About:

Hi, I'm Ross Harkness. I moved my family here to the Carolinas after a lifetime of living in Southern California and having a career as a design/build Hi, I'm Ross Harkness. I moved my family here to the Carolinas after a lifetime of living in Southern California and having a career as a design/build contractor. My wife Jenny and I have 5 kids (one in college now and one just turning 4. So, we have quite a handful at home (literally). I live an active life, coaching my kids sporting teams (mostly Discoveries Soccer Club), being involved in church, getting outdoors, playing golf, camping, going to the lake, beach or a ski trip to the mountains.
We feel truly blessed to be here in the Carolinas, and could have moved anywhere in the world, but chose this place. I believe that we chose right, and that this was the best thing for our family. This is a great place to raise a family, work and play. All four of the seasons occur here, although the winters are not too bitterly cold. Housing is very affordable, taxes are low, the schools are great, the people are friendly, and there are plenty of goods and services.
I became a realtor, because I would often get asked by real estate professionals, while working in the construction industry, whether this particular home could be remodeled in a certain way, or whether an addition could be done on one of the wings of the home, etc...I figured that I already loved being involved with properties in general, as I have been an investor of many years. With my experience in construction and design, becoming a realtor just made sense. Also, I figured that I wasn't going to build forever. Real Estate is just in my blood. As a realtor/builder, I have found the perfect niche to successfully match my lifelong skills and passion with a career.
I teamed up with my pal Clif Ridenhour and have started the Palmetto Property Pros team. Clif and I make a great team. We support, motivate and encourage each other and are available to handle all of your property needs be it a purchase, sale, renovation or lease. We even invest and buy properties too! We are committed to client satisfaction at every level. If I can't be available for a meeting or showing, he can be there to assist you.
I have a strong faith and hope that I may help you with your real estate needs. It is my objective that while assisting you, I give honor and glory to the Lord, Jesus Christ.
Contact me for your next real estate transaction and you will not be disappointed. I intend to provide the service to make you a customer for life.
Thank you,
Ross Harkness, Realtor®/Builder

How do you figure what the price of your land that your house sits on is worth? Fort Mill, SC 29708 - .37 acre

Asked Tue Dec 1 2009, 09:14 by Helpmeplease - In My Neighborhood in 29708 - 3 answers

Ross Harkness answered:

There are several different ways to calculate this, but the market value based on comparison lots in your neighborhood and what they have sold for in the past and what a lot like yours would sell for now is the true test of worth. I pulled up your subdivision and didn't find any available lots or any past comps on sold lots. The builder probably bought a parcel of land, subdivided and built out the entire community. Therefore, individual lots were not sold without already being improved.

What the tax assessor values your land to be worth or how much value that you put on the land to insure it could also bring different numbers. The reason that you want the information will determine how you value it for that particular purpose. If you are unsure how to value the land, a local appraiser could help you. Also, your tax bill will have the improved value (which would be the actual home) and the land value separated out too.

Hope this helps. With your address, I could aid you further. Let me know if you want more help.

Thanks,
