Lake Keowee Real Estate Expert Blog Fantastic Fourth!

Hope all you folks around Lake Keowee, and everywhere else for that matter, had a great 4^th of July. I know we did. Watching fireworks is like riding on a jet ski; can’t do it without a big goofy grin on your face. There were several fire works displays to be enjoyed by water including ones at the Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards (see pictures above) and The Reserve. With July 4^th being on a Monday, if you played your cards right, you could have seen displays on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. We Americans do love to celebrate the 4^th!

At Top Guns Realty we were also able to get some business done by fielding an offer on a house as well as looking at a couple of new potential listings. We’ve got a really good feeling they will come to fruition and hit the market sooner rather than later. I know all of you buyers are waiting with bated breath as the market continues to have a lack of choices in many price ranges. There is still a lot of the summertime selling season remaining so hang in there…and then we are back to football season. Plenty of opportunities to go to contract, close on some Lake Keowee property and then enjoy it before it’s too cold to swim.

The good news is you can still enjoy your Lake Keowee property in any season. We have days in December and January in the 70’s where you can steal a bit of on-the-water Keowee fun (we also have days where I wouldn’t be caught out on the water – don’t like being cold).

Let us help you find that perfect Lake Keowee lot or home. If it’s not out there right now we can set you up on a search that will alert you as soon as one comes available in your category. If you’ve been thinking about selling – SELLLLLLLL!

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.

The old notion of caveat emptor – “buyer beware” – has been turned on its head. Lately, with all of the talk about “buyers’ markets” and “changing real estate values,” as well as the myriad complexities and legal ramifications of today’s real estate transaction, a more appropriate sentiment may be “seller beware.”

Know What Upgrades Will Bring You the Best Return

Remember quality counts, up to a point.

If the stove in your kitchen is broken or extremely worn, replace it with a middle-of-the-line model from a well-known, quality appliance manufacturer rather than the best of the best.

At the same tie, making shoddy repairs or using cheap replacements to “get by” may save your initial investment, but won’t get you anywhere in the perceived value of your home.
