Venting A Range Hood in Your Sumter Home
Posted By: Kim PeasleyParker In: Home Projects and Gardening
Ever since moving into this house, I have wanted an exhaust hood that actually vented to the outside! Thanks to my old microwave not heating food the way it should my dream has come true!
Last Saturday we stopped at our favorite appliance store, Ard’s Appliance. Ard’s is a local Sumter business who offers great service from the knowledgable owners and son, free delivery, and a wide variety of brands. We had the microwave in a matter of minutes loaded into the back of the vehicle and were headed home.
Sunday afternoon was the install day. I was the helper for the day and was pleased with how easy my husband seemed to make it! We did the prep work while our daughter napped and then...

Paint Meet Crayon
Posted By: Kim PeasleyParker In: Seller Information
You know that distinctive sound. The sound a crayon makes when a child uses it on a hard surface like a door or wall. A hollow sound, just like the hollow feeling you have in the pit of your stomach. That whirrrr whirrrr sounds to your ears makes my stomach do whirrrr whirrrr flip flops.
Thank goodness for that wonderful invention of washable crayons and markers. But even with those, not 100% of the color and crayon are removed from some surfaces.
So thus, as my daughter Madeline has discovered crayons and the walls, so begins my search for ways to remove crayons from paint. I found a great list of 21 Ways to Remove Wax Crayons from Tipnut.com.
In my house my first...

Why are Rents so High?
Posted By: Kim PeasleyParker In: Buyer Information
I will be up front with you about this post, it was generated based upon a bad experience of an agent in our office. She had been showing a possible tenant rentals, when he fly into a tirade in her office about how expensive rentals were when base housing allowance was $X and he needed a larger place because he had a large family. Rent prices in any area comes down to supply and demand. You remember the concept that was taught in our high school economics class. It applies to the real estate market for buying and selling properties as well as renting properties.
Sumter is experiencing an increase in demand that is higher than the available rentals. This isn’t uniques to Sumter eithe...

Renting in Sumter
Posted By: Kim PeasleyParker In: Buyer Information
The rental market in Sumter is HOT right now. Many service members who are being stationed at Shaw are choosing to rent due to their short stay at Shaw. There are many options available for rentals in the Sumter area. Rentals include single family homes, duplexes and apartment complexes.
I have been asked many times by renters the procedure and what is required to rent a property. Through many of the Real Estate Brokerages, a renter must complete a rental application and have a credit report pulled for review. This normally does include in $35 fee for the credit report.
Most larger apartment complexes have their own rental offices with their own staffs and real estate ...

Thank You Buyer's Agent
Posted By: Kim PeasleyParker In: Buyer Information
First, I need to thank a real estate agent who will remain anonymous. This agent had a buyer and sold one of my listings. I was present for the home inspection as I didn’t know if my seller was going to be home or not. I followed the home inspector and buyer around the property and listened to the comments and any issues that arose. Since the buyer and seller were both present I introduced them and they became fast friends. (Yes, I know this isn’t the normal thing to happen, but it did.)
Then it happened, one day I was working and my phone rang. It was my seller. Cool, we were getting close to closing on the property and needed to discuss that last few details. To my surpr...

Why I like Sumter
Posted By: Kim PeasleyParker In: Activities In and Around Sumter
Why I like living in Sumter.....
Every town has its good and bad points. I have lived in enough towns to know that. But last week it really hit me about what I like about living in Sumter. We always talk about how Sumter has some of the box stores and restaurants of the larger towns, but still maintains that small town feel.
This was proven to me again by an afternoon of being out with my daughter. Before I even left the house, there was a police car at the end of the driveway. I was putting Maddie into her car seat and saw it pull up out of the corner of my eye. I turned and looked and the young officer greeted me. Then he said “You don’t remember me?” Then it dawned on me it ...

This park is almost a city block and is surround partially with a brick and iron fencing. The park features a 1/3 mile walking trail around it and a large center walk way leading up to covered area. Sure this has a name but not sure the proper name!.jpg "Sumter Memorial Park Sumter Real Estate")
There is a nice play area for the kids with a slide area for smaller tots and a larger triple slide for 5 to 12 year olds as the sign says, but I have seen an adult on there! There are two sets of swings, one with child safety seats and the second with regular swings.
