I frequent the Hilton Head region of South Carolina periodically throughout the year. It’s truly a mecca for golfers and those into water sports as I am. I especially like Sea Pines, Hilton Head’s oldest and most reputable plantation. It’s over 55 square miles and has around 35,000 people residing there.During my latest trip I took the time off from surfing to look at what was available for Hilton Head real estate and was astounded by what I saw. Not only are there plenty of properties that I’d be happy to call “home”, but prices had dropped considerably over last year when I’d lasted looked at any Hilton Head real estate. I suppose with the economy and housing market being what it is it was bound to affect coastal regions like Hilton Head eventually. That’s good news for me though sinc... 04/30/2012

The Hilton Head-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce held their annual ball Saturday night.  Amid all the hoopla and fancy dresses - it was a Mardi Gras theme - they recognized some wonderful members of our community. The top award, the Alice Glenn Doughtie Good Citizenship Award for the first time was presented to two honorees; Ida Martin and Betsy Doughtie.  Ida Martin, who created Bluffton Self Help in her garage in 1987 also most recently was awarded the Presidential Citizenship Award by President Obama in Washington, D.C.  Betsy Doughtie serves as Executive Director of Deep Well; an organization that was created by Charlotte Heinrichs to address the lack of adequate drinking water and now provides assistance to thousands of Hilton Head area residents. For such a small geographic area we ar... 02/05/2012

It's always such a joy to have the opportunity to get to see oceanfront homes on Hilton Head Island.  Even more of a joy when the home turns out to be as stunning as the ocean view! Yesterday morning as the sun was gleaming off the beach in Palmetto Dunes, I visited a home on Night Hawk. Offered by a fellow Realtor(R), this home exemplifies all that is potential and wonderful about the options on Hilton Head. While we in general don't have Frank Gehry style architecture and some would say that it is not creative, the beauty of this home on Night Hawk surpasses all that. The architectural details of a cut out window high in the powder room wall, to the mixture of contemporary, traditional, and features of the beach. This home has it all! You sweep into the entry from travertine steps, fl... 01/19/2012

It's winter in the lowcountry! How do I know that when the temps remain in the 60-70 degree range you might ask? (Though by some decision by Mother Nature today brought a cold, windy day) Though the shiny thick magnolia leaves cling to the brances since they are actually evergreens, the fragrant flowers have dropped and huge pods with bright red seeds hang there instead. A favorite area on Hilton Head Island is Coligny Plaza - the bright buggy seems to be decked out in holiday colors and though it's this color year-round, against the crisp skies and cooler temps it seems even more festive now. For birdwatchers, the Audubon Christmas count is a delight since the lowcountry is a major rest stop for migrating ducks and songbirds. The hooded mergansers take baths in our lagoons, the woodsto... 01/03/2012

A deal is a deal is a deal?  Not exactly. While it is true that foreclosed properties usually take a much shorter time to close, that they are most likely clear of any clouds on the title, and that there is no emotionality, it still remains a distressed property. There is rarely a day that goes by that someone doesn't say "I want a DEAL, find me a foreclosed property."  I am always happy to search any category that someone wants; however, I just had a circumstance that might make that request somewhat inadvisable. The scenario - Imagine a large home, over 3800 sq ft, that was purchased in 2005 for just under $800,000. Beautiful lot, on Hilton Head Island in a wonderful community, on the golf course, view of a lagoon, 3 car garage, even an adorable "telephone room", 2 fireplaces, vaulted... 01/01/2012

Oh my how times have changed the past five years!  Five years ago did anyone know what a short sale was?  I didn't because things were booming on Hilton Head Island and Bluffton, and everyone was riding the wave of rapid appreciation. You know the story, then the lights got turned off over-night and all of sudden the economy came to a skidding halt.  The first short sale I did was in 2008 for a good friend of mine and we worked our way through it together, not really knowing what we were doing, but we somehow got it approved. All of sudden I was a short sale expert and that was a good thing because if I didn't know anything about short sales, or want to help clients that needed to do a short sale, I would not have survived through 2008, 2009, and 2010! Today short sales comprise about 8... 12/08/2011

If you could live anywhere in the country that you wanted to, where would that be? I have a buddy that was just presented with that very decision and do you know what he did? He spent a month going up and down the east coast looking at areas where he thought he might want to live. When he was done traveling and looking around he happily settled into a Hilton Head condo on Hilton Head Island, SC.He said of all the places he looked at Hilton Head Island is like paradise. The weather is awesome year round there plus there’s plenty of golf and knowing him there’s nothing more important than that. A Hilton Head condo is perfect for him as it provides plenty of amenities so he can live in style and the upkeep outside is taken care of for him. He’s not one to get into maintenance of his proper... 11/28/2011
