Lake Keowee Real Estate Expert Blog First Pitch!

Around Lake Keowee, folks are getting excited about the first pitch soon to be thrown as a new era of Clemson Baseball with Eric Bakich at the helm begins this Friday. The Tigers are still in pretty good shape on the hardwood as well, but still have some work to be done. Also, folks are out looking at a lot of Lake Keowee real estate (which is why we write this amazing blog in the first place. What, you think this is the sports section of the daily rag?).

It’s been a busy week already as we’ve put a Lake Keowee waterfront lot under contract and hope to put another Lake Keowee waterfront house under contract very soon. No new listings over the past week, but we do expect to see them start to hit the market at a quicker pace as we get closer to springtime. It’d be nice to see the inventory buildup a little bit but that may take some time. Buyers are still in the market and when the good stuff hits, they are still willing to jump.

That means it’s a great time to put your Lake Keowee real estate on the market! Let us tell you what it’s worth, what needs to be done to get it market ready and show you how we make the process less stressful. Give us a call today! PLAY BALL!

Home Buyers: How to Avoid Paying Too Much

A Simple Guide to Help Avoid Overpaying For Your Home.

Simply put, paying too much can jeopardize the integrity of your investment. Here’s vital information to help you avoid overpaying for your property.

Tip #2 Shop for a mortgage before you shop for a home

Getting a loan preapproval is the smart way to shop for a home. It tells sellers that you’re a serious prospect, and you know in advance the maximum mortgage you can afford. Make sure you get a commitment in writing. I’ve seen many buyers make the mistake of learning what they qualify for but not getting that preapproval in writing.

The good news is that it’s easier than ever to qualify for a home loan. Lenders have modified qualification rules and created programs designed to help people even if they have problems in their credit or employment histories. Many programs call for dramatically reduced down payments – the biggest obstacle for first-time home buyers in particular.
