It’s Back! The Rock Hill Annual Come See Me Festival

wayne — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 21:52:10 +0000

While I am a native of South Carolina, I am not a native of Rock Hill. But since I moved here over 6 years ago one of my favorite festivals for the Fort Mill/Rock Hill area has always been the Come See Me 10 day event. At least it is 10 days now. CSM just seems to expand and get better year after year. This will be the third year I have written a blog about Come See Me. I have been wracking my brain trying to find a witty and fun way to present this great festival. I’ve decided to cheat. It’s just too big this year to list everything they have going on. Here is the website where you can see all of the activities and download the official brochure. www.comeseeme.org

The CSM festival was first held in 1962 as a community project to invite visitors, relatives, and friends to see Rock Hill during it’s most beautiful season. It started as a weekend event and has expanded to 10 days.

The festival was the idea of its first chairman, C.H. “Ickey” Albright, former Rock Hill Mayor and State Senator, and was nurtured by nationally acclaimed illustrator Vernon Grant, a Rock Hill resident who created Rice Krispies’ gnomes, “Snap, Crackle, and Pop”. The festival’s mascot “Glen the Frog” was also created by Vernon. He actually designed over 30 different Glens. A logo representing each new festival is selected yearly.

A central focal-point of the festival has been the historic, award-winning Glencairn Garden. Created by Dr. David A. Bigger and given to Rock Hill in 1958, the garden is overflowing with azaleas, camellias, dogwoods, wisteria, and a variety of flowers and trees. It is a great celebration of spring. I can attest to the beauty of the garden as I often pick-nick with my sister, nephews and niece there.

The Come See Me Festival is considered the largest, all volunteer festival in South Carolina and attracts more than 100,000 participants and visitors every year. The festival has been ranked in the Southeast Tourism Society’s Top 20 Spring Festivals for numerous years and has also been featured in Southern Living Magazine.

It has been a beautiful spring so far in Rock Hill. Make it that much more special and make sure to enjoy one of the many activities at the 2012 Come See Me Party!

10 Steps to Home Ownership in Rock Hill-step 4

10 Steps to Home Ownership In Rock Hill

Millions of new and existing homes are sold each year. There’s no shortage of housing options, but with so many choices the challenge becomes finding the property which best meets your needs.

The housing market is complicated because the stock of homes for sale is always in flux. If it were possible to have a complete list of every home for sale at this very moment in a given community, such a list would become obsolete within hours as new homes become available and properties now for sale are put under contract.

In effect, Rock Hill and Fort Mill buyers are looking at a moving target in a marketplace that is never static. Because of this, it is important to know as much as possible about the choices in preferred markets, and the way to do that is by working closely with a local Rock Hill realtor who has a good lay of the land.

What are you looking for?

A home is more than just a collection of bedrooms and bathrooms. Several properties in Rock Hill – each with four bedrooms, three baths, and the same price — may well represent radically different designs, commuting distances, lot sizes, tax costs, interior dimensions, and exterior finishes.

Each of us is different and so it’s important to list the features and benefits you want in a home. Consider such things as pricing, location, size, amenities (extras such as a pool or extra-large kitchen) and design (one floor or two, colonial or modern, etc.).

Next, it’s important to consider your priorities. If you can’t get a home at your price with all the features you want, then what features are most important? For instance, would you trade fewer bedrooms for a larger kitchen? A longer commute for a bigger lot and lower cost?

Lastly, consider your needs in several years. If you’ll need a larger home, maybe now is the time to buy a bigger house rather than moving or expanding in the future. If you expect your income to increase, perhaps you should consider a more expensive home financed with a loan program where monthly payments increase in the future.

Where should you look?

All Rock Hill neighborhoods and communities have a special nature that gives them identity and value. One community may be well known for historic homes while another offers both suburban living as well as easy access to uptown Charlotte office areas.

Rock Hill Real Estate and Homes offers thousands of homes online. By any standard, it’s the largest source for property information, online or off. You can look at homes to contact listing brokers, and you can also search Realtor.com® to find brokers who offer buyer representation services.

How do you find a house?

Some buyers like to search REALTOR.com® by looking at listings on the basis of location or price; others prefer to have local Rock Hill realtor suggest properties; and many buyers prefer both approaches.

Regardless of your choice, it’s important to target your search. By using basic measures such as general location and affordability, you can refine your search and focus on homes that offer the most desirable features.

As a guide, you should maintain a file with information on each of the homes you like. You can print out listing pages from REALTOR.com® and then make notes for each one — what you like, questions, Rock Hill realtor contact data, etc.

10 Steps to Homeownership in Rock Hill-Step 3

wayne — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:34:47 +0000

Step 3-Get loan approval.

Few people can buy a home for cash. According to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), nearly nine out of 10 buyers finance their purchase, which means that virtually all buyers — especially first-time purchasers — required a loan. The real issue with real estate financing is not getting a loan (virtually anyone willing to pay lofty interest rates can find a mortgage). Instead, the idea is to get the loan that’s right for you — the mortgage with the lowest cost and best terms.

Rock Hill Realtors routinely suggest that consumers start the mortgage process well before bidding on a home. Many lenders (the sources of money) and programs, for example, are available right here in the finance section of Realtor.com as well as through recommendations from local Rock Hill Realtors. By meeting with lenders — either online or face to face — and looking at loan options, you will find which programs best meet your needs and how much you can afford.

Rock Hill Realtors also recommend pre approvals for another reason: Purchase forms often require buyers to apply for financing within a given time, in many cases, seven to 10 days. By meeting with loan officers in advance and identifying mortgage programs, it won’t be necessary to quickly find a lender, check credit, and rush into a financing decision that may not be the best option.

What is it?

“Pre-approval” means you have met with a loan officer, your credit files have been reviewed and the loan officer believes you can readily qualify for a given loan amount with one or more specific mortgage programs. Based on this information, the lender will provide a pre approval letter, which shows your borrowing power. You can visit as many lenders as you like and get several pre-approvals, but keep in mind that each one carries with it a new credit check, which will show up on future credit reports.

Although not a final loan commitment, the pre approval letter can be shown to listing brokers when bidding on a home. It demonstrates your financial strength and shows that you have the ability to go through with a purchase. This information is important to owners since they do not want to accept an offer that is likely to fail because financing cannot be obtained.

How do you get pre-approval?

Rock Hill real estate financing is available from numerous sources, including lenders here in the finance section of Realtor.com, mortgage companies that have worked with local REALTORS® and in some cases, individual REALTORS® themselves. Based on his or her experience, the Rock Hill REALTOR® may suggest one or more lenders with a history of offering competitive programs and delivering promised rates and terms.

The loan officer will carefully review your financial situation, including your credit report and other information. The lender will then suggest programs which most-closely meet your needs. For instance, a first-time buyer may qualify for state-backed mortgage programs with little money down and low interest rates, while a repeat purchaser (someone who has bought a home before) with more equity (money invested in the home) might want to get a 15 year loan and the lower overall interest costs it represents. Typically, Rock Hill first-time buyers opt for the traditional 30-year loan, with either a floating interest rate or a fixed rate of interest over the life of the loan.
