In our years of experience selling real estate, we have easily walked through more than a thousand homes for sale in the Charleston, SC area.  Some homes are very well staged for showings, and you can tell that the home owners have really taken care of the home and have made good improvements to it.  And, the money that the owners spent to update or improve the home should be paid back in full (and maybe with some profit) when they sell it.

As gas prices continue to rise and health concerns continue to mount, walking may be the key to both difficulties. As you walk you save money and save your life.

As oil prices continue to rise, gas prices have skyrocketed. Now we find prices rising above $4.10 per gallon. With this rise, all of us are feeling the pinch as we are forced to drive through our daily activities. Many of us are required to drive to get to work or even to go to the store for required food items.

Whether you call it ‘karma’ or ‘goodwill’ or whatever, giving to those who need some extra help is a great way to give yourself some warm fuzzies, and improve the image of your dental practice.

One of the most important business and personal finance lessons I ever learned was this from Dan Kennedy:

The Hole You Give Through Is Equivalent to the Hole You Receive Through.

So, what does that mean exactly? What it means is that if you are a stingy “giver,” the laws of the universe dictate that you will be the last to receive, and you will also receive the least.

When you’re looking at homes to buy, be sure to keep in mind the basic real estate principles of progression and regression.  In a nutshell, these principles state that it is better to buy a lower priced home in a neighborhood of varying real estate prices. 

In a neighborhood where home prices vary, the lower priced homes will increase in value because of the higher priced homes.  The more expensive homes raise the property value of the less expensive homes.  This idea is called the principle of progression.
