New Today to Blogging

I have never blogged before and this is a new adventure for me! I am a real estate broker in upstate South Carolina and sell real estate on Lake Keowee, Lake Jocassee, Lake Whitewater, Lake Cherokee, Lake Cheohee and other mountain lakes in the Oconee County, South Carolina area! It has been my privilege to assist more clients than I can remember locate their dream property for retirement or a second home over the past thirty one years!

Having been in the business that long, I have lived through the days of the 1982 and 1983 interest rates of 17% Plus, the bank failures of the late 1980's, 911 and the invasion of Iraq. It seems the real estate industry always recovers. Usually sooner than later. The reason? Baby boomers are not a very patient group. I know this personally because I am the epitome of a baby boomer. Most boomers want it now, ready and available to use immediately. So with that said I am sure that most of the boomers that are out there that were wanting a second home or lake property are about tired of waiting.

I saw this happen with 911. As soon as 911 happened the real estate business came to a halt.... but in the Spring of the following year the boomers and others decided life would go on and came to our area in droves to buy lake property.

I am sure that is just a matter of time that they again will come! Besides.... Second homes are where family dreams are made for the memories of future generations!

In the meantime if you want to research our area go to http://www.perryandsally.com/ to start!
