properties, which took a little over an hour and a half. I eliminated one but the others were definite shows. I was so proud of myself for being so prepared on such a short notice.

I went home and had lunch at noon. At 1:30 I get a call from my potential buyer: 'My husband and I changed our mind and really aren't interested in looking at property here. Thanks for your help...'

AGGHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This profession is definitely a challenge.

Any suggestions on how to qualify 'internet leads' in a more effective way? Your help would be greatly appreciated...

Myrtle Beach Area Market is Still Correcting

2008-07-18T10:02:41Z

Our market here in South Carolina is continuing to experience a downward trend. Condo sales are off 34% since the beginning of the year. The sales for single family homes also experienced a drop - off 27%. The homes that are selling are usually listed below $350,000. Unfortunately, the majority of homes are listed above this price.

The good news is that our saturated market is beginning to be depleted which will help turn this trend around. Fewer builder permits were issued this year as compared to the first part of the year. Some of our inventory has been sold and some has just been taken off the market by disappointed sellers. Once the supply becomes less than the demand the correction will be over...yea!

Myrtle Beach is Hanging in There...

2008-07-10T09:31:17Z

It is hard to believe that we are in the middle of our prime selling season in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Every day, I expect activity to pick up and become the frantic selling pace of 2005. Even though it hasn't happened yet, I remain optimistic.

Two major attractions opened here in April this year, helping to stimulate this economy and bringing thousands of additional tourists to our area. The $400 million dollar investment in the Hard Rock Theme Park and Market Common (an urban retail/living pedestrian village) is having a positive impact on the local economy. Fortunately, some of this is spilling over to sales of investment and second home property.

The real estate industry expects to have a full recovery by late fall and early spring of 2009. Many analysts have indicated the baby boomers want to move near a body of water with warm temperatures most of the year. Myrtle Beach is their location.

The Grand Strand has 60 miles of ocean front, an average of 260 sunny days, and an abundant number of golf courses, restaurants and entertainment venues. It is not surprising to me that this area is among the top relocation areas in the country.

The Upside of $4 a Gallon for Gas

2008-07-08T15:12:26Z

Our developer brought us an interesting article to read this morning at our weekly project meeting. The premise of the article was that sometimes we focus on the negative when change occurs. The article presented some positives that may come out of the current escalation of gas prices.

Here are some of the good things that may occur as gas prices continue to rise:

-Shorter work days with many companies already changing to a 4 day week

-Less obesity with more Americans opting to bike or walk whenever they can

-Less traffic on the roads resulting in less fuel emissions and less pollution

-Fewer traffic deaths since there are fewer people travelling

-Police bike and foot patrols are up to save on the cost of fuel

and finally

-Real estate agents are finding more buyers who want to locate close to their jobs and to cities that have good alternative transportation

The Market Common in Myrtle Beach is a pedestrian friendly community that will certainly benefit from this last realization...

You Want a Co-Broke and You Want Me to Be Your Buyer's Agent Too?

2008-06-20T14:55:01Z

Here's a new one. I am working on site for a developer. A realtor came into our office with a customer who had indicated interest in purchasing a home in our community. Once the Customer decided to make an offer she said "Do you co-broke? I am a realtor."

Of course I was surprised and the realtor escorting her was very surprised, needless to say. He was out and she was in. We walked over to our office and the other realtor just quietly left.

We wrote the contract and she put down her deposit. Things did not work out and the contract was cancelled. Some of the things that she had to do by a certain date were not done. When the deadline passed and she could not get the financing the developer called her on 'non-compliance'. She had missed important dates. I had been in contact with her reminding her that she had to meet these deadlines, but she was not able to do so.

She wrote me a nasty email stating that I had given her the worst representation of any realtor. As her buyer agent, I should have done this and this, etc.

I responded that I was not representing her, I was representing the seller. However, I think that calling her and encouraging her to make the deadlines confused her. It is hard to believe, though, that a realtor could confuse the relationship, especially when one of her first concerns was that she get her 'co-broke'. But that is exactly what happened.

This has certainly put me on notice. Next time this happens, I will insist that the agent send a note to me that she is representing herself as the 'buyer agent'...It's always something!

Why Come to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina?

2008-06-08T15:33:08Z

I just got back from a week long vacation in Florida. It was through RCI and the place where we stayed was a Gold Crown Resort. It was nice but there really wasn't much to do except go to the ocean, the pool, or golf. The restaurant choices were scant even though the beach was lined with many, many high rise condos. My husband and I were a bit disappointed.

As I entered Myrtle Beach it struck me about the many differences between these two vacation/second home destinations. Myrtle Beach has over 100 golf courses and over 1000 restaurants as well as several theaters which offer great evening entertainment. We have over 60 miles of coastaline with great sandy beaches and Ocean Boulevard is dotted with unique shops that are fun to stroll through.

We also have 'mini cities', The Boardwalk and Barefoot Landing, which offer unique shopping, rides for the kids, water parks, museums, cinemas, and unique entertainment - i.e Magic Quest one of only two in the United States.

The new Market Common is another unique venue with upscale shopping and great restaurants with Live/Work Townhomes and Carriage Homes reminiscent of the olden days. It is just fun and relaxing to window shop at night and stop off at Gorden Biersch or PF Changs for a late night snack.

The new Hard Rock Theme Park opened up this spring and it is a fun place to be, especially if you like to ride roller coasters - there are several of them! The Zepplin is the most impressive and scariest - only the strong survive. It has a great open air theater and has already brought in some impressive entertainers including Kid Rock and the Eagles.

If you are thinking of a destination for your summer vacation, check out all that Myrtle Beach has to offer. I am sure you will not go home disappointed!

The much anticipated Anthropologie opened its doors this week at the new Market Common. The store is beautiful. The woman's clothing and the house wares offered are truly unique but a bit pricey.

To check out the store online go to www.anthropologie.com.

The developer McCaffrey Interests,Inc, felt that, Anthropologie would be an important retail component of the master-planned, mixed-use development, Market Common.

Market Common Restaurants Serve It Up Right!

2008-05-08T11:05:53Z

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...

Pre-qualification Interview

2008-04-29T10:12:43Z

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...

2008-04-24T15:00:45Z

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...

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...
