myrtle beach real estate expert: What is a ReBlog? When to use this feature. - 02/07/09 01:16 PM
I have noticed over the past few months that some are not familiar with the reblogging feature of Activerain. Some Activerain blogs are just decorated with reblogs of other member's posts on every type of posts possible.  These posts include everything from recipes, jokes, etc.
So, I figured I would share the reasons why the reblog feature was designed.  This is just my opinion of what it is use for, not an official thing from Activerain.  For more info from Activerain, visit Bob's post here.  Now, here are my thoughts as to what it is used for.

Living in Myrtle Beach, SC we are lucky not to have to deal with a lot of the cold wintry weather that other parts of the country experience for many months each winter.  For example, on Friday, I posted an update on twitter saying, "Its 5pm in the Middle of November & the temperatures is 70 outside!"

In keeping with tradition of sharing some of my most memorable experiences in selling Myrtle Beach Real Estate, today I share one that definitely is one I can never forget.  A couple that we had sold a home to a few years back had contacted us and to sell their home.
What made selling this home unique was that the sellers were getting a divorce.  When we arrived at the home for the listing appointment we noticed that the home had some rather awkward changes made to the home.  Mr. Seller we will call him "Barry" was not a big fan … (29 comments)

Just like many of the many successful bloggers here on Activerain, he writes songs that are simple and to the point.  He uses words and music that many can relate to. Also, he is not afraid to share with others how to play his … (3 comments)

myrtle beach real estate expert: What is Earnest Money, and how much do I need? - 09/05/08 10:33 AM
One of the questions that arises on a regular basis has to do with earnest money.  First, what is earnest money? Wikipedia gives a wonderful definition of the term here.  Basically, it is the deposit made towards the purchase of real estate and is part of your down payment.  In South Carolina, this money is held in a trust account of a real estate company.  It cannot be used by the real estate company for any other purpose. 
So, here is the big question that normally comes up in regards to earnest money..."How much should I give for earnest money?"  Whenever … (5 comments)
