You can Jott as easy as you Twitt!

2008-05-15T15:23:51Z

Ever been out and about somewhere and you remember something you need to remind someone of? Or maybe you just wanted to give yourself a reminder. Example:

You are at a daughters softball game and remember, "I forgot to email my client Jason a my listing at Long Bay Resort!" You check your pocket trying to find a piece of paper to jott a note to yourself on. Then you have to ask four of the other families around you for a pen to write the note. Meanwhile, you and the other families you have disturbed from the game have just missed your precious little girl hitting a home run.

Jott it a free service that works directly with your cell phone eliminates all of this. All you have to do is make a free account, enter the numbers and email addresses of those you may want to Jott. Then, when you are at the house and want your spouse to pick up a gallon of milk at the store but don't want to disturb their meeting, you simply call jott, say your spouses name and then say what you want the message to be. The system automatically translates your statement into an email form and sends the message to them with the voice attachment. You can also set reminder alerts that are sent to your cell phone. The best part about Jott is that it is completely free to use and takes only minutes to activate and start using. Below is a great demonstration of how to Jott.

One little tip: Once you have the account set up, set the number for Jott to your 1 touch dialing on your phone for quicker & easier access.

Recovering from a Disaster

2008-05-13T15:22:43Z

I found a great product today to help protect your home in case of disaster. As hurricane season quickly approaches, this free product may be very useful for many coastal areas. Also, this product can help in case of a tornado, fire, flood, or any other natural disaster.

In order to file a claim and recover losses most insurance companies require proof of the condition of your home and personal property before the disaster took place. Many times the only acceptable proof is photographs of your home. That is where Insurance Vault comes in. This is a free application that is simple to use.

Simply make a username and password to start. They will email you an activation link. Once you activate your account, you fill out the easy profile of your home and are ready to start taking photos and uploading them to their site. Insurance Vault will keep an online file for you that can be accessed from any computer.

If a distaster strikes your home, just log on and print out a PDF file of all your cherished & valuable items in your home for your insurance company.

If you are looking to either buy or sell real estate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina or anywhere else in the world, we can help!

Happy Mothers Day...Well almost

2008-05-10T15:21:41Z

As many of you know, my wife and I are expecting our first child any day. I have received several wonderful emails asking if Isabelle was born yet or not. Currently, my wife has dilated 4 cm but she has been like that for almost 3 weeks. Her actual due date is Monday May 12th. I was hoping she would come before tomorrow so that my wife can truly enjoy being a Mother on Mother's day. Unfortunately, I don't know if that will happen, but even is she doesn't come, I still will think of her as a wonderful mother already.

Since becoming pregnant, my wife has been so dedicated to the pregnancy. She has completely cut out drinking caffeine & sugar, eats a healthy diet for both her & the baby, and excersises daily. The doctor says she is the perfect pregnant woman. I believe so also.

So I write this to say Happy Mother's Day to my wife Katherine. You are a beautiful pregnant woman, and a wonderful mother already!

Forecast: Constant Thunder till May 18th

2008-05-10T14:24:52Z

o, the weather forecast has not said that it will rain for the next 9 days in Myrtle Beach. The thunder I refer to is the continuous rumbling of thousands of Motorcycles across the area as bikers have traveled from around the country to Myrtle Beach, SC for the annual Bikers at the Beach.

Reports estimate hundres of thousands of bikers to be in the area this year for the event. To give everyone an idea what it is like, here are a few pictures taken at the intersection of my office just a few moments ago:

To get the full effect, I made a short video so you can hear the rumble!

If you are planning on attending this years event, thereis a great event map online here.

Change is Good!

2008-05-08T14:55:13Z

Yesterday my Color LaserJet Printer that I have had for a few years gave me a typical warning message that the drum cartridge was needing to be replaced. So, I made my regular voyage to Officemax to pick up a new one. Well upon arrival, I spoke with a very kind gentleman that informed me that they were discontinued. My heart immediately sank. When purchasing this printer about 5 years ago, it was right around $2,100. Each cartridge ran around $120.00 each. The worst part of the discontinue was that I had recently purchased new blue, red, & yellow cartridges.

Since I purchased those from Officemax the gentleman said I could return them for store credit. So, I feverishly came to my office, picked them all up and returned them for store credit of $385.00!!! Since I no longer had a color printer, I was dreading having to shell out another 2K for a new one. I asked the salesman what was available and he pointed to the HP 2600 series. They had their last two on clearance for $200.00. So, I got a brand new printer with newer & better technology with my gift card and still had plenty left to buy toner cartridges.

I used to brag at how my old color LaserJet printed such wonderful copies. The fact that it would make 3 color copies a minute was something I found impressive and loved to brag about as well. The old printer was so large and weighed so much(150+lbs), it would take multiple people to carry. To remove the old printer from my office, I had to disassemble it. To the right was the last picture taken of my old color laser printer. All of the parts filled up the entire back of my vehicle.

The new printer has many advantages over the old one. First, it prints much faster at 8PPM color. Secondly, it is much lighter in weight. The new design is also much more sleek in appearance. The size is almost half that of the old one. I used to have to use 2 filing cabinets pushed together to sit the old printer on because it was too large to sit on my desk. The cartridges are also much less in money and have a much higher yield (2,000 pages per cartridge) The old cartridges yield was half. Instead of each cartridges costing $120.00 each they are only $82.99 for each of the new ones.

Unfortunately, many agents look at real estate the same way I looked at my old printer. I did not want to change printers. It was working wonderfully for me, cost a lot of money, and I was comfortable in using it.

The Blanton Team however are not REALTORS afraid of change. Dennis & Jeremy keep current on changes in the local & national market. They are constantly looking for new ways to increase their business and keep up to date with current market trends.

Recent studies show that 85% of all buyers & sellers search the internet first before contacting an agent. That is why The Blanton Team can be found on over 20 different websites. Another recent trend is that clients want to get to know agents first through blogs. The Blanton Team have met that need by being a participating member of one of the largest real estate networks in the world, Activerain.

So if you are looking to either buy or sell real estate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina or anywhere else in the world, we can help!

Activerain & Localism do it again!!!

2008-05-06T09:40:29Z

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by an account manager for NewHomeSource.com and asked if I would like to be featured as a writer for their site. The gentleman shared that he has been reading several of my posts Activerain & Localism and really enjoyed the fact that I write more than just posting listings.

They are a national website that features national homebuilders like Beazer, Centex, & Ryland Homes and now they feature articles from ME!

Yesterday, they posted my first article live. It is titled: Customizing Your New Home. They have asked me to become a featured writer for Myrtle Beach and wish for me to give them an article on a monthly basis.

I am honored that they chose me to write for them and am so excited to see how this will help grow my business even more! If it wouldn't be for my blog here on Activerain, they would have never found me.

So once again, THANKS ACTIVERAIN!!!

To upgrade or not to upgrade...That is the question

2008-04-28T15:27:04Z

new home upgrades New home communities across the Myrtle Beach area have continued to become more customizable with their homes over the past few years. Many of Myrtle Beach's top builders even now have "design centers" where you can visit and make your selections while viewing the different samples. You now customize almost any aspect of your new home. It is important though that when making these choices that you do not let things get out of hand.

When building a new home you have a budget in mind before hand. As you enter the design center to select options & upgrades, that budget sometimes goes out the window. I refer to the visit to the design center as "a kid in the candy shop" mentality. Everything looks wonderful and you want one of each. However, you can easily more than double the price of your home with upgrades and also destroy your budget. Recently, while working with a buyer, she had over $150,000 in upgrades & additions onto the home. She was easily making her new home the "king of the hill" in the neighborhood. However in her situation, she did not care. She is planning on living there for many years and wanted what she wanted. Also, her budget was much higher than what was actually spent on the home.

Below are the top 5 things I would suggest upgrading when building a new home in Myrtle Beach. This list comes from dealing with hundreds of buyers locally and listening to their wants & desires when purchasing a new home.

Upgrade the range hood to a microwave. When buying a home, most people want a microwave in their home. Normally this is only around $300.00 for a basic upgrade. If not, you will need to purchase one for the counter in which you spend more money, and lose counter space! Or, if you decide to do it later, you have a useless range hood that will inevitably end up collecting dust in the garage, or for sale at a neighborhood yard sale.

Upgrade the range from coil top to smooth top. The cleaning of the coil tops are difficult and make a mess. You have to buy new drip pans almost annually because the old ones have become so discolored and dirty. With a smooth top range, you can buy Ceramabryte and keep your range top looking like new all the time.

Upgrade your carpet padding & actual carpet. I always suggest paying the little bit extra for the highest grade padding available. Also, I recommend upgrading your carpet at least one level. The reason for upgrading the padding is that by doing so it will help the life of your carpet. Also, it will make it easier on your feet while walking around your home. The reason for upgrading the actual carpet is to increase its life. Also, normally the higher grade carpet have less amounts of carpet fibers being released. When I purchased my most recent home, I was not given the option of upgrading the carpet and every time I vacuum my home, I fill my Dyson vacuum with carpet fibers at least twice.

Upgrade the paint on whole house. If you do not like plain white walls and want continuity in your paint in your home, then pay for the whole house paint upgrade up front. Normally the cost of upgrade is only a few hundred dollars instead of paying a painter afterwards a few thousand dollars to have it done. Most builders will only allow you to pick one color for the whole home, so if you wish to have a lot of customization in your paint colors in every room, then this may not be for you.

Upgrade the front exterior of your home. Curb appeal is one of the most important things about a home. Most builders allow you to customize the curb appeal of your home by choosing a brick or stucco front. This is something that will make your home stand out from the other same models of your home in a community.

Be on the lookout for future updates where I will discuss options to avoid. These will be the upgrades that either cost more than they are worth, or will never bring back the return that you invest for them.

Ok I give in

2008-04-21T15:59:41Z

Ok, so I just finished writing this wonderful post about one of the communities here in Myrtle Beach. As I was finishing, I put in my pretty pictures, had the shiny graphics, bolded my keywords, and linked till no end. Then I went and hit Post...

I feverishly hit the back button trying to find my newest masterpiece. Only to receive nothing. So, I decided I would contact Bob for assistance. His suggestion was this: USE FIREFOX!

So, I have conceded Bob and will only use Firefox from now on to do my postings! That wasy if I get that error I can just hit the back button and go from there.

As for my latest masterpiece, it will have to wait till another day. I am to annoyed with myself for not making a copy before posting!
