Ask a Dargan Real Estate Agent: Myrtle Beach Housing Market

June 8, 2018 by megan

Each month we feature a question with an answer from one of our realtors. Check in with us for expert tips and advice on real estate in Myrtle Beach!
Question: What’s the market like in Myrtle Beach right now? 

Answer from Caroline: The market is on fire right now in Myrtle Beach. Just to give you some insight. I had a buyer from Texas call me at 7:30 am they saw a property online, I went and FaceTimed them on my cell phone so they could preview the property that day. We decided to make an offer and we got into a multiple offer situation. However, we negotiated the property and got it. I handled the inspection, CL-100 and we did a mail away closing. The buyers never had to come into town. They have closed on the property and love it! Had we not moved fast we would have lost it. That home was on the market for 7 days! If things are priced right they are moving quickly! We are seeing multiple offers again and our market is as hot as the weather right now! Call us today for all your real estate needs!

Ask a Dargan Real Estate Agent: Should I present the buyer with a credit at closing or reduce the asking price?

October 4, 2017 by Dargan Real Estate

Question: If I should have to sell, what is a better tactic: present the buyer with a credit at closing or reduce the asking price?

Answer: I see agents who list properties where their seller offers a credit towards a lacking area in the home all the time. Example, a home has carpet or flooring that needs to be replaced. They allow a $3500 credit towards carpet/flooring at closing. This is all fine and good because it’s a way to acknowledge that you know it needs to be replaced or needs attention. [Read more…]

September 18, 2017 by Dargan Real Estate

Question: What Paint Colors Should I Keep/Get Rid Of?

Answer: Lots of people want to know what’s the best colors to paint my home to get the maximum dollar amount for it. I always advise my clients to go neutral! Neutral appeals to the masses and is less likely to turn off buyers. Neutral colors (beige, light tan, cream, light grey) are not obtrusive or loud and they are soothing to the eye. [Read more…]

June 16, 2017 by Dargan Real Estate

A good agent will do their research on the “COMPS” in the area you are looking to buy in. “Comps” are comparable properties to the one you are buying or selling.

Ask a Dargan Real Estate Agent: What Should I Do To Prepare My Home To Be Listed and Shown?

March 13, 2017 by Dargan Real Estate

Question: What should I do to prepare my home to be listed and shown?

Answer: If you have your property listed for sale you should first have your home practically “staged” meaning you got rid of any clutter. It should look clean, neat and crisp. Almost like a model home. If you need to touch up paint or clean out the garage or get rid of some of the furnishings to make the space look bigger, we recommend you do so. Adding hanging baskets or beautiful plants at the front door is a nice touch as well. [Read more…]
