spartanburg south carolina realtor: I'll wait until the first of the year to List my Home......Or maybe NOT! - 10/25/09 09:02 AM
We have talked with a number of potential clients who say, "I think we'll wait until after the holidays to put our home on the market".  They continue with, "it's too much hassle over the holidays" or "the market is not very good now and it should be better in the … (4 comments)

spartanburg south carolina realtor: Are your listing clients focused on the Wrong Number? - 10/24/09 03:44 PM
Call it lack of knowledge or just a perception, but most home sellers focus on the wrong number, Selling Price.  The misconception is that they believe the difference in selling price minus real estate fees and mortgage payoff is what they will walk away from the table with.  They don't understand … (2 comments)

We have started an aggressive program of working with Custom Home Builders.  Before we started we interviewed a number of top notch builders in our region to try and find out what type of relationship they had with their Realtors, and more importantly, what type of relationship they wanted to have.

spartanburg south carolina realtor: Off Season? Kick it up! - 10/18/09 06:23 PM
Real Estate is a seasonal business, and many agents take the downtime to spend time with family, take vacations or just relax.  There are fewer buyers and those who want to sell their home, but don't have a time frame, will wait until after the holidays to put their home on … (1 comments)

spartanburg south carolina realtor: What's more important when selling your home? - 09/27/09 09:38 PM
Price, condition and location are all important when selling your home but how about "Days on Market"?  Most motivated sellers have a need to sell their home and move.  It could be job related or perhaps they need to upsize for their growing family or downsize because their children have moved … (7 comments)

spartanburg south carolina realtor: Remodeling or Updating? Consult Your Professional Realtor? - 09/27/09 09:35 PM
Every day we see homes that have been remodeled or updated.  Many are done very well while others missed the mark.  In a market where the average selling price is in the $140,000's it's easy to miss the mark.  If you watch HGTV you'll see people tearing out walls, updating kitchens … (6 comments)

spartanburg south carolina realtor: Market Statistics do not support lower sales numbers. - 09/27/09 09:14 PM
The Appointment Center, used by many agents to arrange appointments for showings, has released statistics for showing appointments the past three years.  Although there has been a slight reduction in showings, projected to be 2% from 2007, sales are down about 20%.
We believe there are fewer buyers who are qualified … (0 comments)

spartanburg south carolina realtor: When should you "Reposition" your listings? - 09/27/09 04:46 PM
It's hard to go into a listing presentation and tell your potential clients that the price they believe they can get for their home is unrealistic in today's market.  You get your clients to agree to a little lower price but they are still chasing the market, not ahead of the … (4 comments)

spartanburg south carolina realtor: How do you determine who the BEST Realtor is? - 09/27/09 04:37 PM
Sure, years in the business is important; as is education, training and designations.  Is dollar production more important than the number of transaction sides?  "I'm a MILLION DOLLAR PRODUCER!" is over used.  If you are not a million dollar producer you are not going to have a full time career in … (2 comments)

spartanburg south carolina realtor: It's a GREAT TIME to BUY! - Or is it??? - 09/13/09 09:59 PM
Affordability is fabulous with low interest rates and lots of homes to choose from.  For first time home buyers the $8,000 tax credit is a great incentive.  What if you need to sell your home first?  Many buyers have a home to sell before they can move up.  They are reluctant … (9 comments)

spartanburg south carolina realtor: Why has my home not sold? - 09/13/09 09:50 PM
With fewer home buyers, the days on market has increased as has the absorption rate.  It's taking much longer to sell homes on the market than it did 4 years ago or even last year.  This doesn't mean your home will not sell or that you'll have to make drastic price … (5 comments)

spartanburg south carolina realtor: Downsizing - - Is It Right For You?? - 09/06/09 05:35 PM
Downsizing a home can be a big savings often overlooked by those thinking about retiring. The cost of taxes, insurance, heating and other utilities keeps going up and if you have empty rooms, more yard work than you can handle, and other expenses piling up, it is only natural to think about … (1 comments)

spartanburg south carolina realtor: Do you ask your client about Special Financing? - 09/06/09 08:56 AM
Perhaps you Should!   There are a bucket full of home buyers who have good jobs, but find it difficult to get a Mortgage.  Perhaps a past Bankruptcy, excessive credit card debt, a bad divorce and so forth.  Many are good people who have the ability to purchase a home but just … (2 comments)
