Are You The Experiment? I had a real nice couple with me yesterday I was showing who are relocating to the area. They had picked out about 6 homes to see and one of the neighborhoods I just couldn’t place. It was our last showing and as we were driving up I immediately remembered it. …
Let’s Time The Market Timing the real estate market is just as difficult as timing the stock market. Unlike stocks, real estate is local. Folks, I can’t say enough about this. Here in Greenville we get a little bit tired of the doom and gloom from the national media about real estate as a whole. …
South Carolina Seller’s Disclosure Good morning. Thought I’d write a bit about the South Carolina Residential Property Condition Disclosure Report. Beginning in January of 2003, South Carolina required owners of residential real estate to provide the purchaser a SDS (Seller’s Disclosure Statement). There are four pages to the form with the first page being an …
Don’t write contingent on Sale Offers! I rarely write an offer on a home if my buyers have a home to sell and their home is not under contract. Don’t do it. That kind of situation puts you the buyer in the worst negotiating position. Why? If the seller is not sure if the contract …

Greenville, South Carolina Area MLS Zones Thought I’d write about the Greenville Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for a bit. I am inserting a map of the areas that the Greenville MLS covers. The Greenville MLS is broken up into numbered areas. What you see above is pretty much what you get. For instance if I’m …
What is Collateral Business? Collateral business is any buyer who calls a listing agent about one of their listings and gets “converted” into a prospect. It happens even more now because many of the listings you call on that you have found in an internet search that appear for sale are actually under contract. (That’s …
Comparing Recent Sold Home Data Got a perfect example of why you want to have a buyers agent on your side. A couple of days ago I preview a property for a buyer who is out of the area. Went out, took some pictures, walked the land. This was an older property with some acreage …
Does Your Buyer’s Agent Know The Area? Why it’s important to use a buyer’s agent who works many different areas.
