Myrtle Beach Real Estate

Yesterday my Color LaserJet Printer that I have had for a few years gave me a typical warning message that the drum cartridge was needing to be replaced.  So, I made my regular voyage to Officemax to pick up a new one.  Well upon arrival, I spoke with a very kind gentleman that informed me that they were discontinued.  My heart immediately sank.  When purchasing this printer about 5 years ago, it was right around $2,100.  Each cartridge ran around $120.00 each.  The worst part of the discontinue was that I had recently purchased new blue, red, & yellow cartridges.

Since I purchased those from Officemax the gentleman said I could return them for store credit.  So, I feverishly came to my office, picked them all up and returned them for store credit of $385.00!!! Since I no longer had a color printer, I was dreading having to shell out another 2K for a new one.  I asked the salesman what was available and he pointed to the HP 2600 series. They had their last two on clearance for $200.00.  So, I got a brand new printer with newer & better technology with my gift card and still had plenty left to buy toner cartridges.

I used to brag at how my old color LaserJet printed such wonderful copies.  The fact that it would make 3 color copies a minute was something I found impressive and loved to brag about as well.  The old printer was so large and weighed so much(150+lbs), it would take multiple people to carry.  To remove the old printer from my office, I had to disassemble it.  To the right was the last picture taken of my old color laser printer.  All of the parts filled up the entire back of my vehicle.

The new printer has many advantages over the old one.  First, it prints much faster at 8PPM color.  Secondly, it is much lighter in weight.  The new design is also much more sleek in appearance. The size is almost half that of the old one.  I used to have to use 2 filing cabinets pushed together to sit the old printer on because it was too large to sit on my desk. The cartridges are also much less in money and have a much higher yield (2,000 pages per cartridge)  The old cartridges yield was half.  Instead of each cartridges costing $120.00 each they are only $82.99 for each of the new ones.

Unfortunately, many agents look at real estate the same way I looked at my old printer.  I did not want to change printers.  It was working wonderfully for me, cost a lot of money, and I was comfortable in using it.

The Blanton Team however are not REALTORS afraid of change.  Dennis & Jeremy keep current on changes in the local & national market.  They are constantly looking for new ways to increase their business and keep up to date with current market trends.  

Recent studies show that 85% of all buyers & sellers search the internet first before contacting an agent.  That is why The Blanton Team can be found on over 20 different websites.  Another recent trend is that clients want to get to know agents first through blogs.  The Blanton Team have met that need by being a participating member of one of the largest real estate networks in the world, Activerain.
