Want to Be the COOLEST Grandparents Ever?

Charlotte 55 Plus Communities Posted on by
My father was a gadget guy. Long before smart phones were an option, I remember him having the first pager, the latest and greatest DVD player or stereo, and even a laptop computer. He was 100 years old when he died and his room was FULL of cool electronics. My kids thought he was the coolest guy around! Staying home during the COVID-19 pandemic can make it challenging to stay in touch with loved ones, especially the younger generations who rely on texting and social media to communicate. From experience, we know that while we enjoy talking on the phone, our teenage granddaughters prefer to video chat!
With that in mind, we thought it might be fun to use this extra time we have at home during the upcoming weeks to conduct an experiment. We are going connect with our grandkids on their preferred platforms instead of ours! We’ve listed some of the social media apps popular with our granddaughters below. We’ve tried a few and feel the need to warn you that what comes easily to the kids doesn’t always seem as obvious to us. But, when we encountered technical difficulties, the kids got on the phone and walked us through it. Honestly, it was fun for them to be the experts for a change! Why don’t you join us? Let’s all try it! Who knows…maybe we will all become the coolest grandparents ever!
Texting
If you are not already texting your grandkids, we highly recommend it! We hear from our grandkids several times a week via text. We even have a “Family Chat” that we created with our entire immediate family. We all use this group chat to share news and pictures with each other regularly. It is a fun and easy way for the kids to keep in touch with us on a platform they are comfortable using every day.
Bitmoji
If texting is new to you and you aren’t up for trying a new social media app, you can set up a Bitmoji. A bitmoji is a digital sticker you design to look like you. Then you can select stickers with your image that have different messages on them such as “Good Luck” or “Congratulations” or “Happy Birthday.” This is a fun way to add something to your texts without having to learn about a new app altogether. My 12 year old granddaughter helped me set up my Bitmoji and taught me how to add it to my text messages.
Video Chat
If you and your grandkids have iPhones, Facetime is the easiest way to video chat with them. You can call them and just switch the call to a FaceTime call. If all of you do not use IPhones, the best app to use to video chat is Skype. Just like other apps, you can download the app to your Smartphone, create an account, and off you go!
Instagram
You may already have a Facebook page. Unfortunately, the younger generations do not use Facebook. They see it as an antiquated and old social media app. The good news is, Instagram works almost in the same way as Facebook. Simply download the app and create a private account. Then, search for your family member or friends and “follow” them. This is the same as being friends on Facebook. You will see anything they post in your news feed. Similarly, they will “follow” you back. Then, anything you post will be seen by them in their news feed. Instagram also offers video chat and private messaging (Direct Message or DM) options.This is the same as Facebook Messenger.  For some reason, kids prefer to DM within the Instagram app instead of texting directly. If you want to be extra cool, try it!
Snapchat
Snap chat offers a way to send pictures and short videos immediately to an individual or group of recipients. Again, you create a private account and “friend” your family members or friends on the app. Then, you snap a selfie or quick video and send it to them. The app offers options to add text, stickers, and filters to your pictures. Kids LOVE to snapchat. They like sharing selfies and quick comments on video even more than they like texting!
TikTok
You may have heard of TikTok. This is a social media app where people share short videos, often with music, dance moves or comments on the screen. You can share videos with friends and to the wider community. When we suggested that Grandpa try using TikTok, our granddaughters were all in, claiming that he might go “viral” if he did a dance video! What a fun way to interact and share an interest with your grandkids on a platform they use every day! We know this is a long list – so just try one to start and see how it goes! If you need help getting started, we’ve posted some “Getting Started on Social Media” Tips for your reference. Please share how it goes with us on our Facebook (www.facebook.com/Team Pogue) or Instagram (@teampogue). We’d love to hear from you!

Social Media Tips

Charlotte 55 Plus Communities Posted on by
If you need help getting set up on these apps, you can always call or video chat with your grandkids and ask them for their guidance. They love giving advice!
Skype
Skype is an app that allows you to video chat with people whether they have Apple or non-Apple devices. Skype is available for phones, tablets, PCs and Macs. And, it’s free.
  1. Download the app and create an account.

Once they accept your request, they will ask to follow you back. Just like Facebook, you have to approve their follow request.
  4. To approve follow requests, click on the my account icon at the bottom right of the screen. At the top of the screen, you will see “Posts”, “Followers” and “Following” at the top. If you click on followers, then click on “Follow Requests” at the top of the page, you will be able to approve followers.
  5. To create a post, simply click on the “plus” icon at the bottom of the screen. You can select a photo or multiple photos and add a short comment, much like Facebook.

SnapChat
  1. Download Snapchat from your app store to your smart phone.
  2. When you open the app, it will prompt you to SIGN UP. Follow the prompts and select a username and password when prompted.
  3. Once your account is set up, the app will ask you to allow access to your contacts to find friends. Say NO. Later, you can search for your family members on SnapChat by their username or phone number.
  4. Once you have selected your friends, you can take a selfie, add text and decorations and then send it. When you hit “send,” the app will allow you to select friends and send your picture.
Tips:
  • Once you take a picture, select the options on the right side of the screen to add Text or Stickers to your photo.
  • To take a video, hold down on the button while you talk.
  • To add a cool filter, tap the screen before you take your picture. Filter options will show up along the bottom of the screen and you can select one. You may have to share your location before using filters.
  • If you have a Bitmoji, you can sync your Bitmoji to your Snapchat profile. Go to the settings gear at the top right of your screen to manage your account.

Your Resource for Active Adult Living

Charlotte 55 Plus Communities Posted on by

At Team Pogue, we specialize in working with Active Adults and the 55+ market. As active adults ourselves, we understand your perspective. That is why everyone on our team has gone the extra mile to earn professional designations that make us uniquely qualified to work with seniors. Both Laura & Andrea are accredited Certified Senior Advisors (CSA), a designation which requires individuals to pass a rigorous exam and to uphold the highest ethical standards for the benefit and protection of the health and welfare of seniors. This designation is awarded only to real estate agents who have additional education on how to help seniors and their families with later in life transactions.

Team Pogue works with clients not just in Sun City, but in other active adult communities nearby. We have helped clients evaluate their options and have even assisted some clients in moving from one active adult community to another for a better fit. We understand buyers have a lot of options available. In fact, we have had this website dedicated just to the 55 plus market since 2016. This site is full of information about all of the 55 plus communities in the Charlotte area, helping active adult buyers learn about all of their options and make a decision that works for their lifestyle.

All of our team members live, work, and play in Sun City Carolina Lakes. If you have a question about this community or the active adult market in general, give us a call. Chances are we have asked the same questions ourselves!

Back to School Isn’t Just for Kids!

Charlotte 55 Plus Communities Posted on by
We are ALL Lifelong Learners!

September is back to school time, and not just for kids! Active adults are taking advantage of courses and classes for a myriad of reasons – not the least of which is that it’s fun!

We’ve all known that friend or family member who “stayed sharp” well into their later years doing the daily crossword puzzle or playing bridge each week. Not surprisingly, there is something to that idea. Research shows that older adults can benefit both physically and mentally by continuing to learn throughout their lives. And the trends show that active adults are taking advantage of lifelong learning opportunities across the country.

Community college courses spring to mind immediately. Not only do they offer a wide range of opportunities from everything from computer classes to guitar, they often offer discounted or even free tuition to students aged 60 or older. However, most active adults prefer a more informal learning environment rather than a formal classroom. For that reason, many courses are offered through community centers, libraries & clubs.

If you are interested in staying sharp, but you aren’t the classroom type. Don’t worry – there are many other options for you. Hands on learning is appealing to 9 out of 10 older Americans, according to an AARP survey. Perhaps you can help a neighbor learn to knit or your friend can help you build something at the woodworking shop. You can help tutor a grandchild or local teenager – and in return perhaps they can help you figure out how to work an app on your phone that has been giving you trouble. Volunteering at a local charity can also pair educational and service opportunities. If you are more social, start up a supper club and share new recipes with the members.

At school these days, educators are talking about creating lifelong learners. It seems the experts are realizing that we are constantly learning – whether its a new skill required for employment, an activity with a new group of friends, or a hobby that we always wanted to try – the opportunities for lifelong learning are endless.

Continuing Education Opportunities for Seniors

Winthrop University – Seniors over 60 attend tuition free.

Anne Close Greenway – SC Master Naturalist Program and Special Interest Courses

York Tech – Continuing education in tech, CPR, personal, even online options.

USC Lancaster – Indian Land Campus – Evening Classes at ILHS

SCCL Men’s Softball Club Takes on the ILHS Lady Warriors…Again!

Charlotte 55 Plus Communities Posted on by

Softball was one of the HOTTEST things in Sun City Memorial Day weekend. Despite the 90 degree weather, a crowd of over 400 showed up to cheer on the Sun City Senior Softball Team play against the Indian Land High School Lady Warriors. The exhibition game was fun for everyone and it was great to see spectators and players alike laughing and smiling throughout the game. During the final inning, everyone was entertained when the 70+ men attempted to hit the girls’ fast pitching. Most of the Lady Warriors in the outfield sat down for a break while the men tried to make contact with the ball! However, the men turned the tables during the second half of the inning when they served up slow pitches to the Lady Warriors. The girls had a hard time waiting for the slow pitched balls to make it to the plate and made very little contact with the balls. Their Coach, Monica Barfield, even took a turn at bat and was a good sport as she struck out! The Lady Warriors won their Division and Region this year and made it all the way to the State Championships, however, they are happy they don’t play slow pitch softball! We are thrilled that $742 was raised passing the hat around the bleachers, funds were raised with concession sales, and Team Pogue was proud to donate $250 bringing the total proceeds to over $1000, all of which benefit the Indian Land High School Lady Warriors. Thanks to the Sun City Men’s Softball Club for planning this annual exhibition and fundraiser, an event everyone in the community can look forward to each year!

Is Using a Real Estate Agent EXPEN$IVE?

Charlotte 55 Plus Communities Posted on by

We recently were representing a seller and we received an offer on their home – through an online home buying service. At first, the offer just seemed low – but then we realized the fees involved with accepting this already low offer would be more than double a typical realtor commission – PLUS repairs!  Fortunately, we were able to find another buyer and the seller did not feel pressured to consider the online offer. But, it started a conversation in our office. Why would buyers and sellers use online realty services rather than working with an agent?

First, we should clarify that there are several types of realty services being offered online. We have put them into 3 categories:

  1. “A La Carte” Realty Services
  2. “Home Buying” Services
  3. Trade-In services

 

A La Carte Services

A La Carte realty services are attractive to buyers and sellers who are confident they can sell or purchase their own home without needing the assistance of a local agent. For some people, these services will work. Just be aware that for the lower fees, you are agreeing to take on the hassle factor and responsibility that your agent usually manages.

In many cases, the main service being provided through an a la carte realtor is getting your home listed in MLS. Sellers may still be responsible for all of their own marketing expenses. Usually, sellers have to schedule their own showings and negotiate their own contract. In other cases, the a la carte agent is paid a salary and has no incentive to help you sell your home quickly or for the best price. Depending on how much you are doing on your own, the risk here can be great if you don’t have someone with knowledge of your state’s real estate laws and requirements helping you with your transaction.

Home Buying Services

The online Home Buying services offer the advantage of a quick sale. Typically, they purchase your home, do repairs, and then put it back on the market. You can expect that if you sell your home through a local agent or if you use an online home buying service, the same buyer will likely purchase your home in the end. The difference is that instead of you, the home buying service owns your home during the marketing period.

This may be attractive to some sellers – just make sure you know all of the costs involved. After doing some quick research about these services you should be aware of a few things we noticed. You can expect to be paid a lower price for your home and to incur additional fees on top of an average 7% real estate commission, in some cases resulting in fees that double the commission you would pay a real estate agent. These additional fees are compensation to the service for the time they expect to own your home while it is marketed for sale. Also, you will be responsible for paying for any repairs they require.

Trade In Services

The trade-in services reminded us of trading in your car. You identify a home you would like to buy and they offer you a trade-in price for your home and help you sell and buy a new home in one transaction.

How do the online options compare to using your local realtor?

Buyers and Sellers are attracted to online realtor services because they believe it will cost them less and that realtors charge for many unnecessary services. So, we decided it might be important to share what services our agents DO charge for and what you might be paying for using an online service.

First of all, when you work with Team Pogue to sell your home, we typically include a 6% real estate commission in our contract. That commission is split between the listing agent (Team Pogue) and the agent representing the buyer. That is the only fee you pay your agent to sell your home. Compared to the online services, the only other fee you will pay for is repairs. These will be negotiated through your agent to help you pay a fair and reasonable cost for any repairs needed.

Typically, if you list your home with Team Pogue, we cover all of the marketing expenses UP FRONT to help you sell your home. For example, we hire a photographer to take professional photographs of your home, we create an online virtual tour and post it online to prospective buyers and agents to view, we list your home in MLS, we advertise your home online, we print brochures to leave at your home, and more. We will host open houses, community tours, and send out targeting advertising to help market your home and others we have for sale. All of the marketing expenses are paid for by your agent BEFORE your home is sold. We also incur other marketing expenses that are not specifically related to your home, but do include your home for sale such as our website, online ads, signs, and ads in local publications. We are only reimbursed for these expenses out of the listing agent’s commission once your transaction has closed.

We also provide a secure, electronic lockbox to monitor all agents who access your home for showings.We have noticed that some iBuyer companies use a new tech & sensor option to allow unescorted showings for properties.  Would you want a stranger to gain access to your home via automated door lock/sensor and then tour it without anyone there to supervise?  Just one more reason to hire an agent. 

In addition to marketing your home for sale and providing a secure way to monitor potential buyers touring your home, Team Pogue provides many other services that help you with your transaction.

  • We offer invaluable advice and expertise on the local market and how to position your home to sell.
  • We know what homes are available and whether or not there are pocket listings that meet your criteria. We have relationships with agents and can help negotiate the best terms on your behalf.
  • Our agents have completed rigorous licensing and continuing education requirements to become Certified Senior Advisors, which helps them provide personalized service to our clients who are active adults and seniors. They are knowledgable about state laws that govern real estate transactions.
  • We offer professional photography services, virtual home tours, staging advice, custom flyers, and marketing services.
  • We utilize services to schedule showings and coordinate repairs – removing the hassle factor from your list of things to do.
  • Our agents prequalify buyers so that only qualified prospects will be previewing your home. 
  • We have relationships and a network of agents who specialize in our local market and can connect prospective buyers with homes they are looking for.
  • Our team has been working in Indian Land for over ten years. Our agents are licensed and familiar with the particular nuances of the real estate market in our community. We know what issues can be a cause for concern and how to navigate those issues throughout the entire transaction.
  • Our team lives, works and plays in Indian Land, so we have a personal stake in this community. We want the best for our clients because they are also our neighbors.

 

Things to Consider

Bottom line, we know buyers and sellers have many options available to them as they consider their real estate transaction. And, we realize that every client has different needs and goals. Here are just a few things we will leave you with to consider if you are looking into an online service.

  • At first glance, these services may seem less expensive. However, beware of getting nickeled and dimed by hidden fees that may not be obvious at first. You may end up paying for costs (in time and in money) not even mentioned in your contract at all. In every case, there is a trade off between the services provided and cost to you. Is the savings worth the hassle factor?
  • You may have access to a licensed agent, but they aren’t familiar with your particular market and the buyers and sellers who participate in it. They are limited to what they can find in an online search. Do you need an agent to do that for you?
  • If you have bought or sold a home before, you may feel it isn’t worth paying an agent to help negotiate a deal for you or to manage the sales process. This might be true if everything goes smoothly in your transaction. However, this is rarely the case. There are always repairs to negotiate, emotions involved, financing issues and state laws which govern real estate transactions to consider. Is the savings worth the hassle factor?
  • If there are issues or problems, your deal may be at risk if there are delays. You may have to do extra research to find solutions to a problem or contact contractors or vendors to get the deal done. Our agents negotiate transactions every day. We have relationships with vendors when we need something done quickly and we know who to contact when there are problems with specific builders or communities. Your transaction may not be delayed at all if you are working with a knowledgable agent who is familiar with the area and potential roadblocks to getting a deal done in your community.

 

If you are considering utilizing an online service, please also consider making an appointment with an agent before making a decision. Our team will be happy to meet with you at your convenience and help you compare the fees and services being offered. As always, we strive to provide Real Estate with a Personal Touch!
