What is Great About Living in Rock Hill, SC - 04/29/09 10:10 PM
People ask us all the time about what we enjoy the most from living in Rock Hill, SC.  Well, the list is long, but one of the benefits is living near a big city such as Charlotte, NC while still living in area with a small home town feel.  Today we actually enjoyed one of the perks of living near  big city and that was the Quail Hollow Championship Golf Tournament.  What a way to spend a Wednesday.  There were thirteen of the top fifteen golfers in the world participating in this tournament and today was the always incredible Pro/Am Tournament.  … (1 comments)

Buying a Short Sale or Foreclosure ...........what avenue is best for you - 04/22/09 02:06 PM
There seems to be a lot of confusion among consumers these days when they are trying to understand short sales and foreclosures. Many consumers think these are the same things with the same results.  This is not true.  A sale of a house in which the proceeds fall short of what the owner still owe on the mortgage is a short sale.   Many lenders will agree to accept the proceeds of a short sale and forgive the rest of what is owed on the mortgage when the owner cannot make the mortgage payments. By accepting a short sale, the lender can avoid … (0 comments)

Sellers Be Ready - 04/18/09 10:17 PM
Getting your house ready to list on the market can be a stressful time, but the really stressful time occurs when they house is actually on the market.  Sellers need to be ready at all times for a potential buyer to call wanting to set up an appointment.  This means keeping the house picked up at all times and being willing to leave on a moments notice so real estate agents can bring buyers in.  Many times appointments will be made last minute because while driving buyers may notice a house for sale that was not on their list and they … (1 comments)

Dont be afraid to ask your realtor these questions about selling your home - 04/17/09 07:01 AM

Are you a full-time professional real estate agent? How long have you worked full time in real estate? How long have you been representing buyers? What professional designations do you have?Knowing whether or not your agent practices full time can help you determine potential scheduling conflicts and his or her commitment to your transaction. As with any profession, the number of years a person has been in the business does not necessarily reflect the level of service you can expect, but it is a good starting point for your discussion. The same issue can apply to professional designations. Do you … (0 comments)

Be smart on your pricing and still make a profit in todays market - 04/16/09 09:27 PM
The asking price you set for your home significantly affects whether you will profit in the sale, how much you will profit and how long your home will sit on the market. Your real estate agent's knowledge of the overall market and what's selling - or not selling - will be invaluable in helping you determine the price. The objective is to find a price that the market will bear but won't leave money on the table.
Here are some points to consider: Time. Time is not on your side when it comes to real estate. Although many factors influence the … (1 comments)

Sellers need to pay particular attention this time of year when it comes to the outside appearance of their home if trying to sell.  Many prospective buyers will drive by and if there is no curb appeal these potential buyers will be less likely to make an appointment to come in and look at the rest of the home.  There are some simple tips that will add great value and bring potential buyers inside.

Realistic Expectations - 04/06/09 10:06 PM
It is definitely a buyer's market, but if you don't have realistic expectations as either a buyer or a seller this can be a disappointing time.  Due to the current state of the economy homes are not selling for as a high a price as they may have a couple of years ago.  Having said that, if you are selling and buying you need to remember that even though the house may not sell for the price you are hoping you can recoup on the buyer side of the transaction and end up purchasing more house than possible a couple of … (2 comments)
