Greenville Realtor Sees Growth During Uncertain Times

    GREENVILLE, SC, May 03, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Cameron Keegan began his career as a Greenville, SC Realtor with Prudential C. Dan Joyner in 2003, and even during difficult times, his business continues to thrive. It is no surprise that 2009 was one of the more difficult years for the real estate industry in recent history, yet Cameron Keegan enjoyed his best year yet, increasing sales by 46% compared to 2008.

"I attribute a lot of my success to an increase in marketing, which is an area typically cut during difficult times. I not only increased my presence on the Internet, but also in local print publications," said Mr. Keegan.

Cameron Keegan's Greenville SC homes for sale can be found in both the Greenville News and the Greenville Journal, the four major Greenville SC real estate magazines, and on more than 35 real estate websites.

"GreenvilleMOVES.com is my personal website, where buyers and sellers can find a plethora of information from my featured listings to over 8,000 Greenville SC homes currently available. The visitor can even review more than 7 years of sales data including average days on market, price trends, and number of homes sold. I compiled the data myself using the Greenville SC MLS."

Mr. Keegan finds that many of the people purchasing homes in the Greenville area are relocating to the Upstate from outside of the area, which he says is "a true testament to the way Greenville, SC has become a great place to live, work, and play. More than 4,000 unique visitors from 1,453 different cities in 30 different countries have come to my website since January 1st."

Whether or not home sales in 2009 were the start of a rebound for the Greenville market remains to be seen. When asked about his outlook for 2010, Cameron Keegan states, "it's hard to tell this early in the year, but my first quarter sales showed a 28% increase over the same time in 2009, and my closings already scheduled for 2nd quarter represent a 42% increase over 2nd quarter 2009. I believe the buyers out there understand that it was more than just a tax credit, and we are unlikely to see interest rates like this again for some time, if ever."

In fact, comparing today's average rate to just 18 months ago, someone purchasing a $200,000 home will save approximately $1,500 per year. "Rates are not going to stay this low forever, and some people may find themselves disappointed for missing the boat if they don't act now," says Keegan.

Cameron Keegan is a Realtor with more than 7 years experience with Greenville SC homes for sale, and has helped more than 125 buyers and sellers accomplish their real estate goals.
