I had contacted Tony Bailey weeks ago when I was looking for a buyer’s agent, so I went by Palmetto Heritage Reality in Laurens today, and we made a short list o f houses to look at.  Tony sold Cindy her house, and knew  her sisters.  In fact all the people in the office knew more about my relatives than I do.  I told the older guy my name, and he said Oh, you here for the reunion?  Anyway, there is this house at 203 Bailey St in downtown

Clinton…an older house, it’s a nice neighborhood of older well kept homes, with big oaks all over the place…it’s vacant, not bank owned, had a new roof, new vinyl siding, central heat and air, done 8 years ago.  Had termite treatment two years ago.  Has a nice fenced back yard, with oak trees, and one big oak out front.  There are sidewalks, you can walk to shopping.  There is a church across the street.  It’s a couple of  blocks from the police station.  There is a free county medical clinic down the block.  It’s near the old mill.  The water heater is new.  The bathroom  is new.  The kitchen counter tops are new.  There is a laundry porch with hook-ups.  Nine foot ceilings, ceiling fans.  Two bedrooms and a parlor.Needs new carpet and interior paint. Might be hardwoods under the  carpet, probably is, since the place is over 50 years old.  The listings says there’s a fridge, but there isn’t.  There is a shed out back.  It has new vinyl storm windows.  Public water and a new sewer line.  City  electric.0.2 acres, an old city lot.  Tony is going to have their guy go crawl under the house and do a verbal prelem on old termite damage and repair or lack

of repair, and go ahead with a regular inspection if I go ahead and make an offer tomarrow.  The owner is asking $27,900.  It’s pretty much what  I’ve been picturing since I started this thing, in a zip code I have researched. Anybody who wants can go see it Thursday, Friday, or from the reunion? There, you all know as much about it as I do.  I like it, and think I’m going to buy it, I’ve got enough cash easy.
