00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:06.530
Welcome to Spotlight for Success by American Book Company.
00:00:06.530 --> 00:00:14.428
We are here at the South Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics with Marsha Neal, with Carolina One Real Estates.
00:00:14.428 --> 00:00:16.071
Welcome, Marsha.
00:00:16.352 --> 00:00:16.733
Thank you.
00:00:18.001 --> 00:00:22.391
Can you tell us a little bit about what brought you here to SCCTM?
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.629
Sure, I am a teacher and a realtor.
00:00:25.629 --> 00:00:31.411
So I teach middle school in Charleston, south Carolina, and I've been a realtor for one year.
00:00:32.493 --> 00:00:36.284
Wow, and so what brought you into?
00:00:36.284 --> 00:00:39.792
What are some things in the classroom you're currently teaching.
00:00:40.093 --> 00:00:40.292
Yes.
00:00:40.552 --> 00:00:47.694
All right, and so what kind of things have you brought or that you're hoping to get out of this conference dealing with teaching?
00:00:48.581 --> 00:00:49.706
I'm actually on the board.
00:00:49.706 --> 00:00:57.793
So I've helped set up and I'm helping run the SCCTM and NCTM booth.
00:00:57.793 --> 00:01:00.247
And then I also have my real estate booth.
00:01:00.247 --> 00:01:04.811
We're trying to open up the home ownership to teachers across the state.
00:01:04.811 --> 00:01:11.739
So we have numerous programs through Carolina One that can help teachers with down payment assistance programs.
00:01:11.739 --> 00:01:20.341
So by coming here, where it's all teachers, I'm able to give them information that they might not get elsewhere.
00:01:21.242 --> 00:01:22.084
That's wonderful.
00:01:22.084 --> 00:01:31.346
Do you have any stories to share about a particular situation where you felt like you were able to be really helpful with RealtyOne?
00:01:31.986 --> 00:01:36.388
Yep, I just helped get a first-time home buyer into a brand new home.
00:01:36.567 --> 00:01:36.909
Wow.
00:01:36.969 --> 00:01:41.003
She actually stopped looking because she got discouraged, because she didn't think she made enough money.
00:01:41.003 --> 00:01:47.795
But then with some new builds, there's a lot of incentives that people don't know about.
00:01:47.795 --> 00:01:51.932
If they're not using a realtor, they're not able to know about these incentive programs.
00:01:51.932 --> 00:01:56.572
So we were able to get her into a brand new house for cheaper than she was paying her rent.
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.649
Wow, that is a success story, right there.
00:01:59.649 --> 00:02:01.847
Wow, how incredible is that.
00:02:01.847 --> 00:02:03.507
And so you're doing that, day in, day out.
00:02:03.528 --> 00:02:03.709
yes.
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:05.545
Helping people like her.
00:02:05.545 --> 00:02:07.531
Fantastic, that's great.
00:02:07.531 --> 00:02:11.649
And so how does that work within your realty team?
00:02:14.741 --> 00:02:22.453
I have loan officers that work with us and we just pair up and try to get the information out to as many people as we can.
00:02:22.901 --> 00:02:27.866
Okay, that's awesome, and I understand that one of your compadres is here, is that?
00:02:27.887 --> 00:02:28.027
correct.
00:02:28.027 --> 00:02:30.275
Yes, cCasey's here with me today.
00:02:30.275 --> 00:02:41.741
I did want to mention that, even though we're located in Charleston, we have referral programs, so if you contact me, I can help get you into a house, no matter where you live, even if you're in a whole nother country or state.
00:02:41.741 --> 00:03:03.008
Oh wow, the Palmetto Heroes program is only for teachers, nurses, certain professions that are considered like firemen, police officers, and that usually opens up in March, so, but that's $12,000 to $15,000 of a down payment assistant that the state offers to the heroes in the state.
00:03:03.348 --> 00:03:04.953
What is the website for that?
00:03:05.655 --> 00:03:05.975
They can.
00:03:05.975 --> 00:03:07.881
Just my website is movingwithmarshaneal.
00:03:07.881 --> 00:03:13.981
com, so they can go on there and contact me and I can get them everything they need to know.
00:03:14.342 --> 00:03:15.806
Okay, is that .com or ?
00:03:16.687 --> 00:03:17.329
Yes, .com movingwithmarshaneal.
00:03:17.329 --> 00:03:18.992

00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.008
