Hey everyone. Hope you are having a great Tuesday. We just returned from the Daniel Island Club for the 2009 Realtor (R) of Distinction award ceremony. I was recognized in the Executive Circle, the highest level awarded. I was one of only 30 recipients out of the entire board of 4,751 members to be recognized for this award. This was a great year for Drew Sineath & Associates and it has a pleasure to have my team with me at the ceremony. Without them, none of this would be possible.

Thank you Marea Clark, our closing coordinator, for being the pillar of strength that you are. You are the backbone of this office.

Thank you Andrea Parler, one of our buyer’s associates, for joining our team and striving to help us grow and become the best team in the Charleston Market.

Thank you Kristen Lanier, our marketing coordinator and new listing coordinator, for taking on a new challenge and bringing new ideas to help us adapt to innovation.

Thank you Jeanne Snoza, one of our buyer’s associates, for always working as hard as you do. We missed you today at the luncheon but your positive nature was there in spirit.  

I really enjoyed hearing keynote speaker, Andra L. Watkins from Positus Consulting, give 10 Ways to Succeed in 2010. It was a pleasure to see all my fellow Realtors(R): Chip Reese, Kimberly Lease, Ann Wahlan, Stephaine Monte, and Gary McGuckin. Congratualtions to all my fellow Realtors (R). Keep it up and let’s make 2010 another great year.

Check us out on Facebook to see the comments of this award from our community. As always, stay safe and stay healthy.

Kristen Lanier, Listing/Marketing Coordinator

The total number of listings on the market decreased at the beginning of 2010 compared to 2009 by almost 14% brining our total inventory down to close to a 12-month supply. A balanced market only has a 5-6 month supply of homes available. And while we are clearly still in a “buyers market” the inventory numbers are starting to reflect a more balanced picture in the market.  Affordable home prices, low interest rates and the first-time home buyers tax credit has all helped reduce supply. We are actually starting to see dual offers being made on several of our listings!

We are looking to possibly move our event schedule around for 2010. Originally we planned to attend the Flowertown Festival in March and do our HomeBuyer Workshop in May. We are looking to move up the homebuyer workshop to March. We’ll keep you posted! Make sure to follow us on Facebook, Linked In, Active Rain and Twitter. As always stay safe and be blessed!

We had a fabulous 2009 with over 63 transaction sides closed for over $11 million in sales. This concluded my best year in the business. We had a very successful 3^rd Annual Fall Festival with over 1,400 attendees, raising over 1,100 pounds of food and $400 in cash for the Helping Hands of Goose Creek. We added a new buyer’s representative, Andrea Parler, over the summer. We also administered our first ever Home Buyer Seminar. We had 29 attendees. Of the 29 attendees, three of these buyers have already purchased a home!

We have set the bar high for 2010. We are setting a goal of over 90 transaction sides closed for over $16 million. We will once again host our annual Fall Festival, October 23, 2010. We will also administer a Home Buyer Seminar, May 8, in connection with Family Services at the Goose Creek Recreation Center. We have also planned outdoor events starting this week. Drew Sineath & Associates will be at the 1^st Annual Riverfront Race Festival in North Charleston this Friday from 5-8. If you plan to race this Saturday come out Friday to pick up your packet early and stop by our booth. We will have a fantastic giveaway and some great things to do for the kids. So COME BY!

Drew Sineath & Associates will be attending the annual Flowertown Festival in Summerville for the first time this year. The event is in March this year for the first time, running from March 26-28. Come by our booth for some great door prizes and activities! Our final event before the Fall Festival will be the final Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series race in August.
