Ding Dong The Election is done............ It is on the web, newspaper, radio, and water cooler about the economics of our country.  It is a battle of arm chair quarterbacks vs back seat drivers.  Everyone has an opinion.  My thoughts are not what everyone would agree with or some say I need to be an economic adviser to The President.  Example of our times.  As a Realtor a buyer was declined a mortgage on a new home while putting over 60% down payment.  This would be there 2nd home and was out of state, but only mortgaging 40%.  " Things that make you say Hummm".  Now here we are with great credit worthiness person and an economy that is wanting home buyers, and someone that tells them NO.  I was listening to my XM radio and hearing people voice their opinion on what it will take to fix...

Are you aware of what the government is doing to help people buy homes?  They are giving up to $7,500 Tax Credit to NEW FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS.  This is good news has made its way into the real estate arena this summer -- in the form of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. What does this Act mean for you?   It means a lot if you are in the market to be a first time homebuyer -- up to a $7,500 tax credit if you purchase before July 1, 2009. And there's more good news. First time homebuyers is defined as, "a buyer who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase." What this does is helps people that are trying to achieve the American Dream.  PER DOCUMENTS FOUND ON THE WEB: In order to receive the tax credit you must have purchased your h...

  Stoney Creek is one of my favorites. It has a short drive from the bustle of Lexington to its out of the way location near Lake Murray. The homes are all unique as all were custom built by some of the most recognized builders in our area. I have a few friends that live in here and they absolutely love it. The children are free to roam all over the community and the Lexington One schools are second to none. Prices range in the 279,000 to 400,000 and the homes are from 2200 Square feet to some as large as 3000 Sq FT. All have upgraded and nice features. Its a great place to raise a family. There are currently 10 homes on the market. Most are new construction and the builders are offering HUGE incentives. Contact me on the details. Directions: Hwy 378 to Right on Wise Ferry then cross ov...

Lexington SC Wildcats! .........GO Wildcats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The new 5 Million Dollar stadium finally located on the Lexington High Schools grounds started off with a bang! A beautiful summer evening with cool temperatures. A fun-filled pregame party with a little tailgating action. Statewide television coverage for my beloved Wildcats. And on the first play in the stadium's history, a Wildcat player christened the field by returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown on the way to a resounding victory against a neighboring rival of Batesburg-Leesville. What a way to start the new season and traditions. "What a way to open the new stadium," said athletics director and football coach Allen Sitterle. The Wildcats celebrate in the 33-14 victory against Batesburg-Leesville. I am a littl...

LEMONS and SUGAR This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true. 1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. 2. At least 15 people in this world                                                           love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. 5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 6. You mean the world to someone. 7. You are special and unique. 8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.                                       9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from ...

Do we really shop home builders the same way we do cars or even cell phones?  While showing homes this weekend in Lexington SC I happened to be in a new home community that I had not visited before as it is not located in an area that I generally do most of my business. With a price range of $135,000 to $160,000 I was blown away by what this builder offered as STANDARD on his homes.  FULLY sodded yard Sprinkler system for ENTIRE yard AND on a timer FINISHED garage, not just sheetrock, but fully painted and with MOLDING Trim around ALL windows Brick and stone accents Brick Foundation                                                                      Smooth ceilings   Comparable neighborhood   Sod front yard only No sprinkler system, don't even offer it, your own your own Garage is only...
