I sure do hope that everyone had a blessed Easter weekend! The weather was glorious to match the occasion.

The market is opening up with a lot of new listings coming on board in the next few weeks. Keep your eye on the website for new properties popping up along with all of the flowers and fresh new leaves on the trees.

We have a very knowledgeable group of Realtors here at First Realty. Our job is to help you navigate through the real estate process. If you call one of our agents to see a house, please understand that our job is not just to show you the houses but to make sure that you understand the process. We want to help you get through the stages of being pre-qualified or pre-approved by a lender BEFORE you start looking so that there are no big surprises later. It gives you a much stronger position to have that piece of paper saying that you are pre-qualified to purchase a home when you go to make your offer. Also, we promise our sellers that we will try our best to only show their home to potential buyers that are really earnestly looking to purchase and not just looking at homes for fun. In this day and age, we have to be cautious. Please do not take it personally if an agent asks about your pre-qualification prior to showing a property. We are looking out for our Clients, customers, and our own personal safety as well. If we have not ever met you, we may ask you to come to the office and meet prior to going out to see homes. This is all for the safety of our agents.

Buying a home is a process, it doesn’t happen overnight. We will be taking you and your needs seriously,  and we ask that you understand our need to be cautious. Help us make this an excellent experience and a joyful time in purchasing your new home because that is what we want for you!

Real Estate in Greenville is beginning to open up for the spring. We have several new contracts and some new listings coming up in the next week or two. If you are sitting on the fence about listing your house, now is a GREAT time to put it out there. Call one of our professionals here to make an appointment to come out and see your property and we will do a market analysis to see what your home or land is worth!

The town is abuzz with so many activities! This past weekend we had a Fun Run downtown for Relay for Life and the Arts & Crafts Festival was a great success.

Coming up on April 26, 27, & 28, make your plans to see Putting On The Ritz. If you have never been, you really should go and see the wealth of talent that we have in Greenville.

If you haven’t heard, The Rotary Club is hosting a Crawfish Boil on April 14th at the Library Pavilion. $25 will buy you AYCE crawfish and beverage until they run out. There will be live music and lots of fun! I have tickets here at the First Realty office if you are interested in attending. The proceeds from this event will go to support local charities.

Fun times in a small town!

So far we have received really good feedback on our new website! I appreciate so much all of the nice comments. We at First Realty are doing everything we can to ensure that we have the most innovative marketing that we can for each and every one of our listers.

The performance season at The Ritz came to a close last Thursday. We enjoyed having the pre-performance parties here in the foyer of our building. Nancy Idland and Marianne Hamilton have done a wonderful job of providing top-notch entertainment right here in downtown Greenville. If you didn’t get tickets this year, do yourself a favor and be sure to get some next year.

The Camellia City Fest is coming up on March 10th. Right outside the front door of First Realty. They will close down Commerce St. and vendors from all over the country will have booths with arts and crafts. It will be a fun welcome to spring!

If you are looking for a great time in April, The Greenville Rotary Club will be having a Crawfish Boil at the Pavillion by the library. Tickets will go on sale this coming week. $25 each. Live band, all of the crawfish you can eat while supplies last and beverages. Contact any member of the Greenville Rotary Club or come by here at First Realty for your tickets.

As always, call us at First Realty for any of your real estate needs! We look forward to hearing from you!
