Greenville SC Blog, Greenville South Carolina Blog

I've been writing a Greenville SC Blog off and on for a while now.  I never really liked the term blogging.  I thought of it as just writing about what I see, hear, experience and the things I like about Greenville SC.  There seems to be quite a few Greenville South Carolina Blogs around.  You know everybody's got an opinion.... I just try and write about things I've experienced.  And you know what's great?  When  I get a call from people who read and really enjoy and learn from my adventures.  Quite a bit of stuff has been written here.  A lot of it get's lost in the past pages so I thought I'd throw out a few of my favorite Greenville blogs...I mean writings for you. 


Most of it is about Greenville SC Real Estate, but some other stuff too!  Hopefully the blogs may bring a little insight into Greenville, the area and real estate.  Enjoy!  Keep those comments coming...and I'll keep blogging...I mean writing :-)!

February 3:

Wow, the weather has been beautiful!  Looks like we'll get up to 60 again today.  I need to check and see what's going on in downtown Greenville this weekend! 

Well, the circus is in town!  Yep, Ringling Brother will be at the Bi-Lo Center.  Want to catch a play?  Cabaret will be at Warehouse Theatre.  I helped the manager buy in Greenville years ago.  The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe will be at the SC Childrens Theatre.   First Fridays is free!  Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo will be at The Peace Center for The Performing Arts.   Gallery Talk at the Greenville County Museum.

Hey, guess what I'm going to be doing.  Showing of course.  I'm meeting new buyers tomorrow and they have picked out some homes they would like to see.  Looks like we will be looking at 13 homes in the Greenville area.  I'll throw out some of the neighborhoods they picked in case you interested.

Botany Woods, Pelham Estates, Terra Woods, Dove Tree, Ashford, and a few in Sugar Creek.  Should be a good day!  Caught this in the backyard yesterday!

Hey, my Greenville SC Video Tour is back up!  Check it out!

Good morning Greenville! And all you other folks too.  Hey, I've got a very busy day today.  As a matter of fact, I think it's starting to pick up.  Got an email from Chris Cogdill, a favorite closing attorney of mine and he said the builders activity is really increasing. 

Got an email yesterday from a very nice couple who had visited from New York.  They of course are still very interested in the area but have a home to sell.  We saw some beautiful home in River Reserve.  With spring coming, maybe they can get it sold and relocate to Greenville!  Hey, I gotta run, ya'll take care.

Site Updates and Changes to My Blog:

Good morning.  Hey, I've been playing around with some ideas for changing my site and in particular this Greenville SC Blog.  I've been writing this blog for years now and most of the time I've updated it daily or weekly.  I get a lot of compliments from people all over the country about how much they enjoy my site.  But folks, all things change and we all need to keep improving. 

So rather than update daily or weekly with a paragraph of two I think I'm going to do new topic pages.  Along with that I will continually update old pages.  You see my site has grown over the years and some info gets old.  Hey, it's only me doing this!!  So what I'm going to do is add new content, update pages, add video, etc.  Hey, I've got a lot of ideas floating around. 

My goal is to update or add something new everyday.  Then I'll add a link here so it will be easy for my readers to find.

But first I want to make a few comments (you know me).  There's a lot of stuff out there and everyone has an opinion... My problem with a lot of it is, particularly on realtor sites is that most of it is regurgitated.  You know, source will comment, then it get's plastered over 100s or 1000s of Realtor sites, with some changes.    

There are millions of pages on Greenville SC.  Yep, that's right, millions.  I've sorta always wanted my site to be a little different though.  I mean yep, I'll report another award given to Greenville or Greenville being voted this or that but everybody does that folks!  I try and speak from experience and give you my opinion!  I mean that's what you want....right?

I'm a little different, I'll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.  Always have, always will.  If I like a house, I'll tell you, if I don't... you will be the first to know!  I mean hey, that's my job...right?  I'm a buyers agent...right?  Let me clarify, I'm an exclusive buyers agent... not an agent who lists homes and says they are a buyers agent.  Not an agent working on a team for a big listing agent who goes out and shows the listing agent's listings! 
 
You want a little background on me and Real Estate in Greenville SC, start with the topics in the left box, they tell a few stories and maybe provide some good advice... you got more questions, call me at 864-335-8490 or email me at donwessel@gmail.com.

I'm going to start links to updates right below, be sure to keep checking back:

January 3:

Good morning!  Hope you are wrapped up.  Currently it's 23 degrees in Greenville and the high is supposed to be only around 39!  Hey, I was ready for some cold temps.  Has gotten down right hot here for this time of the year. 

So, I thought I'd do a year in review for you today...Now folks, there's a lot of places you can go to get numbers on the market like Zillow and all the other real estate sites out there.  I could go into the mls and run the numbers for you but in a week or so we will get them all in a nice format from an outside firm. 

In the meantime however... I can tell you from my perspective what the year was like.  I had a good year, was it like it was back in say 05-07 well no, but that's to be expected.  You see, here's my deal... I mainly work with people from all over the country that are relocating to Greenville SC.  Well, regardless of how good Greenville is doing if people in let's say New Hampshire can't sell their home, well most of them can't buy here...

So really, I'm waiting on the rest of the country.  I can't tell you how many people I have that I watch the market for that just need to sell their home.  

I have people all the time asking me about the Greenville SC Real Estate Market and I have to tell you it's a funny market.  Yes, there is some downward pressure and yes I see more and more foreclosures, etc. but that doesn't mean you are going to steal anything folks.  A nice home in a nice area is going to get a fair market price, period.  And why is that?  Well, it's all about Greenville South Carolina!  You see, the economy is pretty decent, companies are still moving here, we have a vibrant and beautiful downtown, etc. etc. etc.  It just goes on and on, and by the way, did I mention the low property taxes? 

The thing is you just have to be careful where you buy, some areas are better than others and some homes are better than others.  Buying downtown or in the Augusta Rd. Area?  You will pay a premium.  Buying in Easley?  Cheaper price per sq. foot. 

And please remember, if it's too good to be true... well....

I'm excited about this year.  I've got a lot in store for you on my site.  News, videos, pictures and just some real good inside info. from a long time resident..
 
Your Greenville SC Realtor and Exclusive Buyers Agent!
