| Missing Posts and New Websites |
I am very disappointed in Blogger these days. I logged into my account several weeks ago to find that everything I had posted here was gone, back to June of 2012. I've tried to get help with no response, so I guess I'll just have to ignore it and go on. I don't remember any of what I've written since then, so I guess I'll just post some news and updates.
Greg purchased the Century 21 agency in Barefoot Resort, and we completely overhauled their website for Barefoot Resort Homes. Real estate has really picked up just about everywhere and is going full tilt in Myrtle Beach, by the way. Home prices are rising, sales are rising, more people are getting sales licenses. More customers are coming to me. I've just begun to do two new California agency sites...more on that when they're done. Things are definitely looking up for the whole industry, and it's about time!
Hopefully no more of my blogs will disappear. It makes one sick to work for nothing. :-( |

| North Texas and Charlotte Real Estate Websites |
The last few weeks have been productive, and I've had two new customers and moved an old one to a better IDX website that should make a huge difference in his leads and sales.
Jack Ragsdale has been a customer of mine for around 6 years since way before the time that there were affordable and user friendly IDX websites. Jack lives in a part of Texas that is made up of many small towns instead of one big one, and we've struggled to find a way for him to have a well ranked website that covered his entire area of Denton, Keller, Flower Mound, and several other towns in Texas. After some research, we decided to make the new website aim at North Texas Real Estate instead of having several small sites for each town. After I finished, he's hired someone to help him with blogs and such, and they've changed a lot of stuff around. So whatever happens, it's no longer on me!
My next site is for a lady Realtor selling south Charlotte homes, by the name of Nana Tennhardt. Her husband Olaf is very much helping with her online presence and they are really working hard to show off her expertise in the Charlotte, Waxhaw, and Weddington areas.
As it seems like most all of my customers are the best at their profession, I'm sure these new IDX websites are going to bring them so many sales they will wonder how they ever did without it. And the key is CONTENT. Writing about your city, going out and taking great photos, creating YouTube videos to showcase your neighborhoods - all of this works with the new social media to make the search engines love what you do. The harder you work on your site, the better the reward, and I'm proud of all my clients that "get it" and create such exceptional resources for their customers. Congrats to Jack and to Nana on their new sites!

| The Woodlands, Texas – There's a Place Here For You |
Here's another article from our friend Jarrod Frenzel in the Woodlands, Texas. We're always happy to hear from him and learn about his neck of the woods!
The Woodlands, TX - There's a Place Here for You!
Dubbed as the bestselling and most popular master-planned community in all of Texas for over 15 years, The Woodlands offers a truly optimized life experience for all residents. It's also one of the few areas in the country that is NOT purely a buyer's market, and we're going to talk about that in a second. But before we get ahead of ourselves, let's talk about why you'd want to live in The Woodlands...
First, it's a stunning community. Just flat-out, no two ways about it, a drop dead beautiful area. The goal of any master-planned community is to give each resident exactly what they need to live their perfect lifestyle. This means that the development was planned to accommodate couples, families with children of all ages, retirees, single adults and seasonal vacationers.
Price-wise, there is housing available for any budget and any lifestyle; seek and ye shall find...The Woodlands' slogan is “Come Home”, and that pretty well expresses their overall attitude and atmosphere. Of course, being built into a 28,000 acre natural forest, to say it's an outdoors-oriented community would be an understatement. This not-so-little slice of nature is about 30 minutes outside of Downtown Houston and was built to be YOUR dream home, no matter what that may be. The Woodlands offers a unique choice to the Houston real estate market.
There are apartments, single story houses, villas, and more available throughout the 11 different villages inside The Woodlands...You just have to find out where you'll fit best and go there. Prices range from $100K all the way up to $5M, although the average is probably something around $300K. Of course, that's not taking apartments into consideration, which are available for those not inclined to property ownership. The Woodlands real estate has something in every price range.
Now, one of the unique aspects of this real estate market that you have to take into account when browsing listings in The Woodlands is that you're looking at a relatively balanced economy compared to the rest of the United States. Unlike most areas right now, it is NOT necessarily a buyer's market, although it's certainly not a strong seller's market either. Remember that this is the bestselling masterplanned community in Texas since 1992; this little corner of the real estate market has remained active and coordinated throughout the recession that so desolated the rest of the country. Of course, as a buyer this doesn't have to be a bad thing...For anyone seeking low risk property investment, The Woodlands, Texas is a dream come true!
I hope you'll take the time to visit The Woodlands' website and see what the community has to offer. I'm sure you'll find it appealing, and then you can start browsing listings to find a home you can fall in love with.

Thanks, Jarrod! We also have a new website for North Texas real estate. Check it out when you have time!

| How to Sell Myrtle Beach Real Estate |
Greg Harrelson with C21 The Harrelson Group is my most frequent client and friend. I've met an awful lot of real estate agents here in Myrtle Beach. A few I really admire, some for their work ethic, some for their sales talent, some for their knowledge and experience, and one or two for all of these qualities. (The other 95% of them don't impress me at all...some are awful.)
But Greg is a step above agents just about anywhere in the country. He's spent most of his career being coached and coaching. His sales ability is phenomenal. There's no hype - no car salesman feel when you are talking to him. If anything, you picture him either on Wall Street or teaching in a classroom. He knows everything there is to know about selling real estate, and knows Myrtle Beach in particular. He didn't jump into the beachfront property frenzy and lose his shirt like almost every agent here., nor was he the first to embrace the internet and its miraculous ability to sell homes, especially when search engines are involved. But he gets it now...and like everything else, he's putting his "all" into it, slow and steady, and building another successful empire. My point to all of this is to say that if someone needs to SELL real estate in Myrtle Beach, the Harrelson Group is where they need to go. He has buyers' agents as well...but he also has inventory (about 700 listings) - and the ability to market them.
Every few weeks he puts out a newsletter to his buyers and sellers, sometimes geared to good deals to purchase, and sometimes explaining how he "markets" in a less than perfect "market". The last newsletter was just this, and it was rather fascinating to see and understand how things work in selling property at the beach. We added it to his "Monthly Notes from Greg" on the C21 Website, and he also created a video to make it even more interesting. I liked it so much that I felt personally it deserved some attention. So here we are. If you have some time, and you want to see how a real estate marketing guru goes about his job, check this out and watch the short video on the page. - Marketing Myrtle Beach Real Estate |

| Myrtle Beach Real Estate on the Rise? |
Is Myrtle Beach real estate on the road to recovery?
This seems to be the question of the week for those who own a condo or home in Myrtle Beach. I suppose it is a normal question for any real estate property owner to ask.
Here are a few real estate trends that we see in Myrtle Beach right now.
1. The number of homes for sale in Myrtle Beach is declining.
2. The number of Myrtle Beach condos for sale on the market has decreased.
3. Buyers are writing more contracts...this is normal during this time of year in Myrtle Beach.
4. Buyers are making higher offers and some real estate in Myrtle Beach has sold for more than full price.
5. The average days on market for new listings in the MLS are showing signs of improvement.
It's up to you to interpret what the market is doing in Myrtle Beach. We can all agree that the above trends are much different then they were in the past when the Myrtle Beach market was doing the exact opposite. Most people would conclude that the market may be returning to a normal market. Not much decline, not much incline...likely stable at this level for awhile.
One thing we know for sure is that many owners have an opportunity to get their property sold right now. If I were selling a piece of real estate in Myrtle Beach, I would feel more confident today than any other point of time over the last 6 years.
If you are interested in learning more about how these changes may effect you and your investments, please contact any one of our Myrtle Beach real estate agents. |

| Luxury Real Estate in Houston |
We're happy to have another guest blog from our friend in Woodlands, Texas, Jarrod Frenzel.
Luxury Home in Woodlands, TX
When people think of luxury real estate around the country, Houston is not usually the first thing that comes to mind. The fact is, the Houston area has one of the largest inventory of luxury homes in the country and is steadily growing. With the Texas economy flourishing, the Houston luxury real estate market is alive and well.
Forbes recently determined that Houston is the fastest growing millionaire city in the country, as the number of millionaires grew to almost 97,000 by the end of 2010. The oil and gas industry has helped keep the local economy strong through the national recession and the Houston real estate market has outperformed most others around the United States. The market was very strong in 2011 with a healthy number of sales over the $1 million mark. Builders have even started building multi-million dollar spec homes again in certain submarkets around the Houston area.
Located on the north side of Houston, the master planned community of The Woodlands has seen a lot of growth in luxury home market. People from all over the world are starting to take notice of this affluent area, with many purchasing second homes here. The mild winters, world class amenities, shopping, golf courses, and easy access to the intercontinental airport has made this an ideal place for wealthy individuals from abroad.
The Woodlands real estate has seen steady appreciation over the recent years and poised for some really great years ahead. With Exxon Mobil relocating all of their Houston employees to the area in 2013, residents are very optimistic about the future of their home values.
If you haven’t been to Houston before, now would be a good time to visit. The Woodlands is a great place to take a vacation with plenty of world class shopping and restaurants, golf courses, 4 star hotels and resorts, and much more. For more information about luxury homes in Houston or The Woodlands, you can contact Jarrod Frenzel @ 281-658-7389 or visit his web site at www.woodlandshomelistings.com |

| North Beach Plantation Modifies Community Plans |
North Beach Plantation
Some important changes in the overall plans for the North Beach Plantation community have been announced and approved, according to the Sun News today.
Originally this community was supposed to be set up similar to Market Common, with stores, restaurants, and a good bit of commercial property intermixed with single family homes, townhomes, and the condo towers on the oceanfront.
The developers report that sales have been good on the two single family home communities, and preparations are beginning for a third, with about 35 homes per neighborhood. The new phase will have larger homes in the $450k range, as versus the original cottages which started at $179k and averaged in the $200's.
The original plans for live/work condos have pretty much been scrapped for building regular townhomes, along with some hotel rooms included in a new commercial building for shorter term rentals. Presently they have a "Plantation House" which includes a fine dining restaurant, fitness center, offices, and a spa.
Developers report that 207 of the 337 oceanfront tower condos have been sold and they are expecting a complete sellout in about 2 more years if the market stays good. The townhomes that are presently being built have been selling before the builders can complete the construction, they say, and new plans will also include a group of 2 bedroom spa villas as well as some duplexes.
North Beach Plantation homes represent the most impressive and diversified communities that North Myrtle Beach has ever had. Taking a ride through the development will amaze and excite anyone looking for an extraordinary place to call home or for vacation accommodations. We'll be glad to take you on a tour of this fantastic beachfront fantasy land! Just give us a call. Whether you decide on the North Beach Plantation Tower condos, the new townhomes being planned, or the spa villas, you'll enjoy the excursion!

| Calling Albuquerque Home |
I asked my friend Tim Fish, an Albuquerque Realtor, to tell my why he loved his hometown.
I was recently asked what I felt were the top three reasons to to live in Albuquerque NM, my home city. It was hard to pick three but here they are: 1. Weather
The weather in Albuquerque can be best described as seasonal and mild. Sure, we get some hot days in the summer (sometimes 100+) but we do live in a desert after all. What we don't have during those hot days is humidity. I have relatives in Tennesee, and have been there in July and August...they can keep it. I'll take my dry climate any day of the week.
As far as winters are concerned, they are typically dry and, again, mild. We will get snow a couple times during this season but as soon as you are sick of it, it all will have melted and dried up. We say "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes." I sell homes to people from the northeast who just want a place to stay during the winter because they are done shoveling snow.
2. New Mexican Food!
The cuisine here is great! In my opinion New Mexican food has much more flavor than true Mexican food. Mexican food seems to just bring a lot of heat where as New Mexican food brings flavor along with the heat. Out local green chilis (roasted) seem to be very addicting! Green chili can be found around every corner - even McDonald's, and in bulk at Costco.
Although the green chili is amazing, there is so much more. Tender shredded beef and chicken wrapped in fresh blue corn tortillas, all smothered in creamy sauces and topped with melted cheese, crisp lettuce, and a tomato garnish to go on top.
All this combined will make an amazing meal that will require a long nap afterward. And that was just a description of a typical enchilada plate.
3. The Southwest Landscape
The natural Albuquerque landscape often looks like something right out of a science fiction movie. The Sandia mountains during dusk can often be painted with reds, oranges and purples set against a Caribbean blue canvas. The natural foliage can range from pinion trees and cactus littered throughout a beige, rolling-hilled desert, to densly grown majestic cottonwood trees along the Rio Grande River.
Our landscape lends itself to several outdoor activities. You can be as conventional as you would like, and enjoy walks along the base of the Sandia Mountains; or you can get extreme and jump off the top to hangglide or parasail into the city. It really is an outdoor playground!
So there they are in the opinion of a true born and raised local. There are so many more but you'll just have to visit to find them! If you think you might like to move here, be sure and let me be your Albuquerque real estate expert! |

| Real Estate Websites |
In the last several months I've had the pleasure to meet and learn about two more places through my real estate customers - Greenwood SC Real Estate and Des Moines Iowa Real Estate. One thing about this career I have chosen is that I am learning about places all over the US that I may never see...but by the time I spend a couple of months learning about the towns, the communities, and looking at all of the gorgeous photos these guys take, I feel like I've been there.
Lake Greenwood property is some of the prettiest stuff I've ever looked at. I can almost imagine a time that I could be happy living on a lake and foregoing my beach. Not quite, but it's certainly just about as nice.
I've never been much of a "country" lover, but the scenic farms in Iowa are pretty impressive. I have a very good friend online that lives in Muscatine, Iowa her whole life. The small town country living must be something that gets in your blood...:-)
Anyway, if you want to see some new places, visit these websites and check out the photos... |

| Maui Homes for Sale - Market Update |
Maui Homes for Sale
The West Maui real estate market, part of the larger Valley Island and Hawaii housing markets, saw a disappointing performance in the most recent tracking periods. According to statistics provided by the Realtors Association of Maui and the Honolulu Star Advertiser, there was a larger quantity of sales but a lower median price in December 2010.
The median sales price for single-family homes on Maui was $460,000 in December, marking a decrease of approximately eight percent from $498,106 in December 2009. The median price is even further off the market’s peak, which was achieved in 2006 with a figure of $690,000. Condominiums, on the other hand, saw a substantially larger decline in median price.
Condos declined from $450,000 to $377,500, marking a decrease of about sixteen percent from year-ago levels. The highest point of the condo market was reached in 2007, peaking at $550,000. This lackluster performance generally matched that of the Big Island and Kauai, although it was considerably weaker than the relatively strong Oahu housing market.
There were more home sales on Maui in December 2010 compared to December 2009 – 814 in 2010 compared to 693 in 2009, representing an increase of about seventeen percent. Similarly, there were 1,147 condominium sales on Maui in December 2010, showing a larger increase of about thirty-nine percent from December 2009’s 826.
It is important to note that the West Maui and Maui homes for sale analyzed by the Realtors Association of Maui statistics analyzed both new and pre-owned properties, although Oahu’s numbers dealt with solely previously owned homes.
A January 2011 article by Pacific Business News characterized the cumulative numbers for 2010 as possibly indicative of a nascent recovery, noting the higher sales volume throughout the Neighbor Islands. One local economist noted that the recovery of the Outer Islands is projected to be slower than Oahu, although the “bottom” of the market may be gradually forming on Maui. The overall sluggishness of Maui’s recovery can be at least partially attributed to a continually lackluster job market, as well as the hesitancy of many banks to extend additional lines of credit as they continue to recover from the recession.

| AOL Real Estate Talks Foreclosure Hot Spots |
AOL Real Estate had an interesting article yesterday describing some cities in the US having a surprisingly large number of foreclosures - cities that many people wouldn't think of having a problem with housing woes.
They noted that one out of every nine homes went into foreclosure in Las Vegas last year. ONE OUT OF EVERY NINE...WOW.
As an aside, they also quoted the president of RealtyTrac as saying 2011 would likely set another record for the number of foreclosures. That isn't such good news for anyone.
Some of the places mentioned were in our immediate area and as such are of interest to Myrtle Beach real estate folks. One of these was - guess? Myrtle Beach itself. Yes, we made AOL News, and not in a good way. According to AOL, foreclosures increased 44 percent in 2010, mostly from vacation property. One thing that was said that I do not agree with though...
"But the city's major industry, tourism, was hurt by the recesssion." {in 2010). Now that's the first I've heard of that, particularly in North Myrtle Beach, where several of the condo companies reported a record year last year. They also said we were the nation's ELEVENTH fastest-growing city!
Charlotte NC was another city on the list, predicted to see a 37% increase, and one out of every 50 homes in foreclosure this year.
Spartanburg was said to be the fastest growing region in SC, but also with the fastest growing foreclosure rate. They are predicting a 228% increase, and one out of every 60 homes to go into foreclosure. Nearby Greenville and Lake Greenwood property apparently was less affected by the real estate crash. The Greenwood SC MLS only shows 22 active foreclosures at this writing.
Virginia Beach was mentioned as having had foreclosures to the tune of 31 percent or one in 54 homes last year. They didn't mention predictions for the upcoming months.
New Orleans was said to have one in 57 homes in foreclosure, a 36% increase just this past month, which followed 36% last year and 79% in 2009. They described this southern resort city as being one of the 100 worst cities in the US for foreclosures.
Tulsa made the list, as well as Savannah GA, and followed by a report on the woes of Albuquerque real estate. Albuquerque is said to have had one out of 46 homes go to foreclosure in 2010. This is blamed largely on the loss of construction jobs rather than the usual mortgage fraud and over-enthusiatic investment attempts. Albuquerque foreclosures increased over 60 percent in last year. |

| Why Short Sales Are A Win-Win Situation |
*Guest Writer today!*
Short sales are viewed as a last resort by most homeowners, and often even by realtors. But while they do have their drawbacks, there’s a reason they’re the most popular solution to troubled mortgages these days.
Borrowers have just as much to gain from short sales as lenders and buyers, especially when taking the differences between short sale and foreclosure into account. Read on to learn more about short sale foreclosures and how borrowers can turn it into a win-win situation.
No More Obligation (maybe)
A foreclosure and a Short Sale both involve losing your home, but a short sale can also mean letting go of your mortgage obligations.
In a typical short sale, the lender waives the right to seek the deficiency, or to sue you for the difference between your balance and the selling price. This may not always be the case with either, but between a short sale and a foreclosure, the former often allows you to move on and get back on your feet sooner.
Save Your Credit
While foreclosure and short sales both have negative impacts on your credit, a short sale carries less damage and is easier to recover from. You lose between 250 and 400 points after a foreclosure, while a short sale pulls your score down by just 80 to 250.
The negative effects of a short sale will stay on your credit report for a shorter period - from three to seven years, compared to the standard ten years of a foreclosure. Some lenders will even write it off sooner.
Get More Credit Options
A foreclosure on your record will turn most lenders away, whether you’re applying for a mortgage or a new credit card.
With a short sale, lenders are more understanding, and may even go out of their way to help you so you can rebuild your credit. Banks are aware of the circumstances surrounding short sale foreclosures, and they know that those who lose their homes in a short sale have at least tried every possible way to get back on track.
Avoid Foreclosure
Finally, the biggest and most obvious advantage of a short sale is that it saves you and your lender from the whole foreclosure process.
The main difference between a foreclosure and short sale is that the latter is much more convenient—you’re selling the home as a regular property, instead of going through a public auction. You also get to control the sale better, work with an agent you like, and choose who gets to buy your home.

| Real Estate in The Woodlands Texas |
Today I have a guest post from a Realtor in The Woodlands, Texas - Jarrod Frenzel. It's always interesting to see different areas and learn how they're doing on the other side of the country!
THE WOODLANDS TEXAS
The Woodlands Texas is located approximately 25 miles North of Downtown Houston along Interstate 45. The Woodlands is a master planned community that started development in the late 60's and covers over 28,000 acres of once dense forest. The developer put a lot of emphasis on keeping The Woodlands green and the community still has 28% of green space in the form of parks, greenbelts, open spaces, forest preserves, and golf courses. Even though the population is nearing 100,000 now, it still feels like you are driving through a tranquil forest. The town has been the best selling master planned community in the state of Texas for 8 years in a row.
The Woodlands is such a large development that it was broken into smaller villages in order to keep its small community feel. All of the villages are connected through Village Centers, walking trails, parks, schools, and places of worship. The community includes a town center that serves as a downtown business district for the entire region. The town center is very urban and has excellent walkability including a regional shopping mall, the tourist-attracting waterway, a large outdoor amphitheater, and class "A" office space. The Woodlands boasts 6.7 million square feet of office space throughout the development.
The Woodlands real estate market has held its value well through the recession. While other states have had their problems, Texas as a whole was not as devastated by the recession and housing problems. Oil and gas has kept the economy strong in The Woodlands. There are many industry related jobs here and Downtown Houston provides a very close commute.
The Woodlands homes range greatly in price with a large amount of custom and luxury homes. Currently, there are 55 active listings on the MLS priced over $1,000,000 and capping off at $7,500,000. The median home price in the community is $285,000, with a very balanced inventory of homes.
The Woodlands started out as a suburb, but is thought of now as its own thriving city. While it is still not technically an incorporated city, it offers all of the amenities of a thriving urban center while maintaining a small town feel and strong sense of community. The Woodlands is a great place to live, work, and play. ###
If you're interested in more information about The Woodlands, Jarrod would be happy to hear from you. He can be reached by email with Jarrod at NorthStarMail.net (please format with the @ mark) or by phone at (281) 658-7389. Thanks to Jarrod Frenzel for an interesting post!

| Choosing a Pool for your Infant – Tips and Advice |
Everything you need to know about installing a pool for your whole family, including an infant.
A big question many parents ask themselves when considering to install a pool is whether it’s the wisest idea based on how old their kids are. There is a small school of thought that advocates no swimming pool till the children learn how to swim, but with the solid range of safety fences now available, this seems shortsighted to say the least. Not only that, but construction noises while baby is sleeping is a very bad idea. Provided you have a healthy pool with the right pool pump and cleaner, there is no reason why installing a pool before you have children isn’t a great idea. We’ve put together this list of tips and advice for ensuring you choose the right pool for your baby.
The benefits of a swimming pool for infants: Not only is swimming a very valuable activity while you’re pregnant, but even after the baby is born a pool can be useful in a whole range of ways. From regular bathing and cooling a fevered child in your arms, to the safety advantages of learning how to swim at an early age, a swimming pool is a good investment. Consider also the fitness and recreational benefits for the mother of a young infant, because you have to look after yourself before you can look after anyone well.
Consider installing in a pool with very shallow sections, or large steps: This is the safest most child friendly way to introduce your infant to water. You may choose to use a very shallow, inflatable pool until your infant can happily communicate, but many parents have found that sitting with a baby on the first or second step into the pool is a great safe way to introduce the baby to the pool, while supervising older children. Do not leave the baby on the step unsupervised.
Choose the right toys: Buying an inflatable or floating pool buggy for your baby is a safe way to watch your child while you float about. Do not buy toys that the child might trip over or reach too far into the pool for, and fall in. As the child’s swimming ability progresses, invest in quality floaties and never leave your child unattended, or more then arm lengths reach away. If your pool has no shade, consider moving some tall plants closer to the shallow water, and buy rashies and water hats to keep your child from getting sunburn.
Invest in a pool cover: A pool cover will prevent tragedy if your infant does manage to get inside the fence, by blocking the baby from the water and consequent drowning.
The most important thing to remember is that you need to be constantly attentive while your child is anywhere near the pool. Make sure older brothers and sisters know not to take the infant into the water, or play rough splashing games when the littlest one is floating about.
We spoke with Scott Todd, the local Myrtle Beach Allstate agent about SC homeowners insurance and having a home pool, and he offered this advice:
Pools are covered under a section called coverage "B" for detached structures. If you have this in your policy, it's usually for 10% of the dwelling coverage. For example, if your home is covered for $250,000, the pool (or other detached structure) is insured for $25,000.00. This is PROPERTY coverage, and can be increased if you don't feel comfortable with the amount.
Also, with a pool you want to make sure you have enough liability coverage on your homeowners insurance. (personal injury, specifically) I suggest a minimum of $300,000, which is the policy standard and won't usually need to be added. In addition, most insurance companies require the pool to be fenced in. Florida has some specific rules about pool requirements which are listed on the AVA Innovations website that you might want to review as well. The cute photo on this blog is from their website.

| President Obama in Albuquerque |
One family in Albuquerque NM is having the honor of a visit from President Barack Obama in his nationwide campaign to listen to the common concerns of his constituents. What an honor that is to have the man choose your home and your personal questions and needs to address. I would imagine the security and notoriety will be a real pain, but how cool!
The president has already met with families in Ohio and Virginia, and plans to visit Iowa and Virginia again in Richmond soon.
President Obama is scheduled to arrive in ABQ on Monday and visit with the family Tuesday, as well as hosting a discussion with some other families afterwards.
I would bet the subject of foreclosures in Albuquerque and other Albuquerque NM real estate concerns will be discussed. |

| Who has the Fairest Myrtle Beach Real Estate Website? |
We are in the middle of one of the biggest projects we've ever taken on right now - building a Myrtle Beach real estate website for Century 21 The Harrelson Group.
I had pretty much decided that the real estate market in Myrtle Beach was so slammed with websites that it was a waste of time to even try making another one, especially hoping to make it rank in the seach engines. The same condos have been described on hundreds of websites, hundreds of ways...there's nothing new left to say about any of them except perhaps a few new photos.
But a Realtor friend that I've known for years has studied SEO as much as real estate, and he teamed up with a programmer to build an IDX and CMS that not only had everything a Realtor wants on the back-end, but is also perfectly optimized and easy for buyers and sellers to navigate. That still would not have convinced me, but when I met Greg Harrelson, I found a group of Myrtle Beach realtors that looked at their profession differently than most others.
The Harrelson Group didn't materialize out of nowhere during the condo boom several years ago. They've been in business around 15 years. Greg Harrelson started taking coaching seminars 10 years ago and still takes them...only now he applies what he learns and coaches his own team of agents in the finer arts of selling real estate. Greg focuses on the seller as much as the buyer, which is so unusual in this day and time. He believes the listing agency has the most beneficial position, as well as the most power to help both buyers and sellers in the long run. He trains his agents to find the property sellers first, and then let the buyers find them. Kind of a "build it and they will come" theory, and one that makes a lot of sense... And a LOT of sales. He also believes that a Realtor should give back to the community, and instills his team of agents with the fundamental belief that what "goes around comes around".
Greg also believes that knowledge is power. We are building the biggest source of information on the area's real estate choices as possible. Where most real estate sites have a page for a development with nothing much but available listings, this website will have photos, tips, pros and cons about most of the Grand Strand housing communities. We aren't concentrating the effort on oceanfront condos, but providing information on the residential areas such as Carolina Forest, homes in Barefoot Resort, Surfside Beach homes for sale, Market Common, and more.
Here's a YouTube Video About Greg Harrelson that illustrates his ideals and and expectations.
It's going to take a while to accomplish, but I'm excited over the prospect. Stay tuned for more information...:-) |

| The Real Estate Mindset |
Recent Communication to area Realtors from Renee Long, C21 The Harrelson Group
I would like to take this opportunity to mention the "Master Your Craft" seminar where Greg Harrelson was the guest speaker, held at the CCAR (Coastal Carolina Association of Realtors) in August.
Greg spoke about agents getting in the way of their own goals and success in life. He stressed the importance of MINDSET, and how it can limit or prosper you. Greg has taught his own agents that regardless of how impressive a business plan we have, and regardless of how big and sincere our intentions are - they will never come to pass without the proper mental training that goes beyond simply "knowing" what to do.
I have had the honor of watching many people being coached by Greg and have seen how it has changed their lives. They were no different than anyone else with one exception - a willingness to open their minds, shut out the doubt, and have blind faith in taking on the training tips offered by Greg. From there, they have become some of the top producing agents in our area.
Greg would love to see everyone succeed at that level, regardless of which company they work for - that's just who he is at heart and what he's truly about. I've never seen someone so passionate about what they do and with such a carefree, willingness to give and contribute without expecting anything in return. He has taught us that real estate is not about making a deal and getting a paycheck - it is so much more than that. It's about helping people make one of the biggest financial decisions they may ever make in their lifetime. It's about helping, advising, and contributing to the public and their specific needs. It's more than a job - it's a way of life and a way of BEING on a daily basis.
These are the things Greg Harrelson is about and I hope it is something that our community is about or wants to be about. We should all come together as one strong community and support each other and our chosen way of life that is called real estate.

| On the Medical Side of Things - Nurse Practitioners |
My newest website for a friend and a new customer is a Nurse Practitioner Job Search website, owned by Renee Dahring, who is a career coach. (as well as a friend of my childhood idol Davy Jones - who woulda thunk?)
As usual I've had to learn all kinds of stuff about her business. She's been authoring another very popular blog and has really made a name for herself in the nursing job search world. She'll be adding to the site as time goes on, but already has some interesting stuff for those interested in finding a job in that field.
Just finished an on-page optimizing job for Lake Lanier Real Estate, and we're still working on the Condolux Myrtle Beach Condo Rentals site. They are getting big on facebook too!
I like working with different businesses. It's kind of a break from all the real estate stuff. :-)
And oh yeah...almost forgot my business partner's newest creation, Attorneys in South Carolina. |

| Myrtle Beach Business Websites |
Businesses in Myrtle Beach are getting it, finally. While the real estate and rental industries have been investing in great websites and social media marketing for years now, the restaurants and small local companies haven't understood how important a website and the internet are to their businesses.
When is the last time you looked in a phone book? I haven't even picked up one in 2-3 years now. SO much easier it is to type something into Google and get the phone number! Easier to read, no heavy phone book to pick up and strain to read the tiny print. Websites and the internet are the most important thing to a business now that exists. Even more important is being FOUND on the internet, whether it be by SEO, social media, the online Yellow Pages, or whatever. The best of all is to be in Google Local (or Places as it's now called) to be placed in the organic search rankings, and to be in all the profile sites... like Facebook, Yahoo Local, Insider Pages, etc.
We're beginning a new project out of state now, starting this week. Virginia and Rhodes Lee are Realtors working with Buford GA Real Estate, a small community in Atlanta, Georgia.
I love this business! Every site I do requires me to learn about other places, businesses, insurance, and all kinds of things I would never think of getting involved with. I live in Paradise and manage to do what I love and make a living. Life is good! |

| These Myrtle Beach Businesses Support Cat Month and the NMB Humane Society! |
As we mentioned earlier, June is officially National Cat Month. I extended an offer to many of the local businesses to donate $100 to the Humane Society of North Myrtle Beach, and I would honor them on the blog and add their banner link to one of my websites.
So far two of my favorite businesses in NMB have stepped up to the bat, and here are their accolades!
CondoLux of North Myrtle Beach - one of the best and oldest Myrtle Beach Vacation Rentals companies around. I asked for a few words from them and here's what they said! CondoLux Vacation Rentals in North Myrtle Beach has again proven to be a leader in the Myrtle Beach condo rentals industry. With an exponential increase in web traffic, discounted rental rates, the most competitive golf package pricing, and millions of dollars in real estate sales, CondoLux knows the vacation rental game. They offer over 300 condos, villas and beach homes for rent year-round, most oceanfront so you are overlooking the beautiful Atlantic. The cats in North Myrtle Beach thank you, Condolux, and so do we!
My friend and my Allstate insurance agent, Scott Todd, is one of the nicest guys any cat could ever ask to meet. He graciously sent our cats $100 and saved a few lives that might have been lost!
Our specialty is customer service and to protect your home and family to the best of our ability! We also have the best prices on SC car insurance and offer THE best deals when you combine your SC Homeowners insurance, boat insurance, motorcycle insurance, and more!
Thank you to both of these great local businesses, and I hope to see some more companies donate to help the local homeless animals! We've featured Condolux on our website and page for Kid Friendly Hotels in Myrtle Beach, and Scott is on our Myrtle Beach Businesses page!
There's still a month left to help our cats! If you are a local business, please donate and get some free advertising for your trouble! |

| Myrtle Beach Makes Trip Advisor Number One Destination |
Well, the word is out officially on Trip Advisor, which has become one of the most popular vacation sites around. Just released, in their Travelers' Choice Best Destinations for 2010, Myrtle Beach is number one. Cited as a great choice for kids attractions, Myrtle Beach is described in the caption as:
Myrtle Beach is a family-friendly beach destination—which means in addition to great beaches, there’s plenty to do when the kids are sick of making sand castles. Amusement parks, water sports and golf courses are nearby. And family-friendly dining and hotels abound. This sounds like a big compliment, and when you consider we are listed along with runners up such as San Diego, Hawaii, and several of the best Florida cities, it really IS something.
All the new luxury Myrtle Beach condo rentals are contributing to our popularity. Clearwater, Sarasota and Destin oceanfront resorts used to make us look like the poor relations...but not so much anymore. We'll be another Boca Raton eventually!
In another division of the awards, Myrtle Beach came in at number seven for Best Family Destinations in the US. Although it's not often mentioned, more and more of the new resorts are becoming pet friendly hotels as well. It's hard to take off for a week (most of the condos here require a longer stay) and leave the family pet behind. It's great that more of the nicest resorts are making accommodations for the four-legged family members.
Congrats to all the businesses and vacation services that have made the grade. Here's a few...

| Albuquerque Real Estate Market Has Greatly Improved |
Per my friend Tim Fish, their market has taken off like a rocket this month. He is quite pleased and wanted to get the word out, so here's what he has to say...
Activity with Albuquerque real estate these past three weeks has been exciting to say the least.
The $8,000 seems to have “stimulated” the housing market for now. As predicted, With the Tax credit ending at the end of this month (April 39, 2010), buyers have waited until the last minute and have found themselves in bidding wars.
Sellers are loving it, but at the same time, most are holding their breath until the appraisal comes in at the negotiated price.
According to GAAR (Greater Albuquerque Association of Realtors), we have seen the strongest March since 2007. With 634 closed home sales and more than 1,000 pending sales, this month has turned some heads. I can’t help but to think that April may be even stronger.
Rio Rancho is on the rebound with a 54 percent increase in closed sales from March 2009. Albuquerque has steadily climbed this year and was up 34 percent with 440 closed sales this past month. $140 million dollars in transactions in March 2010 has been reported from the MLS, which is up more than 30 percent from March 2009, according to GAAR.
Advice to buyers - If you find a home that will work for you, run back to the office with your Realtor and write it up, because there is a very good chance that someone is doing the exact same thing on that house!
Advice to sellers - If you've gotten that long awaited offer, have your Realtor pull comps and wait by the door for that appraiser. (and be nice!!). You are going to need every edge you can get!
Tim Fish is an expert on Albuquerque homes for sale, and is a partner with his father Dennis, in The Albququerque Real Estate Group. Their website is located at www.TheAlbuquerqueRealEstateGroup.com. |

| Myrtle Beach Tree Service Website |
Just finished a new website for Tree Services in Myrtle Beach, DAM Tree Services Inc.
DAM stands for the owner's name, Duncan A McInnis. He finds the company name easy to remember for his repeat customers...:-)
As usual I spent quite a bit of time researching tree services, palm tree trimming, live oaks, and some of the equipment the tree guys use. I told one friend that before it was over with, I will know something about every kind of profession!
Anyway, Duncan impressed me with his good nature, good looks, and business integrity. He tells me that he has a 100% satisfaction guarantee and his customers don't pay until the job is done. In this day and time, that's very impressive. Please give his website a look, and if you need the services of a tree expert, Duncan is the man for the job! www.damtreeservices.com
I'm starting to get a nice collection of Myrtle Beach businesses, and more on the way. I have a partnership with a friend Melissa who also does web design, and she recently did a site for a local Myrtle Beach Swimming Pool Contractor, Arnold's Pool Company. Several months ago I finished our local Allstate agent's site, Scott Todd, with the cheapest car insurance in SC.
I am possibly going to start one this week for Audio Rhythms in Little River, and re-do a golf site as well. Feast or Famine! I prefer feasting any day! :-) |

| Albuquerque Real Estate Stays Ahead of the Game |
What will happen to your real estate sales when the tax credit goes away? I recently posed this question to Tim and Dennis Fish, who sell real estate in Albuquerque NM with Coldwell Banker Legacy. I wondered if home sales would drop drastically, and if so, how would they handle all the Albuquerque homes for sale.
There, as everywhere, the inventory of homes and condos is large, and mortgage companies are tight. Unlike many areas, real estate prices did not escalate wildly during the boom, however the industry is being impacted now, as are the losses and foreclosures that go with it. When the tax credit ends, will prices drop further, creating even more foreclosures?
These three questions have people in the real estate industry buzzing. Tim and Dennis agree the answer to number one may be as simple as "Life goes on". The tax credit was meant to be a stimulus package. It was to help stimulate our economy toward growth. In Albuquerque it seems to have been a successful effort.
"First time homebuyers have been taking advantage of the package well in excess of the previous version," says Dennis, but all good stimulus packages must come to an end."
So, I asked, will the sales take a dump? Tim said no, he doesn't think they will.
"I do expect a change, but not a stop of people buying homes! Sellers will have to become more realistic about pricing their properties, and making sure that their property shows well when placed next to their competition as buyers continue to bargain even more. Price it right and make sure it's cleaned and refreshed", Tim answered me confidently. "It's a price war and a beauty pageant!"
Will home prices drop drastically? Tim's father, Dennis, says they will be impacted, but he doesn't know how much.
"I believe that foreclosures will become the 'Hot item' in our market place" Dennis told me. "The prices are often below the market and there is often the chance to buy at an attractive price and do some rehab yourself and gain instant equity".
I guess we all agree that life will go on and homes will continue to sell. If you are thinking of buying, now is still the time! The types and prices on homes in Albuquerque and elsewhere are better than they've ever been. Search the Albuquerque MLS and you'll see every kind of home and condo imaginable. And if you've been thinking of relocating to New Mexico, look up the Albuquerque Real Estate Group. With the experience and enthusiasm they offer, you'll have a great time finding that perfect home!

| Buzzes, Tweets, Celebrities, Hugs or Starfleet |
As someone who has an active profile on just about every social media site on the internet, I’ve found myself enjoying some of them, and completely turned off by others. They all seem to have their own type of personalities, and most seem to serve a specific purpose for a specific type of interest.
Myspace.com is predominantly musicians and celebrities, although becoming full of self-proclaimed entrepreneurs pushing MLM schemes or the mysterious “Secret”. Facebook seems to be more of a home for internet newbies that enjoy sending each other “smiles”, “hugs”, and farm animals. Techies and narcissists seem to be attracted to Twitter, perhaps the most well-known social media site.
Now Google has brought on a wordier version of Twitter, to entice talky fans who feel restricted with the 140 character limit. Known as “Buzz”, Google hopes it will catch on with the ones who enjoy posting their activities from hour to hour in more detail. Although I have not seen any purpose in Twitter and almost never go there, it has become an international phenomenon that seems to have the most fans of them all.
How can a newcomer decide which social site suits them the best? Here are some quick glances at the 3 oldest and biggest – MySpace, Facebook, Twitter; and two brand new and very different ones- Google’s Buzz, and (huh?) William Shatner’s www.MyOuterSpace.com.
