The Lake Murray Fourth of July Fireworks Show is set to happen this Saturday. The organizers plan on starting the show at dusk, which they anticipate to be around 9:15 PM.

If you’re interested in watching the fireworks over Lake Murray, there are a few things you need to know. As of writing this article, the Lexington-side parking lot at the Lake Murray dam is closed and, from our understanding, will not be open for parking on Saturday. The Irmo-side parking lot at the Lake Murray dam is currently open and is planned to be open for parking on Saturday. Note that there is a $5.00 fee to park. The parking lot attendants will be allowing cars to enter on a first come to capacity basis. Arrive early if you want to get a good spot! In addition, you can venture out to Dreher Island or Spence Island to watch the show. Each year many people take their boats to the water to view the spectacular show.

It is important to note that the boat parade will not take place this year. Due to issues surrounding the pandemic, the parade is cancelled. According to other sources, the organizers do plan on hosting the parade during next year’s Independence Day event.

No matter which lake location you choose, be sure to be safe and enjoy your evening. We wish you a happy Independence Day. If you get any awesome photos of your freedom celebration at Lake Murray, send them over to our J King Real Estate Facebook page and we’ll include them in our 4th of July celebration collage.

When you’re ready to find your next home, you’ll probably begin by looking online or driving around a neighborhood that you like. Then, you’ll begin to look for real estate agents that may be able to help you find the exact house of which you’re dreaming. You may hear a phrase that’s fairly common at the beginning of the buying process, “are you pre-qualified for a mortgage?”. Allow us a moment to explain how getting pre-qualified actually helps you find your dream home.

We would love to talk with you about your home buying needs. Our brokerage works with different lending specialists on a daily basis. Working with these specialists helps us build our relationships. If you would like to meet someone that can help you get pre-approved, please feel free to reach out to us for a personal referral or call your own lender.

When you work with a lending specialist to get pre-approval, or pre-qualified, it provides you a great deal of information about your current situation. This information can be used to your advantage when trying to figure out which home to make an offer. The website Money.com has published a very detailed guide that helps you answer the question, "How much house can I afford?".

The lending specialist helps you understand your current position and explains how much buying power you have. One of the perks for using a lending specialist is they understand the loan products that are being offered in the area where you’re looking. Some products offer different terms, different closing costs, and even different down payment options. When you’re looking to make such a large purchase, you want to make sure that you understand your options; this gives you and the seller a piece of mind.

Once a lending specialist helps you understand your buying power, your real estate agent can help you create the search to find your dream home. Once you’re pre-approved, you and your real estate agent will have a better position when you negotiate the offer.

Finally, a lending specialist helps you understand how to improve your buying power. Sometimes life gets in the way and we have debt that we’re working to pay off. A lending specialist can sometimes offer you advice about which debts to pay off before others. Different lending companies consider debts in different ways. If you are working on paying off debts, there is no need to worry.

At J. King Real Estate, we invite you to begin with the end in mind. Getting a pre-approval letter from a lender can give you the information you need and deserve to have a successful home searching process. Lending specialists play a critical role in helping you understand how much buying power you currently hold. The right one can also help you realize what you need to work on financially to be ready for a new mortgage. Knowing this information, coupled with the right real estate agent, can put you in a great position to buy your new home. Reach out to us for a personal referral to a lending specialist and find out how much buying power you hold.

Are you just like the rest of us, looking for somewhere to sit down and enjoy a meal? We have all experienced cabin fever during this COVID-19 pandemic. As our South Carolina Governor works his #AccelerateSC plan, we are right here supporting our local businesses. Here is a list of restaurants that we have talked to recently. These are all local to the Irmo area and are serving diners outside or on their outdoor patios. We will update this list as more information becomes available. If you know someone that is open for outdoor dining, and is not already on this list, please reach out to us and submit their name.

As we called and talked to each of these restaurants, each wanted us to know that they're taking every precaution necessary to keep their customers, staff, and products safe during this reopening. Many cited that they have checklists of what the CDC, SCDHEC, and SC Governor all recommend as safety precautions and that they're currently using them to conduct business. One of these precautions are single-use, or to-go, containers being used instead of traditional dining sets (like plates, silverware, and cups/glasses). Of course, they're taking precautions by having their servers wear masks and follow proper hand washing procedures. Their goal is to help the community reopen without putting anyone in harm's way.

Note that these are listed in no particular order. The information listed below is accurate as of May 5, 2020, however may change due to the ever-changing situation regarding the COVID-19 threat and our state's response to the threat.
