YAY!!!! for those of you that knew that for almost 2 years I had been working very hard at going back to school to get my GED. Well I took the GED test May the 8th and I got my finaly score today. I passed!!!! I can now say that I have an education.... I have had alot of things go on in the past 2 years but I did not let them hold me back from doing one of the things that I had set my mind to doing. I did not let anything hold me back and now that I know I can do whatever I set my mind to nothing in this world will ever hold me back for the things that I want. I know that there were a good many of great people on this site that stood behind me when I firt started and then it was like I went away from here for a while it was because I wanted to keep my mind very clear and spend all my time studying and it all paid off. I also wanted to say a Great big THANK YOU to Leanne,Joey,Tim and Ziggy. These 4 people were really great friends and knew I could do it even when I thought that I couldn't. I love you all for doing what you all do best.

Recent News Proves Proper Pricing is Important

mrbrian — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 16:35:43 +0000

Understanding the real estate market and current market conditions is so very important to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Upstate South Carolina. And that is why this article about the demand for home loans being down should be looked at by anyone selling a home.

Consider the fact that this means there are probably fewer qualified buyers looking. The article even states that stricter lending standards are making it tougher for borrowers. So if you decide to overprice your home, it is really shooting yourself in the foot in this market!

Not only will you have less showings, but the few qualified buyers that do decide to look at your home will face a tough time getting a loan for your home. Because it is quite likely that even if you find a delusional buyer to buy an overpriced home, getting the home to appraise is another story!

The most important thing a seller can do if they are serious about selling a home is price it correctly.

City of Anderson Tearing Down 18 Homes

mrbrian — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 16:31:58 +0000

I read this article about the city of Anderson tearing down 18 homes. Now the article says the homes are foreclosed so I am not sure how the city can tear down the bank's homes but judging by the pictures and the locations it is no surprise if the banks let the homes go for back taxes.

But the reason behind this is a good one. It is to improve neighborhoods and build on the city’s model block concept. And with the renewal taking place in downtown Anderson, it is good to see that all areas of the city are being looked at.

How to Find out What Your Upstate South Carolina Home is Worth

mrbrian — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 20:56:33 +0000

I read an interesting article about how BAD Zillow is when it comes to being accurate on the values for a home. If you would like to read the article you can find it here. And while I use Zillow to advertise, in general I dislike the inaccurate data that is often on Zillow. And especially since they think that somehow they can take the place of an agent who actually lives in the area. For example just today a person asked a question on trulia. And again I like this site for advertising but it also has a serious problem with accurate up to date info. But how could this website know what I did?There is no way this website could have done what I have and that is actually know the home and its condition! Or know the local market and what is possible!

Selling or buying a home is a HUGE financial decision and you should not rely upon websites that do not always have up to date info or uses data that is plain wrong!

To find out the truth about real estate for sale in Upstate SC and then to know about what prices are high, low, crazy or a great deal you need the help of a local real estate professional. To me, there are 2 ways to determine the value of a home in Upstate South Carolina:

* An Appraisal
* A CMA

If you are considering selling your home in Anderson, Oconee or Pickens county and would like to find out the current market value then please check out how to get a Free CMA. Now it will not help you if you live outside the areas that I work in Upstate SC!

Foreclosures up across South Carolina for February

mrbrian — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 20:50:59 +0000

According to this article, foreclosures are up in South Carolina. And of course, anyone looking to buy a home always mentions the hot button topic:

Foreclosures!

But are there really great deals to be had and how can a buyer find out about foreclosures in Upstate South Carolina? Of course you can pay the website in the quoted article above to find out about foreclosed properties after they have already sold or are under contract.

OR....

You can do what every truly savvy foreclosure buyer does and have a buyers agent sending you deals as soon as they hit the MLS. Because in real estate, time is of the essence or in other words:

Ya Snooze Ya Lose!

There are several steps to getting great deals and if you want to find out how to get started and not waste time or money then please feel free to contact me!

Saving Tiger Woods Career & the PGA

"How To Save Tiger's Career & The PGA...."
Category: Sports
Last night after a few shots of Tito's Hand Made Vodka from the freezer,I had a major epiphany. I looked at the pros & cons of Tiger Wood's current situation & it came to me.
The PGA needs Tiger way more than Tiger needs the PGA. Tiger is set for life,whether he ever plays pro golf again. The PGA without Tiger is in deep shit. Just look at what happened while he was out after surgery. Nobody really cared about golf without Tiger.
Tiger's only chance to turn this ugly incident around is to embrace his new found image & just go with it. He needs to not worry about his current sponsers & go after new more relavent ones. Durex Condoms,Viagra,Hennesey,Hooters,Hyatt Regency would be good choices. Then he needs to hook up with a major Hip Hop producer and record a Rap record about his many amorous escapades. It will be released under the name: "The Notorious TIG". He needs to be seen out "clubbing" with Snoop Dogg,50 Cent,Kanye & the like. Instead of "Arnie's Army", He can have a bevy of "Hooter Girls" called "Tiger's Tarts" that will follow him around on the tour. His new slogan will be "Don't Hate The Player,Hate The Game." This change will bring in an entire new demographic into the PGA audience & breathe new life into professional golf in general. So Tiger,If you'll hire me as your new Manager & give me 20 Million Dollars;I can make this happen & save your ass.....Think About It....It's Your Only Hope.....
Peace,
Danny G.

I got a question

randyorko — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 04:18:47 +0000

I went to George's restaurant last night (12-4-09) and there is this new waitress there and she is really cute. It's the first time I have ever seen her in there. I was to shy to ask her for her name . I was wondering if anyone would know her name. She's really really out going and down to earth. She's like in her 20's. She had pigtails and was wearing a Clemson hat. She was kinda short and had a nice body. I think I overheard her say she's in college for natural resources. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I kick myself because Im too shy to just come out and ask. I want know what I want to say but it just won't come out. It's embarassing to have to ask someone else her name when I should be able to ask her myself. I'm afraid next time I go in there she may not be in there. Pls if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

FUNNY

Jack Schitt!

Rabecca — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:56:44 +0000

WHO IS JACK SCHITT?

For some time many of us have wondered just who is Jack Schitt?

We find ourselves at a loss when someone says, 'You don't know Jack Schitt'!

Well, thanks to my genealogy efforts, you can now respond in an intellectual way.

Jack Schitt is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, who married O. Schitt, the owner of Needeep N. Schitt, Inc. They had one son, Jack.

In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious couple produced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt.

Against her parents' objections, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout.

After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced.

Noe Schitt later married Ted Sherlock, and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt Sherlock.

Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son with a rather nervous disposition named Chicken Schitt. Two of the other six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony.

The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens nuptials. The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Horse.

Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world.

He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt.

Now when someone says, 'You don't know Jack Schitt', you can correct them.

Sincerely,

Crock O. Schitt

I'M DONE......
