Building Green in Charleston SC - What does that mean?
2008-04-30 19:03:00
So the hot thing now is to build green, but what does that mean? According to WIKIPEDIA, Green building is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings use resources ? energy, water, and materials ? while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal ? the complete building life cycle. If you build green you can reduce your home operating costs, reduce environmental effects and improve health in the environment. Some green builders try to build the new home to fit the environment using nature as it's guide.One way to help the environment and be green is to use product with the Energy Star seal.

CAROLINA ONE REAL ESTATE - PRUDENTIAL FRANCHISE OUT IN CHARLESTON- REAL EST
2008-04-25 18:57:00
With the recently annouced news of Prudential Carolina leaving their franchise and starting a new endevour it made me do some thinking. Does the company make an agent or does the agent make the company? You can have good and bad agents at any Real Estate Firm. What matters is that your agent is ethical, honest, diligent, professional and a person you feel you can relate to for your real estate needs. I believe you will start to see some of their agents leave and move back to a franchise company like Century 21 and Remax. Its hard to complete against a major francsises when it comes to TV, radio, print and online Marketing. You will notice when you search for Real Estate Century 21 remains up top. Even Locally in Charleston Century 21 has the dominent online market share. Creaturo and Associates of Century 21 Beachside Real Estate, has helped many families over the last fifteen years relocate to our area, and local families move up or size down. We would love an opportunity to meet y...

What does .0076% mean to the Mortgage industry
2008-04-19 18:22:00
Obviously, it is an extremely small number. It is 76 ten-thousandths of 1 percent, that?s tiny! It is also represents the percentage of sub-prime loans compared to all outstanding loans in the United States. It is time for some perspective!There are currently $9.9 trillion dollars in mortgage loans in the United States. Of that $9.9 trillion, there is only $75 billion in sub-prime loans or .0076%. Is this .0076% really worth all of the negative attention the media is giving it? Absolutely not!Why is the media giving the sub-prime ?melt down? so much publicity? Obviously, the numbers above are probably a bit staggering to you compared to what the media is telling us. The true reason the media is harping on the sub-prime sector is that many Fortune 100 and 500 Companies have purchased financial products as assets that have sub-prime loans within the product. In years past, there has been a large rate of return on these products. However, these companies now have to write off some of t...
