A Recent Seller Talks About Her Experience Working with Hamilton & CO. on the Sale of Her Home



On the latest episode of “Your Carolina With Jack & Megan,” I’m joined by a client who recently sold her home with my team.

One of our recent sellers, Shellie Corley, joined me on Your Carolina with Jack & Megan to talk about her experience in working with our team on the sale of her home.

First, though, I shared a quick word about our market. We’ve entered a little bit of a slowdown now that we’re between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but the good news for sellers is that there are still a lot of buyers out there. Many sellers prefer to wait until January to start the home-selling process, but there’s a lot that can be done now so that you can hit the ground running once January does arrive. 

Moving on, Shellie has actually bought one home and sold two with my team, and she said we were wonderful to work with. She and her husband both work full-time, and as busy as her household gets, she said it was nice to work with an agent such as myself who’s experienced and brings a degree of calmness to the transaction. From a business perspective, they needed an expert who could tell them exactly what to do and how to do it.
 


“That’s been one of the greatest things in working with him,” she said. “He makes it very easy.”

As Megan then pointed out, that’s one of the reasons people hire Realtors in the first place: They don’t want to list the home themselves. Not only can we take the pressure off of you, but we can also help you net more money. 



From a business perspective, they needed an expert who could tell them exactly what to do and how to do it.

During Shellie and her husband’s first home sale, they chose to list it at a very high price, which I counseled against. The sale took a lot longer for them, and the home eventually sold for the price I wanted them to list it in the first place. For their next home sale, though, we had two offers within five days of listing and secured a great price.

As you may know, I often appear as a guest on “Your Carolina with Jack & Megan,” and today I wanted to share yet another one of my recent segments with those of you who may have missed it when it aired. For this segment, Jack and Megan decided to play a game to see how well they’ve absorbed the tips I’ve shared on their show so far. The game is simple: I showed them two side-by-side photographs and asked them to guess which of the rooms depicted has been staged. If you want to play along, be sure to check out today’s clip. As always, if you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.


What Makes Now a Great Time to Be a Homebuyer?


Right now is a great time to be a homebuyer or homeowner in our Greenville market—here’s why.

As we make our way through August, now’s a great time to be a buyer in our market, and there are two big reasons why.

First of all, interest rates are absolutely unbelievable right now. Last November, they were just under 5%, but now they’re at 3.5%. This is also great news for new homeowners, because if you bought your home back then, you can refinance and save a ton of money


If you shop for homes now, you might come across a seller who’s had their home on the market all summer long and is all the more eager to get a deal done. 

For example, if your home cost $200,000 and you used a 30-year loan at 4.94% to purchase it while putting $10,000 down, your monthly loan payment would be $1,013.01. If you refinanced at 3.6%, that would drop your loan payment down to $863.83 per month. Over the life of your loan, that’s a savings of over $30,000.

There’s also less demand and less competition from other would-be homebuyers. With the school year starting up again, a lot of people are too busy doing other things to shop for homes. Additionally, if you shop for homes now, you might come across a seller who’s had their home on the market all summer long and is all the more eager to get a deal done.
