The older i get, the more it takes to impress me. That being said, I've recently been working behind the seens on a piece of technology that is just amazing. I'm impressed... I think you will too! Check out the South Carolina Homes website. I personally have know and keep in regular contact with the masterminds behind the front end. Amazing people, time saving technology, and more importantly... results! I've been doing hands on work with this system and have seen first hand, how to automate the entire process. I have also met many agents who do all this work by hand... the difference? About 30 hours per sale. Makes you really stop and think "What kind of technology do i have driving my business?". Hey, don't kid yourself... stay up to date my friends... or join the list that no one wan... 10/15/2009

After purchasing 3 cash flow properties in Mount Pleasant, I was in the position where I needed to get them rented, and fast. We all know the first years of payments to the bank are mostly interest, so you might as well be using someone else's money rather than burning your own. My agent had introduced me to a property manager who recommended that I furnish the houses before I rent them. She told me the spread between the mortgage and rent would be higher. What she didn't tell me was more... 10/10/2009

In Honor of Jimmy Klavohn  Mt Pleasant SC The son of a good friend and an agent-owner for 17 years with our Johnnie Dodds office in Mt. Pleasant, Jimmy Klavohn, passed away on Monday, Sept. 28, 2009 -- he was 31 years old.   His mother, Susan Klavohn Bryant, is indeed a dear friend, and most loyal supporter of her family including her AgentOwned family.  All of our hearts were broken --- Susan works so hard to take care of her family, her friends and her clients.  To see Susan suffer such a tragedy was most difficult. Jimmy Klavohn served 2 years overseas in the Marine Corps.  He loved to have a good time -- he loved to be on the water more than anyone I know.  He was a Boat Captain offering fishing charters.  Jimmy said that being on the water fishing was the closest thing to heaven th... 10/04/2009

One of the things stagers and agents need to stop talking about is how much staging costs.  in today's market we need to talk about the INVESTMENT of staging.  Staging doesn't cost nearly as much as it provides in saved time on market and higher offers.  Recently a Realtor in the Charleston/Mt. Pleasant market took the CSP Elite Agent course and received her CSP Affiliate Designation.  When I arrived for her first staging consultation for a vacant unit that she personally owned she already knew the benefits staging would provide.  We discussed which rooms we thought would provide the most value in staging and agreed upon a price.  Within the week my team set to staging this lovely condo in Park West.   We agreed that the home should be completely ready for market PRIOR to listing it inc... 09/26/2009

This is very important information about rates and is right on with what to expect going forward.....short translation.....don't think you have the markets figured out.....rates are going to rise, they have too....there is no other place for them to go but up. Rates will start rising soon regardless of what the "experts" are saying. Here are some critical pieces outlining the increase in rates.   Our Government has been very busy over the past few months monetizing our debt. Remember, the deficit is predicted to be, depending on who you talk to, between $1 Trillion to $1.5 Trillion. Yes I said Trillion (12 zero's after the 1). The auction results tells bond traders exactly what the worlds appetite is purchasing America's debt. Yesterday, it was not too good. This is important to watch c... 09/24/2009

On Tuesday I had something happen to me that hasn't happened in sometime. In order to do the story justice I must start from the beginning. Upon returning from my son's baseball practice which started right at 5:00pm I was helping him get his trash out of my car. I am probably too "Monkish" about trash in my car but we all have our quirks, that one is mine. When I opened the trash can and let go of the trash I realized a second TOO LATE I let go of my Blackberry Bold and down the trash can it went into the most vile water you can imagine. Swamp Water would have been an improvement. What did I do? Well just like anyone else another split second passed while I determined whether I was going to stick my hand in that to retrieve it. I "Manned UP" and after it I went. When I pulled it from t... 09/03/2009
