April 2014- The Charleston Real Estate Market is HOT

Every time I begin writing a post on one of my new listings, it goes under contract!! That’s right–6 new listings over the last two months have gone under contract within the first few days of being listed. One of them was under contract in less than 4 hours!! So what has changed and why is the market so crazy?? It seems like everyone that has been waiting in the wings for the last few years is finally pulling the trigger and getting their finances in order to buy. We still have loads of people moving to the area as well so that compounds the situation.

I am also working with several buyers in Mount Pleasant and downtown Charleston that can’t seem to find exactly what they are looking for. Inventory is low and buyers are competing for properties more than they have in recent years. Multiple offer situations are commonplace again. Couple that with the fact that rents are going up, up, UP in our area…so it is usually cheaper to buy than it is to rent…and we have more people than ever looking to buy! Certainly the ratio of buyers to listings is getting out of hand.

So if you have a home that you are possibly interested in selling, let me know. I’d be happy to provide you with a free market analysis of what your home would be worth so you can make the most informed decision! It very well may be worth higher than you think (even higher than it was a couple of months ago)!!!

Hopefully, if you are reading this, then you already know that I am a complete open book and would never pressure you to make any decision at all…it’s just free information! rebecca@theblvdcompany.com

**GREAT CONDITION**

This home has been impeccably maintained by the SINGLE OWNERS that have cared for it since 1980. They have never rented it nor occupied it full time, yet live locally and are able to keep it in perfect condition. That unique set-up results in a home that truly stands out among the competition.

Perfectly polished hardwood floors and the original knotty pine walls help to make this property truly shine. The walls were a notable upgrade during construction and that decision is why the home has been able to maintain the condition that it has! The pine walls hold up to the salty air unlike any other material–one of many decisions made by these owners committed to the upkeep of the home’s style and durability!

SO excited to finally announce–THE BOULEVARD COMPANY!

After months of planning, I am thrilled to finally announce the big news– Charleston’s newest real estate company is now officially open for business! 20-year veteran broker, John Liberatos, and I have partnered together to open The Boulevard Company! http://www.theblvdcompany.com

For years, I have had frustrations with my real estate career because a typical brokerage charges agents fees for tools that should be helpful in their careers. However, once you have your business set up, they continue collecting these same fees for the life of your career. Realtors pay a huge portion of their commissions for services that they rarely use.

Over the past few years, there have been new companies that have popped up in our ever-changing market to save agents their hard-earned commissions–and these companies have had success because agents obviously feel the same frustrations that I have felt. However, they are flawed because there ARE services that we, as agents, need. Broker support and training are imperative to our growth as agents as well as to the top-notch support of our clients. So, while searching for a solution, John Liberatos, and I have come up with the perfect a-la-cart solution for agents to secure a solid foundation while they independently grow their business. John is a native Charlestonian of several generations and has been a Charleston Realtor for over 20 years.  He was the former Chair of the Grievance Committee for the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors and currently serves on the Professional Standards Committee for CTAR. John’s business experience is evident as the last company that he started, RentCharleston.com, currently manages over 900 properties in Charleston and has given John the knowledge base for this type of venture. He is the perfect leader to provide the knowledge and support–and up-to-date information–that agents will need on an ongoing basis. I am so excited for the opportunity to be part of the solution for my fellow agents! More details will follow but please help me spread the word.

We are only now launching the company and yet we have 8 real estate agents that have already joined The Boulevard Company!! Our main location is 35 Broad St in downtown Charleston but we already have alternate office locations at 89 1/2 Wentworth St, 501 Folly Rd, and in Hendersonville, NC!! Everyone that sits down with us to hear the details seems as excited as we are!

If you are an agent interested in more details, please contact me at rebeccalinenger@gmail.com or visit http://www.theblvdconcept.com (the site will be active soon!) for more information.

102 Dillard Dr. Goose Creek, SC
$165,000

Home is PRICED TO SELL! Fantastic 3 bedroom, 2 bath home features an additional upstairs FROG that is perfect for a playroom, media room or office.

***OPEN FLOOR PLAN***

As you walk in the front door, you are immediately greeted by an impressive foyer/entry space not often found in homes of this price point.

The spacious master bedroom and bath were recently redone, with a new bathroom vanity added mid-February, 2012! This space is open and offers plenty of space for the most distinguished buyer! The 2 guest rooms are also nice sized and share a well appointed full bathroom off of the hall. All of the bedrooms are well placed on the main floor, making them convenient and accessible- while still set off of the living space and, thus, very quiet. ***UPGRADES*** This home has been immaculately cared for and constantly upgraded. The entire kitchen was redone with new cabinets and new counter-tops in Nov 2010, a new deck was added in May 2011, a new roof with 30-yr architectural shingles was installed in Nov 2011 and the master bathroom was completely redone in Feb 2011 with all new cabinetry, counter-top, sinks and fixtures! The house is decorated with designer paint colors throughout and is MOVE-IN READY! ***YARD*** This home sits on almost a third of an acre and is the perfect, private spot for you and your family. With a full privacy fence around the yard, you are sure to enjoy all seasons of outdoor entertainment! Also rare for the lowcountry, this home sits on high ground, giving it a beautiful street scape and also protecting it from the threat of hurricane flood waters.

***NEIGHBORHOOD***

Although this home technically sits in Goose Creek, you really receive all the benefits of the Goose Creek zip code (including Laurel Hills HOA fee that is only $110/year) while enjoying the amenities of Hanahan’s Tanner Plantation less than a quarter of a mile away! The new Bi-Lo shopping center offers everything you need for groceries, neighborhood bars and restaurants, nail salons, etc!
