For the first time in many years there is a serious lack of homes for sale in Greenwood  and homes for sale on Lake Greenwood, SC! That's great news for sellers; however not such great news for the buyers we already have waiting for their "dream home" to become available. Once that one specific dream home becomes available there are numerous buyers waiting for it.Some of your questions might be: what's the best way to make sure I'm aware of it? How do I make the strongets offer possible OTHER than making the highest offer? I know I'm willing and able but what should I do to make sure I'm READY when I see my dream home? Make sure you're using a website OTHER THAN A 3RD PARTY SITE! Examples of "3rd party sites" are zillow, trulia, realtor.com, homes.com, lakehouse.com etc. These sites are...

Get a jump start on growing food and flowers this spring with raised garden beds.   Most of us are cutting back making the dollar stretch as far as we can.

This video provided by the NAR lays out the guidelines clearly and in plain speak. If you are a real estate agent, home owner, or a buyer, short sales are looking promising for all parties concerned.

Greenwood SC Realtor Says "Moving May Not Mean The Same Thing To Everyone" Are you nearing retirement? Do you have a concrete plan as to how you will live? Where you will live? Many people have all of this worked out at least in their minds but there are also many who live in the day and haven't put much thought into their tomorrows. In the volatile economy we live in it is not wise to take the future for granted. We saw many people who had made their plans, saved and invested in their tomorrow left dumbfounded as they lost it all or most of it all. We are living in a time when nothing is secure. It's time to execute a plan with a safety net. A way to make sure your money lasts for a lifetime. You have to work within the confines of your budget now and then. 1. Get rid of all your debt ...

Imagine this, I walk up to house for a listing appointment and before I get in the door I am greeted by at least 3 years worth of newspapers stacked by the front door, several tables, and a old washer and dryer etc OK I think maybe they are going to take all of this to the dump or a donation bin. I look for a door bell and find it behind a bookcase which looks like it has been there for awhile thining to myself if this is the outside what can the inside look like, but still willing to give this a shot. I've turned some pretty hopeless looking homes into a sale with the right marketing,some trash out services and a good cleaning. A man opens the door and seems to have a problem getting the door open wide enough to stick his head into a crack and says are you the real estate lady? I say y...

Greenwood SC Has A vision For The Future and a Dedication To Preserve It's Past   In 2007 Greenwood put into place a plan to preserve and implement a vision for Greenwood, Ninety Six, and Ware Shoals defining where we hope to be 20 years from now. This area was first inhabited by American Indians and was not settled by Europeans until the 18th century. The town known as Ninety Six was a frontier trading post and was the site for some of the first battles of the American Revolution. Star Fort in Ninety Six was held by the British, several attempts by American forces to capture the fort  failed and they were forced to retreat. The township of Greenwood was formed around the plantation of John McGee who called his plantation Green-Wood and was formed from portions of Edgefield and Abbevill...

  I Remember When there was only one telephone in the house and it was in the hallway on shelf built into the wall and you if you were fortunate you only shared the line with one other party. It was called a two party line. You would have to pick up the phone and listen before you dialed to make sure no one else was already on the line. Sometimes the conversation would be so interesting that you couldn't resist taking a extra minute to listen in. It wasn't right but it happened. I also remember arguing over who was going to change the channel on the black and white tv or stop the picture from rolling or adjusting the horizontal control to keep it from having horizontal lines through the picture. I remember my dad going outside and spinning the antenna to get the best reception,we would ...

Greenwood SC Realtor Tells A Real Fish Tale I write often about life with my dad because life with him was not your run of the mill childhood experiences. It was interesting to say the least. He was a little on the eclectic side. This particular story still makes me smile when I think about it years later.  When he was a young boy my dad took up with some local Indians (I forget what tribe it was) out in Oklahoma and he was practically raised by them, my grandmother said they couldn't keep him at home. He always wanted to be outdoors preferably in the woods or on a lake. He spent most of his time with the Indians where he learned to hunt and fish to eat, not just as a pastime. My family hardly ate anything except what my dad hunted or fished except chicken. It was a real treat to get a ...
