Leave it to Karen Berry from Freedom Boat Club to come up with this fun idea to raise awareness of, and give the entire community an opportunity to participate in, the fight against breast cancer. <br /><br /><br />Bras of all sizes and colors will be collected (drop off boxes at Freedom Boat Club at Harbourgate Marina as well as 94.9 The Surf studio at 541 Highway 17 N in North Beach Plaza) and will be strung across the Intracoastal Waterway from Filet’s to the fuel dock on the other side of Harbourgate Marina on Wednesday October 27 from 5-7. What a site this will be! The Surf Team will be there emceeing, and the most important thing is that Freedom Boat Club will donate $1.00 for every bra that’s donated to benefit the Relay For Life in our community. There will be a full BBQ meal available for $10 a plate as well, with proceeds going for the cause.<br /><br />October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and 94.9 is proud to sponsor and participate in this TEAM FREEDOM fundraiser. So, clean out your lingerie drawer, grab those “over the shoulder boulder holders” and drop them off soon!

I will be getting most of my information from the horry county web sites. I hope this information helps in your relocation. <br /><br /><br />Horry County (pronounced OR-ee) is named for Peter Horry, a planter of French Huguenot descent, who was born in South Carolina in 1747. He was a lieutenant colonel in the Revolutionary War and a brigadier general in the S.C. Militia. He represented Prince George Winyah and All Saints parishes in the S.C. House and Senate.<br /><br />Horry County is located in the northeastern corner of South Carolina. On a map it looks like a wedge between North Carolina and the Atlantic Ocean. It is the largest county in South Carolina in area (1,134 square miles) making it larger in land area than the state of Rhode Island! Myrtle Beach is the largest city, tourism is its largest industry, and Conway is its county seat.<br /><br />There are approximately 215 sunny days a year, with the average air temperature of 64 degrees, water temperature of 66 degrees, and relative humidity at 56 percent. The average January high is 56 degrees, and the average July high is 91 degrees.<br /><br />Whether your interest is golf, boating, fishing, attractions, the symphony, or theatre, Horry County truly has something for everyone. With miles of coastline, meandering rivers and abundant natural beauty, this region offers the best of the outdoors with a host of cultural and recreational opportunities.<br /><br />The Myrtle Beach area, also called the Grand Strand, is a 60-mile stretch of communities along the sparkling Atlantic. Today the family fun and excitement last year round, from Little River down to Surfside Beach, Garden City, and Murrells Inlet as 13 million tourists visit the area each year.<br /><br />No other destination offers such diversity. The individual communities that make up Horry County are unique, each with its own personality and appeal.RE/MAX At The Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13773558081467650371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917381271348993131.post-51972456109047348972010-09-20T12:10:00.000-07:002010-09-20T12:15:22.503-07:00CEO, Many Agents to Present at 2010 NAR ConferenceThe annual Realtors Conference & Expo is right around the corner, Nov. 5-8 in New Orleans, and RE/MAX will have a significant presence.

If so, Mike Aubrey of RE/MAX Metropolitan Realty in Gaithersburg, Md., has solutions that can spruce up any home exterior.<br /><br /><br />Here's an excerpt featuring Aubrey’s 10 tips on curb appeal:<br /><br />Take a fresh look. After living in a house, it’s easy – and convenient -- to stop noticing what needs fixing. For sellers in denial, Aubrey, known for his tough-talking approach to real estate, shows the seller pictures of competing homes, and says: "Buddy, if I were a buyer picking which home to see, yours would come in last."<br /><br /><br />View your house as a portrait. Create a composition where everything – hardscape, softscape, entryway, exterior walls and roof -- works together. Have the big picture before you proceed.<br /><br /><br />1.Green up the grass. If it’s brown, or has bald spots, fix it. While you’re at it, prune, weed and clean up the rest of the yard. <br /><br /><br />2.Fill flowerbeds. Plant flowers and shrubs that will look good now and later. That is, after summer annuals go, have something in planters that will bloom or change color in fall. Tier planters so taller shrubs are in back, smaller ones in front. <br /><br /><br />3.Refresh paint. If you can’t afford to paint the whole house, at least repaint the trim. Make doors and windows pop. "If a buyer walks up to a door that’s beat, they think, ‘This is a project house.’" That can kill a deal. <br /><br /><br />4.Color it carefully. Pick a palette that conforms to the neighborhood yet sets your house apart -- a fine but critical line. "Neutral isn’t the same as boring," says Aubrey, adding, "Don’t be that house where people drive by and say, ‘What happened here?’" <br /><br /><br />5.Revisit your approach. Design a welcome path from street to door, which should be the focus. Punch up walkways and driveways. If replacing them with good-looking pavers is out of the budget, add a stone or brick border. Fix or replace uneven or boring walkways.<br /><br /><br />6.Add polish. If your outdoor light fixtures look weathered, or your door handle looks worn, repaint or replace them. Shiny, new metal makes people say, "Oooo." <br /><br /><br />7.Tend to the little small stuff. Simple details like new address numbers, a new doorbell, a handsome mailbox and a fresh doormat say you care. <br /><br /><br />8.Add an element. A pediment over the entry, an upgraded front door, a cover over the porch, or some columns can add major drama for less money than you’d think.RE/MAX At The Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13773558081467650371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917381271348993131.post-88946771507106197862010-09-10T07:06:00.001-07:002010-09-10T07:06:57.116-07:00Watch Tuesday: 'House Hunters' to Feature Florida AgentAfter a couple of years corresponding with HGTV about appearing on an episode of their hit show "House Hunters," Melissa Miller finally found the right clients. Her debut episode airs Tuesday, Sept. 14 at 10 p.m. ET.<br /><br />Buyers Paul and Tamra Smart were referred to Miller, a Sales Associate with RE/MAX Premier Associates in Weston, Fla., and the show follows them as they plan to expand their living space in hopes of expanding their family. <br /><br />On the show, Miller (CRS) helps the Smarts find a move-in-ready home near good schools priced between $200,000 and $220,000. Miller says it was challenging to meet all of these benchmarks, particularly in the pricier areas they preferred to search: Boca Raton and Coral Springs.<br /><br />"It helped that they were flexible and realistic,"says Miller, a 100 Percent Club member. "They knew they didn't want to spend a lot of money, but they figured if they wanted move-in ready they might need to make other compromises. We discussed their expectations in our initial meetings, so I was able to manage those expectations upfront."<br /><br />Miller showed the Smarts three properties: one in Boca Raton that was on the smaller side; one in Coral Springs that was larger but needed quite a bit of work, and a second in Coral Springs that was move-in ready but above their price range. Which did they choose? <br /><br />"They were very happy with what they ended up buying," says Miller, who can't reveal the final outcome but did share one fun tidbit. "They started the episode as a family of three and they ended the process as a family of four."<br /><br />The Smarts have a baby on the way, and since the show's taping they've delivered a referral to Miller, who's already in talks with HGTV producers to film a second episode. Within the next month, Miller hopes to secure the right buyer for the show. <br /><br />About the show<br />"House Hunters" takes viewers behind the scenes as individuals, couples and families learn what to look for and decide whether or not a home is meant for them. Focusing on the emotional experience of finding and purchasing a new home, each episode shows the process as buyers search for a home.RE/MAX At The Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13773558081467650371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917381271348993131.post-44103485303858369642010-09-02T07:17:00.000-07:002010-09-02T07:23:24.861-07:00What is Miracle Jeans Day?The Miracle Jeans Day concept is simple.

The auction benefited Children's Miracle Network.<br /><br />"We'd like to put the painting up in the lobby at Houston's new children's hospital, opening in December," Filip says.<br /><br />Yocum, who owns RE/MAX Centre Realty, didn't come away empty-handed. Earlier, he donated $11,500 for another painting Dunn created at the Opening Session – a whimsical image of Ray Charles. That auction benefited Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Yocum says the painting will hang in the lobby of his RE/MAX office.<br /><br />You can watch Dunn in action by viewing videos of his act on YouTube. <br /><br />A worldwide painting phenomenon, Dunn has performed his adrenaline-packed "Paintjam" act on daytime TV shows, such as "Ellen," "CBS Early Show," and "Good Day New York."<br /><br />Dunn gained global attention for his unique skills after his teenage daughter posted a few videos of him on YouTube.

Fair market value is usually not the asking price.<br />Many agents will begin by conducting a competitive market analysis of your house and give you an estimate of the fair market value of your home, which is a range that will fluctuate depending on the housing market in your area and how much similar homes in your neighborhood are selling for.<br /><br />While overpricing to some degree can be beneficial, you'll still want to be careful and avoid pricing your home too high, which almost always is nonproductive.<br />As you work with your agent and set your price, you'll want to recognize the factors that may prompt you to raise your asking price too much when it isn't warranted. Some of those factors include:<br />Upgrades have been added. While many home improvements will help you recoup a good chunk of your investment, it won't give you 100 percent of what you paid. Also, the more personal the improvement—a swimming pool, a sunroom, purple floors—the less likely it will be viewed favorably by potential buyers. <br />The need for money. <br />You're moving to a higher-priced area. <br />The original purchase price was too high. <br />The seller lacks factual comparable sales to prove what the market value is. <br />The seller wants bargaining room (listing more than 1-3 percent above market value actually reduces bargaining power). <br />An unnecessary move, so you're not motivated. <br />On the other hand, if you're in a neutral or buyer's market, like in Minneapolis, you'll really need to be cautious in setting your price.<br />"While a few select neighborhoods are experiencing good activity, the market generally is favoring buyers," said Mary Jo Oren, a Realtor in Minneapolis, Minn. "Price reductions are becoming more common and sellers are having a tough time adjusting to fewer offers, fewer multiple offers and increased market time to sell. Buyers are less emotional and not afraid to offer significantly less than list price plus ask for additional seller participation."<br />Generally, the asking price—the price advertised when it goes on the market—is set slightly higher than market value, usually 1 to 3 percent above market value.<br />You should assume that negotiation will be necessary to reach an agreement with the buyer. If you price your home too much above market value, you'll get fewer showings and offers in which the potential buyer is fishing to determine how low you'll go.<br />You'll want to establish your priority list: Are you more concerned with selling quickly or getting the most money possible? You'll also want to contemplate whether you think the agent's suggested price is reasonable and whether you'd pay that amount if you were a buyer.<br />Your agent, as well as friends, relatives, and neighbors, will help you point out your house's advantages and disadvantages that you may not have thought about because you're too close to the house and not as objective as others.<br />A third party will help you think of your house as a commodity—something with positive and negative selling points. At that point you can decide on a price that you deem competitive and in line what other houses in your area have sold for.<br /><br />Copyright © by Realty TimesRE/MAX At The Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13773558081467650371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917381271348993131.post-2192650460512823352010-07-26T09:04:00.000-07:002010-07-26T09:12:14.638-07:00Long Drive in North Myrtle Beach SC!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji998_iTJ13S4gAX16zRwSQNva1F_NgwVdjCCRDK2W25BD9QXjs-_DB_Ig5WyboTFC7fid-cyvLJoS-TWDwsAyg1jwtUs-dCRwxwEoI2bcu8nIHtikGCSdbOdUGL8QQTUInOPWoXDfOWA/s1600/longdrive%2520logo-new.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji998_iTJ13S4gAX16zRwSQNva1F_NgwVdjCCRDK2W25BD9QXjs-_DB_Ig5WyboTFC7fid-cyvLJoS-TWDwsAyg1jwtUs-dCRwxwEoI2bcu8nIHtikGCSdbOdUGL8QQTUInOPWoXDfOWA/s320/longdrive%2520logo-new.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498247465345996850" /></a><br /><br /><br />Since 1995, RE/MAX International has been the title sponsor for the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship – golf's premier power event and a major international competition. And each year, the eight-month-long global event results in millions of impressions.<br /><br /><br />The goal of RE/MAX International's participation in Long Drive is to generate exposure for the RE/MAX network and brand through a unique sporting event. The program provides golfers the opportunity to take their best shot at becoming the RE/MAX World Long Drive champion and sharing in the $550,000 purse. In 2008, more than 40 million consumers viewed the RE/MAX name and Hot Air Balloon logo. More than 10 million fans watched the December finals on ESPN and its international affiliates.<br /><br />On the local level, RE/MAX brokerages and Associates often host qualifying events at little or no cost to themselves, also resulting in spectacular public exposure. It makes a big impression on customers and prospects, and each event is an excellent showcase for the RE/MAX Balloon and other marketing items that enhance an office's professional image.<br /><br />Join us this weekend at Barefoot Landing for the Long Drive Championship.RE/MAX At The Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13773558081467650371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917381271348993131.post-1467923039806807912010-07-26T06:57:00.000-07:002010-07-26T07:05:37.980-07:00Get The House Ready!Are you debating selling your house, do not feel as if you can get your home ready to be put on the market? It seems like a ton of work to do, the cleaning, the short notices. I will be posting some ideas with a little help from REALTOR.com to help you come over the fence to get your home ready for the perfect buyer! <br /><br />A house that "sparkles" on the surface will sell faster than its shabby neighbor, even though both are structurally well-maintained. <br /><br />From experience, REALTORS® also know that a "well-polished" house appeals to more buyers and will sell faster and for a higher price. Additionally, buyers feel more comfortable purchasing a well-cared for home because if what they can see is maintained, what they can't see has probably also been maintained. In readying your house for sale, consider: <br /><br />how much should you spend exterior and curb appeal preparing the interior How much should you spend in preparing your home for the market, spend as little money as possible. Buyers will be impressed by a brand new roof, but they aren't likely to give you enough extra money to pay for it. There is a big difference between making minor and inexpensive "polishes" and "touch-ups" to your house, such as putting new knobs on cabinets and a fresh coat of neutral paint in the living room, and doing extensive and costly renovations, like installing a new kitchen. Your REALTOR®, who is familiar with buyers' expectations in your neighborhood, can advise you specifically on what improvements need to be made. Don't hesitate to ask for advice. <br /> <br />Before putting your house on the market, take as much time as necessary (and as little money as possible) to maximize its exterior and interior appeal. Tips to enhance your home’s exterior and curb appeal:<br /><br />Keep the lawn edged, cut and watered regularly. <br />Trim hedges, weed lawns and flowerbeds, and prune trees regularly. <br />Check the foundation, steps, walkways, walls and patios for cracks and crumbling. <br />Inspect doors and windows for peeling paint. <br />Clean and align gutters. <br />Inspect and clean the chimney. <br />Repair and replace loose or damaged roof shingles. <br />Repair and repaint loose siding and caulking. <br />During spring and summer months consider adding a few showy annuals, perhaps in pots, near your front entrance. <br />Re-seal an asphalt driveway. <br />Keep your garage door closed. <br />Store RVs or old and beaten up cars elsewhere while the house is on the market. <br />Apply a fresh coat of paint to the front door. <br />Maximizing interior appeal<br /><br />Giving every room in the house a thorough cleaning, as well as removing all clutter. This alone will make your house appear bigger and brighter. Some homeowners with crowded rooms have actually rented storage garages and moved half their furniture out, creating a sleeker, more spacious look. <br /> <br />Hiring a professional cleaning service, once every few weeks while the house is on the market. This may be a good investment for owners who are busy elsewhere. <br />Removing the less frequently used, even daily used items from kitchen counters, closets, and attics, making these areas much more inviting. Since you're anticipating a move anyhow, holding a garage sale at this point is a great idea. <br />If necessary, repainting dingy, soiled or strongly colored walls with a neutral shade of paint, such as off-white or beige. The same neutral scheme can be applied to carpets and linoleum. <br />Checking for cracks, leaks and signs of dampness in the attic and basement. <br />Repairing cracks, holes or damage to plaster, wallboard, wallpaper, paint, and tiles. <br />Replacing broken or cracked windowpanes, moldings, and other woodwork. Inspecting and repairing the plumbing, heating , cooling, and alarm systems. <br />Repairing dripping faucets and showerheads. Buying showy new towels for the bathroom, to be brought out only when prospective buyers are on the way. <br />Sprucing up a kitchen in need of more major remodeling by investing in new cabinet knobs, new curtains, or a coat of neutral paint.RE/MAX At The Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13773558081467650371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917381271348993131.post-10077680279618675032010-07-26T06:25:00.000-07:002010-07-26T06:52:54.009-07:00Now is the time to buy!The deals in North Myrtle Beach are hard to pass by especially if you are looking for a small condo for your second home or even for your permanent home.

The U.S. Homebuyer Tax Credit brought a lot of buyers out last fall and again this spring, which stimulated sales during that time period. <br /><br />While that heightened volume cannot be sustained, home sales and prices still remain higher than last year due to historically low interest rates and the lowest home prices seen in years. The monthly survey of 54 metropolitan areas also reveals that closed transactions in June were 5.6 percent higher and that prices rose 3.5 percent when compared to June 2009. <br /><br />“There’s no question, the tax credit has had a significant impact on this market,” says RE/MAX CEO Margaret Kelly. “No one can predict the future, and we may still see a slight pull back, but for right now it appears that housing is holding its own, hopefully on the road to a sustainable recovery.” <br /><br />Responding to demand, home prices appear to be stabilizing and slowly inching higher. The weighted average of all median sales prices for June was $211,530.<br /><br />story from www.remax.netRE/MAX At The Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13773558081467650371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917381271348993131.post-1851705472943310382010-07-02T06:46:00.000-07:002010-07-02T06:51:43.300-07:00Close by Sept. 30 to Receive Homebuyer Tax CreditClose by Sept. 30 to Receive Homebuyer Tax Credit<br />U.S. homebuyers who are eligible for a Homebuyer Tax Credit have until Sept. 30 to close the transaction and receive the credit.<br /><br />Congress has extended the closing deadline, which had been June 30, by three months. The action affects an estimated 180,000 homebuyers who, because of circumstances beyond their control, had been unable to close on their purchase by the original deadline.<br /><br />One factor in the backlog is that many of these transactions are Short Sales that often require extended time to complete.<br /><br />RE/MAX has more than 15,000 agents specially trained in working with Short Sales and in helping homeowners avoid foreclosure. <br /><br />Buyers who secured a purchase contract by April 30 are eligible to receive the credit. This is money that never has to be repaid, provided you live in the home for three years.<br /><br />Qualified first-time buyers can receive a credit of 10 percent of the home price up to $8,000. You are considered a first-time buyer if neither you nor your spouse has owned a principal residence in the U.S. in the last three years.
Homebuyers who owned and lived in their principal residence for five consecutive years of the last eight are eligible for a credit of up to 10 percent of the purchase price, up to $6,500.<br /><br />The National Association of Realtors estimates that 4.4 million people have received the credit since it was made nonrefundable in 2009. That includes 2.9 million first-time buyers and 1.5 million repeat buyers.<br /><br />Other facts about the Homebuyer Tax Credit:<br /><br /><br />The upper income limit to receive the full credit is $125,000 for individuals and $225,000 for couples. <br />If the purchase price is more than $800,000, you are not eligible for the credit. <br />You can apply the credit to the 2009 or 2010 tax years. There is no minimum income for claiming the credit. You qualify for the full credit even if you won’t owe any taxes for 2009 or 2010. <br /><br />information from: WWW.RE/MAX.com<br />Thinking of joining a RE/MAX please go to: www.joinremax.comRE/MAX At The Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13773558081467650371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917381271348993131.post-60023033401019767062010-07-02T05:20:00.000-07:002010-07-02T05:32:37.301-07:00Home for the Cure<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMuzphjaJ1qi9EZocsiIDLz8LcmEXC5vAWnHVOcM_p3uOqdrbuglMRmYeA5b-6s7CkMdKak_ti0Wdm_0ojfsOIdl7bPn97xTvWNbXQgqANz_wBZXhK0MYpoAYfdgdXjZS_8VHWHEu4dog/s1600/EILEEN+PHOTO++200.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMuzphjaJ1qi9EZocsiIDLz8LcmEXC5vAWnHVOcM_p3uOqdrbuglMRmYeA5b-6s7CkMdKak_ti0Wdm_0ojfsOIdl7bPn97xTvWNbXQgqANz_wBZXhK0MYpoAYfdgdXjZS_8VHWHEu4dog/s320/EILEEN+PHOTO++200.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489285708594110066" /></a><br /><br /> HOME FOR THE CURE<br /><br />Local RE/MAX Agent Sells Homes to Benefit Susan G.
