Although I have known many agents in my Real Estate career who were both willing to give and receive advice, it is still refreshing to see so many agents help other agents and the public with the question/answer section of Active Rain.  It has been my experience that any assistance you provide re...

My granddaughter's little Toy Fox Terrier (my granddogger) is staying with me this week while the family is on vacation and she may become a permanent household member.  She is a dream pet, does eveything you tell her to do.  Really well trained little doggie.  Unfortunately, she is almost blind ...

This morning on the Today Show, their "real estate specialist" stated she thinks homes should be priced lower than what you think it will sell it for and you will end up with possible multiple offers bidding-up the price.   I don't see that working well in our area (Greater Greenville, SC Area) a...

Last weekend I met one of my sons and his family and my granddaughter who was having her Prom photos taken in the Ampitheater near the bridge over the Reedy River.  Afterward, we walked to a place to eat near the Fluor Baseball Staium.  It is amazing how this area has developed since the suspensi...

An article in today's Greenville News provides federal data on Employment Growth for the Top Five and Bottom Five Areas with more than 200,000 in their work forces.  Greenville is number 4, below Raleigh, Houston & Austin and above Huntsville.  In order to "do no harm" I will not mention the bott...

April has begun what we hope is a long-term improvement in our home sales.  The Greater Greenville Real Estate Market has not suffered nearly as much as other places, but some slowing has happened.  However, true to form, buyers thoughts in this warmer weather turn to buying that home they have b...

Several times this year when showing homes, I have run into the issue of odors intended to be complimentary to the odor inside the home, when it actually was so strong you could hardly stay in the rooms long enough to view them.   Apparently, when those plug-in type odor eliminators are plugged i...

When I first drove into down town Greenville many years ago, I distinctly remember thinking "so this is why they call it Greenville", as trees were everywhere.  The more I saw of Greenville and the surrounding area, the more I liked it.  We have grown significantly over those years, with the down...
