West Columbia SC Real Estate Office Deploys New Internet Visibility for Calhoun County

Exit Agape Real Estate Services, based in West Columbia, has recently expanded its web strategy to include Calhoun County as specific search criteria for its web-site. Our firm has a very deliberate web strategy that focuses on what makes individual markets unique. The ultimate goal is to provide the highest and best exposure for our client’s property.

Calhoun County’s central location, easy access to major highways, workforce, climate, and quality of life make it an attractive location for companies that need to locate or expand their operations. The new Starbucks roasting plant is a great example of a world class company that chose Calhoun County to expand its operation in the Southeast.

Calhoun County, SC, is bordered by the Congaree National Park in Richland County to the North, Lake Marion to the East, Orangeburg County to the South and Lexington County to the West. Sandy Run, Fort Motte, Lone Star, Cameron, Staley Crossroads, and the county seat, St. Matthews, are the towns within the county.

The county has a rich history and saw considerable activity during the Revolutionary War. In 1781 during the battle of Fort Motte, Mrs. Rebecca Motte assisted General Marion and Colonel Lee in burning the British out of her own mansion. Many men of the county also fought for the Confederacy in The War Between the States.

Calhoun County has plenty of rural areas for hunting, fishing and any other type of outdoor recreation. With affordable real estate, friendly small town atmosphere, and close proximity to two major cities, Columbia and Charleston, Calhoun County could provide a great place to live, work or retire.

Exit Agape Real Estate services currently has multiple residential and land listings in the area. Because of the unique nature of rural properties, we believe the need to reach out beyond the local community for a potential purchaser is crucial.

The Exit e-tours and automatic syndication features are designed to provide that exposure. The tools are some of the best in the real estate industry. We strive to showcase our client’s property to as many potential purchasers as possible in the shortest amount of time.

The current real estate statistics from the Consolidated Multiple Listing Services shows that for the last twelve months the median home price sold in Calhoun County was $139,900. The average price sold was $163,868. The current active listings on the market show a medium price for sale of $175,900 and an average list price of $244,425.

A fiery red maple leaf gently floats through the air and comes to rest on a neatly groomed lawn. A slight breeze unexpectedly provides a brief moment of relief from the otherwise motionless air. The shafts of sunlight slanting through the sun porch windows seem to have a diffused quality. The sound of a high school marching band can be heard in the distance. These are some of the signs signaling the end of summer.

The residents of the neighborhoods in Cayce, West Columbia always look forward to the fall season. High School football, the state fair, fall festivals, free outdoor concerts, and plenty of beautiful weather are just a few of the things that make the area so charming

Edenwood, a neighborhood of approximately four hundred and fifty homes is a perfect example of an established community in the city of Cayce. Edenwoods large brick homes, well manicured lawns, and long time residents are a testimony to the quality of life one can find here.

Edenwood has been a well kept secret over the years. The community is conveniently located just off of hwy 321 within minutes of I-26 and I-77. Construction of the subdivision started in the early sixties. The homes are mostly all brick with hardwood floors throughout every level.

The neighborhood features a community pool, and an elementary school within its boundaries. There is still a very active neighborhood association with attendance at its biannual membership meetings sometimes approaching one hundred members.

The quiet streets and lovely fall colors will tempt you to take a stroll. The neighborhood is bordered on several sides by a nature preserve. It is not uncommon to see deer standing in your neighbor’s yard in the early dawn light.

The home values are still a relative bargain compared with other parts of the city. Most homes will require some updating, but the tradeoff of having an established neighborhood with towering Oaks and large shady yards is well worth the extra work. The transition to younger families has already begun as the original residents look to downsize into carefree communities like Agape Village.

There are several sources for information for Cayce and the neighborhood of Edenwood. You can find information about upcoming events, city news, meeting schedules, and a lot more by visiting the city of Cayce web-site at the following address. http://www.cityofcayce-sc.gov/ There is also a link to the Edenwood web-site from the city site.

The modern use of the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" is attributed to Fred R Barnard. He used it to promote the use of images in advertisements that appeared on the sides of streetcars in the early 1920s.

The idea is extremely valid for today's competitive, internet driven real estate market. Most realtors do not realize just how fast a potential purchaser will eliminate their property listing from contention. In less than a second a purchaser can click the mouse button and move on to the next property during an internet search.

Why go to all of the trouble to list a property, syndicate it to a million web-sites, create a virtual tour, and publish it in some real estate magazine if the pictures do not convey a sense of the property? We are supposed to be the experts at marketing the property. That is what we are mainly hired to do.

Selling is a transfer of emotion. If the purchaser is not feeling something, he or she is probably not buying. How many times have you heard a buyer say it just feels right. It is not magic, there is a reason that it just feels right. Something about the way the property has been presented feels good to the buyer.

We, the expert marketers, should be looking very hard for everything that makes the property unique. We should be finding out from the seller the things they like most about the property. Finally we should be telling the story of the property through pictures and text. There are some great opportunities for creativity on every listing.

 Try to look for ways to convey feelings whenever possible. Sometimes, by taking pictures in the evening you will create another whole look and feel for the property. If you know what the seller liked about the property, you will have a better chance of showing that to your potential buyers. It will also help you when you write your text about the features.

We owe our sellers a fighting chance on the internet. With a little due diligence and some creativity, we can grab a potential purchaser's attention. We may even get him or her to say that there is something about this property that just feels right.
