Real Estate Market vs Crisis

June 30, 2020 By Robert

Real Estate Market vs Crisis

 

“What do you think the real estate market is going to do?”.  This has been what has been on everyone’s mind lately.  Active Real Estate buyers and sellers are trying to time the market and figure out where and when they should be investing.  The truth is, nobody really knows.  But we do know that right now nothing much has changed in the Greenville/Spartanburg  area real estate markets.  Competition for deals and owner occupied homes is still fierce!  And expensive! The market is up and climbing, regardless of the crisis going on around us!  So drawing on the past and knowing that we are experiencing economic headwinds.  Are changes coming in the market?  Most likely.  However, evidence suggests that real estate market conditions may remain largely unchanged in the near future.  And we know that in the last “downturn” it took 18 months to begin to feel a negative impact on real estate values. The difference this time is the crisis is country wide and hitting all at once so it may take less time.  Keep one eye open to watch the real estate market and buy for value not speculation. This is a practice that you need to make a habit in times like these!
Let us know how we can help. We help our clients rent, buy and sell real estate!

To your success!

Thank you for your business!

Dollar General vs. Furlough

May 6, 2020 By Robert

This past weekend I stopped in at the Dollar General near my house to purchase a few essentials.  When I checked out I was greeted by a lady approximately 35 years old with a cheery disposition and a smile J .   As she was scanning my items she asked me how I was etc. and I asked her if it had been busy for a Saturday?  She said yes!  Almost overwhelming!  She said she had only been there not quite two months and this was the busiest day yet!  I said only two months?  (She seem to be running the place)  She said yes that she was furloughed from her regular job at Applebees because of the Covid but she couldn’t just sit at home that she had to pay bills and take care of her babies!

I was so encouraged by hearing her story and feeling the passion that she had for her job at that very moment! Even though she had only been there only a short time!!  Instead of thinking that she could just take a break she chose to go out quickly and find another job.  But what really struck me as exceptional was that she now “owned” her job at Dollar General!  It didn’t take her long apparently to get in a groove and figure out how to make a living.

At Houses & Then Some Inc. we are also passionate about what we do! We help our clients Rent, Buy and Sell real estate!  And we are open for business and working hard for our clients and customers!  Can we help you?  Do you have questions about maximizing your return on your real estate investments?  Please give us a call at 864-395-6538 or email property.htsi@gmail.com .

Virus – Where do we go from here?

March 20, 2020 By Robert

By now you have read all that there is to read or watch about the “Virus” so I am not going to attempt to comment on that.  However there will be an economic impact on the real estate community at large. And depending on the length of time that “self” quarantine continues will determine the size of the impact.  So there will be a percentage of rental customers that will truly not be able to pay their rent on time.  There will be others that will take advantage of the situation to pay late or unfortunately not at all.  And there will be sales contracts that suddenly come into doubt and people get cold feet so they begin to back off..   But know that we will be at our work stations taking care of business.   At the office, at home, or wherever the job takes us we will be doing our jobs, maintaining relationships and doing whatever it takes to take care of our clients and customers! 
Everyone will be treated with respect but we will make all attempts to follow the law and collect and close all in a timely manner.   Overall Americans are a resilient bunch and rise to the occasion when needed!  We will do our part in a small way to keep moving forward  and as much as legally possible to do “Business as Usual”.
After many years of managing and selling property my staff and I have heard, seen and felt the blows of experience.  And we are much better for it!   We have a multitude of systems, legal and professional knowledge that we use to take care of our clients and help you manage your real estate investments!

So power up and do not travel the same roads that we have traveled!  Hire a professional to help you rent or sell your real estate.  Leverage our experience to help you navigate your way!

To your success!

Emotional Support Dog

December 23, 2019 By Robert

Over Thanksgiving my favorite dog Marley and his younger brother Wally came to visit!  My daughter, her kids and husband came with :).  Currently no animals live full time at our house.  Empty nest…  So, the visit was great, the house was full once again!  There was a time when we had seven animals around! That’s right seven! This was when my daughter came back from college before moving out on her own.  So, I am accustomed to plenty of animals plus we live in the country so no big deal.  And, most of them stayed outside all the time! (Even better) Nothing says family and holidays like the sound of children and dogs! 🙂 So, in a way the doggy visitors were my emotional support for the Holiday! It was great! Hope they come back for Christmas!

If you are renting your house as a “no pets” property you need to know the difference between a Service Dog and an Emotional Support dog!
A Service Dog is not considered a pet. It’s a device to help with a disability similar to a wheelchair. Since a Service Animal is not a pet you cannot charge a pet deposit or pet rent. You may refuse an animal if it poses a proven threat to health and safety of others. ADA rules apply on renting to any handicapped person which is asking for “reasonable accommodation”. *Note – Service dogs are always going to be with your tenant so it should be pretty easy to spot the need for the service dog.

Emotional Support dogs are in a different category. The “Emotional Support” animal is at times used as an excuse to have a pet in a “no pet” property.  If suddenly there is a pet at your property, and they claim that it is for Emotional Support you need to request documented proof from your tenant/customer.  A true emotional support animal has been prescribed by a physician or licensed therapist who should be happy to provide a letter stating such.(Always document and verify, check with your legal pro and housing laws if needed.)

Our wish is that you and yours have a wonderful fun filled Holiday Season and a very special Merry Christmas. Remember those less fortunate and donate to your favorite charity or church. 

To your success!
