Good afternoon! Just got done posting the latest market snapshots for Anderson, Oconee and Pickens Counties over at my website. Please check them out:

Anderson County Market Report for the Week Ending 1-20-2012

Other than that, just been doing my normal stuff this morning. Glad that the SC Primary is over so maybe the plethora of the mud slinging political ads will subside. Going to be an interesting year with the upcoming election….

We never got any robocalls but my understanding is it was widespread. Maybe the fact that we never use our home phone helped spare us? I guess that is one good thing about using your cell phone 100% of the time.

Well got to run. Hope you enjoy your Sunday!

Rainy and cold Saturday but at least it is Saturday. Was hoping to get some work done on another website today and finish posting some market reports. And do some more research about which Word Press theme to use for a new blog. Oh and accomplish everything else I do each and everyday in my attempt to conquer the internet…..

One task was talking with a buyer client about the results of the home inspection for the killer deal they are buying. Almost a little jealous of the great home they are buying. I was glad that the inspector didn’t find anything too major. But they picked the inspector that I knew would go through the home and find every little defect.

Which is what a buyer wants from a home inspector. I would rather have an inspector kill a deal because he finds something than to have a client buy a home with problems that are not easily seen…..

Of course, if the seller had paid for an inspection before putting the home on the market….

Anyway, I got to run. Please be sure to check out my normal Saturday update on mortgage rates. You can read it out at

Well Friday has arrived at long last! Been a busy week and need to work on getting some estimates for a client over the weekend. Not real excited about that……

have been researching several options and almost decided on the method I will use to build an new website. Always have to be thinking about improving or you will get left behind in business.

Something that I try to stay on top of is the latest news in real estate. Plus it gives me something to write about while sharing my insight into real estate and how it affects buyers or sellers.

Like today, I posted an article about mortgage delinquencies, housing starts, builder confidence, and CoreLogic’s latest real estate report. All of these topics will affect buyers and sellers in one way or another. So please check out:
