Lake Keowee Real Estate Expert Blog Cold Snap

Surprise, surprise it’s January around Lake Keowee and guess what? It’s cold. We usually get a couple of weeks of temperatures in the low 20’s to high teens around this time of year so nobody is buying up all the milk and bread from the Piggly Wiggly (yet). Everyone just has remember where they put their exterior faucet covers, etc. and it’s just enough cold weather that you understand we do, in fact, have a 4-season climate. The beauty of which is fall and spring are nice and long taking the sting out of these really frigid days.

If the roads are clear and the power is on we can still sell Lake Keowee real estate. And they’ve been clear all week leading to us putting a couple more Lake Keowee waterfront lots under contract. That’s a bit of a unicorn this time of year, but there are buyers waiting for inventory in certain price categories. We just listed 322 Hillandale Rd., a Lake Keowee waterfront home, for $1.1M which is in that price range where a lot of waterfront buyers are pining away for inventory. Hopefully, it matches the need of one of them and is under contract by next week!

We need more of that inventory. Your Lake Keowee waterfront home or lot may be just the property for someone in the market right now and they may be willing to buy it from you for an excellent price. Let us tell you what your property is worth. It may be the perfect time and price for you! And as always, stay warm!

How to Sell Your Home for the Highest Price Possible

Here’s how to avoid mistakes that could cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars, when you sell your home.

Even during the best economic times, hundreds of homeowners still throw money away because of poorly made decisions during the sales of their homes.

This information is designed to give you the tools you need to protect your most important investment when it’s time to sell. Before you put your house on the market, follow this informative guide to reap the maximum rewards possible.

Choosing the Right Real Estate Agent

Once you’ve decided to consult with an agent, the decision of which one to choose is probably the biggest and most important decision you’ll make in the entire process.

The best first step is to talk with close friends and relatives who have recently sold a home. Ask if they had a good experience, whether they would recommend the agent and if they had any reservations or things they wished the agent had done differently.

Also, talk to professionals you may know in related industries, including lenders, closing attorneys, contractors or builders, accountants, etc. Ask them what it is they recommend about the agents they refer and whether they themselves have ever used the agent’s services.

Finally, look around you neighborhood to see what agents seem to be listing and selling the most houses. Take a look at the ads, direct mail, brochures, signs and other materials that the agents use to promote the houses they sell.

Do they seem professional and high-quality?
Do they present an image of an organized, competent professional?
Do they impress you as someone you may be interested in working with?

Keep in mind that if you don’t like the way they market themselves and other people’s homes, you probably won’t like the way they market yours either.
