  Located at the corner of Two Notch and Clemson Roads in Northeast Columbia, SC the Sandhill Research and Education facility is a 600 acre campus known mostly to locals as Clemson Extension. Just across the street from the Village at Sandhill, The Sandhill Research and Education Center looks like nothing more than a couple of large fields and a handful of trees from the road.

  I have spoken with many people both in  the real estate business and those thinking of getting their license who say that they would never work for a competing Broker and they have no idea why anyone ever would. First let me explain what a competing Broker is, it's a Broker who in addition to being the Broker in Charge of an office also lists and sells homes actively.  I guess this could be a daunting thought for those that are new to the business and since I have heard so many reason why one shouldn't do it, I thought I would share a few reasons you may actually want to consider it, especially it you are new. 1 - You don't actually work for anyone other than yourself. Stop saying that you do not want to work for  a competing Broker. In this business you work for yourself unless you a...

  Located just off Main Street Winnsboro, a short drive from Columbia, SC, is the campus of Mt. Zion. It's just over three acres in total with a large field and the brick building itself standing on one end. The lands were donated after the formation of Mt. Zion College in 1777 and was continuously overseen by the Mt. Zion Society which is still in existence today.  The campus served as an encampment during both the Revolutionary War and the war between the states. In fact Mt. Zion and William and Mary are the only 2 remaining campuses in the U.S. to serve as encampments for opposing forces during these wars. To put it lightly, there is a lot of history here.   Mt. Zion also served as a high school and up until 1991, the campus was used as Mt. Zion Elementary School, which believe it or...
