Description
Julie Whitesell, Broker in Charge at Meybohm Realtors on Laurens Street, gives a look at her roots in the community and the role Meybohm plays in meeting a variety of real estate needs.
A
Welcome
to
aiken
business
matters.
We
are
very
delighted
today
to
have
Miss
Julie
Wetzel
with
day
Bob
realtor.
She
is
the
broker
in
charge
at
the
large
street
office
at
124,
Lauren's
in
downtown
aiken
and
I.
I'll
have
to
just
tell
you
right
away
that
I
know
Julie
very,
very
well,
so
I'm
going
to
ask
you
some
questions
and
it
feels
really
funny
asking
her
things
that
I
know
the
answer
to,
but
I
want
all
of
you
to
know
the
answers
to
them
too
so
welcome
today
and
Julie.
A
A
A
B
So
he
was
very
involved
in
the
community
in
general
when
he
would
move
here
and
they
kept
having
to
move
back
and
forth
to
Ohio
and
Aiken,
and
he
would
be
back
in
Ohio
but
flying
home
to
being
a
play
at
the
Playhouse
or
something
so
they
ended
at
once.
They
move
back
to
aiken,
they
decided
they
wanted
to
stay
so
the
last
time
they
made
their
move
back
to
aiken
was
about
two
weeks
before
I
was
born
and
and
then
I
grew
up
in
the
house.
A
A
A
B
A
A
A
B
A
A
B
B
There
so
it's
funny
how
that's
part
of
my
life
now
too,
but
doing
that
and
follow
and
dad
it.
You
know
if
he
was
at
the
Playhouse.
We
were
there
too,
so
I
kind
of
got
a
love
for
theatre
from
that,
but
just
just
love
being
an
Aiken
and
it's
so
cool.
Now
that
you
know
growing
up
in
aiken
estates,
where
I
am
I
grew
up
in
fox
chase,
but
being
in
aiken
estates.
Now
my
kids,
you
know
love
to
play
in
the
neighborhood
and
run
across
the
street.
So
it's
a
lot
like
our
girl.
A
A
B
At
that
age,
it's
awesome,
my
parents,
they
sold
their
house
in
fox
chase
lasted
about
a
year
ago,
and
you
know
I
can
remember
being
so
emotional
walking
through
the
house,
and
you
could
have
a
memory
in
every
room
because
they
live
there.
My
whole
life,
but
the
great
thing
is,
as
they
moved
across
the
street,
so
they
live
across
the
street
and
my
brother
lives
next
door
to
them.
So
my
husband
Jimmy
yeah,
he
actually
likes
it.
Tell.
A
A
B
A
I
know
that
it
gives
you
a
great
deal
of
satisfaction
and
that
and
I'm,
certainly
all
those
that
work
with
you
when
you
were
in
the
youth
program,
look
back
with
a
sense
of
pride
and
saying
wow.
That's
nice,
I
neat
transition
to
see
somebody
come
up
through
the
ranks
and
then
be
a
part
of
of
the
program.
B
There's
so
many
those
youth
are
amazing
and
there's
so
many
youth
there.
Now
that
whose
parents
were
in
youth
with
me
so
and
now
their
counselors
to
you
and
it's
fun
and
the
cool
thing
is.
Is
we
started
from
that?
We
started
a
program
called
the
Grove
and
it's
for
children
that
are
for
K
through
sixth
grade
until
the
sixth
graders
start
their
confirmation,
and
then
they
join
the
youth.
But
it's
a
great
way.
B
I
now
work
with
the
children
program
rather
than
the
youth,
but
my
kids
are
in
it
also
shila's,
not
yet
because
she's,
not
in
4k
but
anyway,
so
it
kind
of
it's
a
program
that
gets
those
kids
used
to
coming
every
Sunday
night
from
six
or
seven
thirty.
You
know
so
that
it'll
keep
them
involved
and
get
their
needs.
So
it's
fun
Eakins.
A
B
A
B
A
B
A
A
B
A
A
A
B
Augusta
and
Aiken
and
then
surrounding
areas
edgefield.
You
know
barnwood
johnston,
yet
we
are
the
we're
an
awesome
company.
It's
it's
such
a
pleasure
to
work
with
them
and
they're
a
family
and
it's
a
locally
owned,
locally
grown
company.
Eg
may
bomb
is
the
owner
and
lives
in
agustÃn's
from
augusta
and
he's
it's
such
a
faithful
company
and
such
a
gorgeous
family
and
and
we're
not
a
franchise.
B
A
A
B
B
I
think
so
yeah
I
couldn't
promise
you
that.
But
yes,
so
it
was
a
really
cool
program.
I
lived
in
Boston
and
worked
in
South
Boston
with
elementary
school
children.
It's
it's
it's
a
program
for
people
ages,
17
to
23
from
all
walks
of
life.
So
there
were
people
working
there
that
were
senators
children
and
there
were
people
there
that
had
the
choice
to
you
know
they
might
have
to
go
to
jail
or
they
might
be
working.
There.
I
mean.
B
Cool-
and
it
taught
me
a
lot
about
interacting
with
others,
so
I
worked
in
an
elementary
school
in
South
Boston
and
then
on
the
weekends.
We
did
a
program
called
young
heroes
where
we
took
eighth
graders
and
they
did
communis
community
service
throughout
Boston.
So
when
I
got
back
home,
I
finished
school
at
USC
Aiken,
but
I.
Also
at
one
point
in
my
life
lived
in
New
York
in
Manhattan.
Oh.
B
A
B
A
B
Is
a
summer
work
camp,
a
Methodist
camp,
but
you
know
anyone
from
any
religion
can
come,
but
there's
about
over
40
camps
in
South
Carolina
and
a
couple
in
North
Carolina
and
you
rebuild
homes
for
a
week.
So
it's
a
youth
program
and
then
there
are
adult
leaders
and
you
just
kind
of
threw
faith
and
gods
work.
You
go
and
rebuild
homes
for
them.
B
With
the
youth
via
too
yes,
so
habitat
starts
from
the
ground
up
and
and
sokka
hachey.
You
actually
go
rebuild.
What's
its
this
link,
so
you're
really
trying
to
make
sure
they
have
a
you
know:
roof
over
their
head,
dr
roof
floors
that
aren't
falling
through.
You
know
I
can
remember
when
we
used
to
build
outhouses.
You
know
I
mean
and
that's
right
here
in
South
Carolina
and
there's
actually
a
camp
and
akin
to
I.
Don't.
B
A
B
Yep,
you
have
to
be
14
before
the
camp
starts
and
then
go
on
from
there.
So
I've
been
going
since
I
was
14
and
Jimmy.
My
husband
started
when
he
was
14
too,
but
he
he
went
to
the
same
camp
as
me,
but
he
turned
14
the
week
of
the
camp.
So
the
camp
director
sent
him
home
that
he
came
back
the
next
year
and
we've
been
going
to
the
same
camp
I
still
today.
So.
B
A
About
that,
that's
very
interesting.
Let
me
you're
carrying
on
the
tradition
of
your
dad
with
the
acting
and
singing
part
of
it
than
that
kind
of
artistic
vent
and
you're.
In
so
far
as
the
your
business
world,
your
you're
doing
following
in
your
mother's
footsteps
or
high
heels,
I
guess,
maybe
whichever
one
would
apply
and
I
I
know
what
a
broker
in
charge
is
I,
think
but
tell
us
what
a
broker
in
charge
really
does
well.
B
A
B
Make
sure
that
we
have
any
appropriate
paperwork
and
I'm
there
to
keep
them
happy
to
train
them
and
make
sure
they're
there.
They
know
what
our
current
laws
are
trained,
any
new
agents
that
come
and
you
know,
encourage
them
in
their
business.
So
it's
it's
really.
I
can
feel
the
weight
of
the
responsibility
I
said
earlier
whenever
they
ask
me
a
question,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
either
providing
the
best
service
to
our
agents
so
that
they
can
provide
the
best
service
to
our
clients
and
customers.
That
are,
you
know
when.
A
A
B
B
Yeah,
that's
how
we
became
a
bomb.
It
was
a
top
selling
real
estate
company
real
estate
shop
was
in
Aiken
and
may
bomb
is
the
top-selling
and
Agustin
north
augusta.
So
we
weren't
natural
to
join
forces,
but
yeah
I
started
out
in
real
estate
and
did
new
homes
and
things
like
that,
and
then
Emily
was
my
assistant
for
a
while
and
then
she
she
stopped
selling
and
right
before
I
had
Baxter.
She
got
a
real
estate
license
again
and
we
joined
forces
and
became
and
created
an
LLC.
So
our
Aiken
LLC
been.
B
Actually,
a
great
thing
and
real
estate
can
be
overwhelming,
because
you
want
to
be
available
to
people
all
the
time
and
there's
no
way
that
you
can
be
I
mean
and
that
that's
a
hard
thing.
It's
a
really
hard
thing
to
learn,
especially
whether
you're
new
or
seasoned,
is
that
you
know
you
have
to
make
time
for
yourself.
So
you
can
make
time
for
others,
and
you
have
to
create
real
estate.
Your
business
like
us.
B
It
is
a
small
business,
you're,
an
independent
contractor
and
so
having
someone
available
to
cover
for
you
when
you're,
not
there.
You
know
it
is
such
a
great
thing.
I
mean
I,
can't
tell
you
how
many
vacations
I've
missed
whether
I
did
not
go
on
them,
because
a
contract
came
in
and
I
wanted
to
provide.
You
know
service
to
my
client
or
when
I
was
on
vacation,
but
I
wasn't
present
because
I
was
on
the
phone
the
whole
time.
B
So
it's
a
great
thing
to
have
a
team
where
you
can
build
a
relationship
with
them
and
you
split
everything
equally
and
you
know
because
everyone
has
different
strengths
and
weaknesses.
So
when
you
have
a
team
that
can
complement
one
in
one
another,
it's
a
great
it's
a
great
thing
and
it's
a
easier
way
to
build
your
business
and
do
so.
It
works
really
well
well,.
B
B
B
B
In
Augusta,
John
Chambers
is
kind
of
the
head
of
all
of
residential
ships
so
but
he's
currently
also
the
broker
in
charge
of
our
wheeler
road
office
and
then
graeme
a
bomb
who
is
eg.
Son,
he's
responsible
for
a
couple
of
offices
in
Augusta,
I'm
Evans
in
the
south
augusta
office
and
then
Carolyn
of
our
south
side
and
then
there's
cave
Renison
who's,
a
broker
for
our
property
management
and
then
Lionel
Prather
is
a
very
crucial.
Well.
B
A
B
A
B
B
B
A
B
B
B
B
Right
an
alley,
and
so
John
Chambers
was
just
telling
me
he
said
he
couldn't
believe
how
vibrant
it
was
on
a
Thursday
night.
It
was
so
great
that
everybody
was
sitting
outside.
You
know
they
were
just
really
enjoying
our
downtown
and
he
loved,
seeing
that
he
was
so
impressed
with
how
how
vibrant
our
community
is.
But
it's
the
heart
of
Aiken,
you
know,
and
when
you
have
a
downtown
that
is
prospering
it
spills
out
to
everything
else.
So
I
think
it's
so
important
that
we
continue
to
build
on
that.
A
B
A
B
A
A
Just
as
an
aside
to
Gina
I
didn't
know
this
until
recently
did
you
know
that
the
public
safety
has
several
officers
that
they
have
and
that's
all
they
do
is
is
make
sure
they
keep
downtown
squared
away.
They
make
sure
that
everything,
ok
and
that's
they
know
everybody
downtown.
They
make
it
opportunity
to
go
in
and
speak
to
the
different
store
owners,
and
things
like
that
that
you
don't
find
that
in
every
community.
B
And
if
you
know
making
sure
that
somebody's
following
up,
if
he
doesn't-
and
we
are-
we
are
so
blessed-
we
we
have
so
many
awesome
people
in
place
to
make
some
great
things
happen
with
with
your
new
position
as
the
business
vitality
manager,
and
you
know
with
that,
with
the
new
city
manager
with
John
and
place,
and
dr.
Alfred
with
the
school
district
and
I
mean
it
with
Ric
Flair.
B
A
Speaking
place,
yeah
and
folks,
like
you
and
the
city,
went
on
a
aspirational
cities
tour
last
year.
You
were
part
of
that.
In
fact,
you
and
I
SAT
together,
part
of
it
and
shared
some
ideas
and
some
thoughts
and
found
out
that
we,
the
my
old
adages,
if
you
sit
with
somebody
long
enough
you're,
going
to
find
out
that
your
paths
have
crossed
many
times.
A
Us
too,
but
the
positive
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
community:
the
the
vitality.
That's
that
everybody's,
showing
the
energy
and
the
vision
that
we're
casting
now
and
you're.
A
big
part
of
that,
because
you've
made
yourself
available,
may
Bob's
been
a
part
of
that.
So
many
of
the
organizations
in
town
are
just
so
enthusiastic
and
you
just
mention
a
whole
slew
of
new
people
that
are
in
town,
taking
new
positions
that
are
so
excited
about
the
future
of
this
town.
Yeah.
A
B
In
it,
I
realized
being
on
on
on
that
aspirational
cities
toward
what
it
was
almost
overwhelming
being
included,
you
know
getting
to
be
a
part
of
it.
I'm
so
glad
that
I
took
the
opportunity
to
do
it,
and
you
know
I
know
so
many
more
things
will
come
for
that,
but
if
you
just
you're
exactly
right,
if
you
make
yourself
available
to
things,
it's
amazing
what
opportunities
come
out
of
it.
Yeah.
A
A
You
just
started
that
this
year,
we're
proud
to
have
you
on
that
I'm
so
glad
you're
there,
and
can
we
we're
also
proud
that
you
were
also
named
in
the
Aiken
standard
in
in
this
publication
you're
one
of
the
you
were
named
as
the
2016
young
professionals
to
follow,
and
that's
quite
a
wonderful
group.
It
it
made
me
feel
really
good
I
knew
everybody
in
there
to
some
degree.
I
know
you
more
than
more
than
others,
but
it's
just
nice
to
know
that
our
community
has
that
kind
of
I
guess
to
be
real.
A
A
B
A
We
were
in
Atlanta,
went
to
many
shows
and
they
can
I
didn't,
take
and
put
in
in
Atlanta
the
Fox
Theater
places
like
that
and
came
back
here
and
one
of
the
first
things
that
Patsy
and
Neil
invited
us
and
we
went
to
heart-to-heart,
show
and
I
was
blown
away
with
a
talent
base
that
took
that
stage
and
to
find
out
your
dad
has
been
so
instrumental
in
making
that
the
I
mean
it
is
a
consummate
professional
presentation.
The
talent
level
in
there
is
unbelievable,
but
I
think
the
storylines
that
he
comes
up
with
her.
A
B
B
B
A
B
He
took
it
to
a
different
place,
but
he
does
its.
We
always
joke.
It's
mindless
theater,
see
you
don't
have
to
think
much
when
you
go
to
see
it,
but
it's
so
fun
and
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
fun
for
the
audience
because
we're
having
so
much
fun
so
yeah,
it's
it's
great
and
we're
always
trying
to
you
know
he
thinks
it's
really
important.
That
would
keep
the
cost
of
the
tickets
down
because
he
wants
people
to
come,
enjoy
themselves
and
you
know
have
a
nice
evening
out
and
it
not
be
too
expensive.
B
B
A
B
B
A
B
A
A
B
A
B
Anything
is
from
their
ticket
sales
and
their
own
personal
shoes,
not
from
the
cultural
series,
not
from
any
of
that,
so
any
any
money
that
they
need
for
