“The support, attention to detail, service and personal attention that Barb showed us during the sale of our home was above and beyond our expectations.  Her knowledge of how to present a house for selling, marketing and knowledge of the local market allowed us to sell the house in a timely manner.  Simply put, Barb Turner is an excellent leader in her field and we would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house.”

Have Your Home SOLD for About Half the Typical Commission

by Aaron Cole on 09/15/11
No Comments    |   Email to Friend    |   Print    |   RSS 2.0
5%, 6%, 7%… there’s no standard commission, but speak to an agent about what they charge to sell your home and this is what you’ll likely hear.  Do the math!  If you have a $300,000 home, it is going to cost you $18,000 to sell!  Do you have that kind of equity?  You don’t have to wonder why so many sellers choose to go “for sale by owner”.
 
At South Carolina Home Corporation, we guarantee we can have your home sold for about half what a typical agent charges.
 
Our proven Full Service PLUS Sale Program costs thousands less than what a typical agent charges and includes:
  • Professional Certified Appraisal
  • Professional Staging Service with Area’s Master Stager
  • Comparative Market Analysis
  • Multiple Listing Service
  • High-Traffic Website
  • Attractive Yard Sign
  • 25+ Websites, including REALTOR.com
  • Appointment Setting Service
  • Professional Sales Agent to Negotiate and Finalize Your Sale
  • Open Houses
  • And Much Much More.
For some people, wasting $3,000, $4,000 or even $8,000 isn’t that big of a deal.  They say, “let’s do it the way it’s always been done.”  But for the seller who likes to shop and compare, the Full Service PLUS Sale Program is simply a better deal!
 
To get complete details and find out if the Full Service PLUS Sale Program is right for you, call (864) 322-1220.

South Carolina Home Corporation leasing agents are working closely with Wetzel Realty and Wetzel Services {click here for Wetzel Services website} to meet the rental needs of their international executive clients who are moving into the Upstate.   

These employees are currently in need of 3 and 4 bedroom rental homes and downtown condos.  These homes need to be very clean and well-maintained and within a 15 minutes drive to the intersection of I-385 and I-85.  Lease terms are typically for 2-3 years and are in the $1,200 to $1,800 monthly rental range. 

Contact Katie Brauenig, SCHC Property Manager, (864-322-1220 / katieb@SCHomeCorp.com) if you have a currently available rental home that meets these needs.

Here is a short note that Jennifer Hensley, SCHC Sales Agent / Property Manager received from one of her clients.  Jennifer marketed this client’s home for sale and lease to help him take advantage of all opportunities in the market. 

“When you put your home in the hands of a property manager it helps when the manager exhibits the true desire to get the right person for your property.  I really appreciate Jennifer and her unwavering commitment to search for the right person to lease our home. She did everything she said she would do and after screening multiple prospective clients, she found the right tenant for our house. It is clear that she treats everyone with respect and courtesy. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to lease a home. Furthermore she is also an excellent choice if you want to put your home in the rental market. She is excellent at what she does.”

SCHC Offers Tenant Representation

by Aaron Cole on 05/12/11

South Carolina Home Corporation is not your typical real estate company.  We are a sales, marketing and management company working in our specialty, residential real estate.  We have found a niche for our business.  We have studied the market, the needs of real estate consumers, and the services that are offered by other real estate companies.   In certain cases we have found that we can offer services to consumers in better ways than our competitors.  The goal has always been to address areas of need and to make the consumer’s experience with us better than it would be with one of our competitors (i.e. quicker sale, higher sale price, better return, etc…)

Examples of services that we have developed that address our clients’ real estate needs are HomeSOLDin60TM, Listing Savings Match Program and RENT IT! TM (our “Rent in 60 Days” Program).  These services are unique to South Carolina Home Corporation.  They are developed by SCHC Staff for the specific use and benefit of our clients.

We have noticed recently that prospective tenants have specific needs that are not being met.  As tenants try to identify rental homes that fit their needs, then view those homes and execute a lease on the one they want, there are a lot of steps they need to work through.   As far as we can tell, these needs are not being met by anyone in the market place. We are regularly contacted by prospective tenants who are frustrated that they have tried to lease a home, but by the time they make the lease offer the home they want is no longer available (they were too late).   Tenants have difficulty viewing homes.  Property managers appear to be too busy right now in many cases to return calls.  Also, tenants tell us about the difficulty they have in even identifying homes that are available that fit their needs.

South Carolina Home Corporation has developed Tenant Representation services to help tenants work through the process of finding and leasing a home.  For a small fee that can be charged on a credit or debit card, SCHC leasing agents will work exclusively for the tenant client to find homes that fit their needs, show them the homes, get the many questions answered about amenities, utilities, etc…, and help the tenant negotiate and execute the lease.  These services fit beautifully with many tenants’ needs.

At SCHC, we are excited to be in the problem-solving business.  The real estate business has changed a lot in the last few years.  Our clients are seeing success and our business is growing.  This success is due to our agents’ ability to meet our clients’ needs.  If you or someone you know is interested to know more about SCHC Tenant Representation or our other special programs, contact an SCHC agent or our offices at (864) 322-1220.
