If your neighborhood could talk what would it say? Would it be able to help sell itself? Speaking with a new first time home buyer I wanted to pick their brain and find out what experiences they had when searching for a home and what sorts of things would have made their experience better. One thing stood out.  They wished they could see more of the house and the type of neighborhood it was in.  The buyer explained how much time was wasted viewing houses when they knew the house was not going to fit as soon as they drove into the neighborhood.  Perhaps the neighborhood didn't have sidewalks, the neighbors yard was less than stellar, or houses were just too close together.  So many reasons, and or features that the buyer had in their mind many of neighborhoods they viewed just didn't ha... 06/01/2014

Realtors® often ask me how to better market themselves in their community.   Blogging about real estate and sharing relevant information with the public is a great way to start building trust with the public.  Building trust (over time) turns casual blog readers into fans, and fans can become clients and great referral sources.   But getting involved by volunteering your time to your community really takes it up a notch.  Important note:  You DON’T do it with the intent, “I’m gonna get more business”.  You DON’T go out there merely for the purpose of handing out business cards and spewing your message.  You DO it because you WANT to.  Because you want to be there, you want to help people, animals, or a cause.     When you volunteer, you get out there, you meet new people, and you share ... 12/20/2012

It’s almost time to show our patriotism and celebrate the birth of our great nation and there are multiple ways to do so this year in the Fort Mill area with fireworks galore, parades and the quintessential American game, baseball.   Fourth of July Festivities 1.
