8 things to know about buying a home today

Wow! Today I attended the coastal Carolina association of realtors mini conference held at The Marina Inn @The Grande Dunes. What a fantastic job our association did in putting together this "free" event. I totally enjoyed the keynote speaker Tom Lundstedt http://www.tomlundstedt.com/ Known as the funniest investment and tax guy in America! Tom presented very good information in a fun format. He had us laughing all day! All for "free". You would have paid high dollars to hear him on your own. I urge all my fellow realtors to take advantage of events like this in the future. Invest in yourself! We all need to sharpen the saw. It was also a great time to network with all my fellow realtors and affiliates. I hope everyone will mark your calendars for the next "free" mini conference in October.

Today at the CCAR ( Coastal Carolina Association of Realtors ) I attended the Lunch N Learn about the Horry County website and the tools that are online and available to use for Realtors.  Please check out Horrycounty.org here you can search public records for Land records by tax map number, owner name; search for deed information and heads up -  coming soon will be the ability to actually see deeds  online (fee) base. Also there are mobile apps available for the IPAD, IPHONE and and ANDROID - see your app store enter ESRI as the search and dowload the app for FREE. Realtors can also view the current listing of foreclosures by clicking on the Legal Services tab,  Master in Equity and then click the link to view the foreclosure listings. Feel free to contact me about any of the information above.
