By Deborah Ball Kearns, RE/MAX Times Online Associate Editor Tom Sloyan built his career at RE/MAX over the past 20 years, creating a successful business and a strong referral base. So when the owners of his office decided to convert to Keller Williams in July, Sloyan didn't think twice about what his next steps would be. "I did some checking on the new office and decided I wanted to soar with the eagles and not hang with the turkeys," says the Hall of Fame member. He joined RE/MAX Excalibur Realty in Tucson, Ariz., within days of the conversion announcement. "I did business out of the back of my Tahoe for two weeks before I could get into my new office, but it was worth it. It's refreshing to be in a RE/MAX office again where there's a positive atmosphere of true winners." Sloyan wasn'... 09/23/2010

Hilton Head Island is a be-back city.  Face it, most of the Hilton Head buyers live somewhere else.  With an annual population of only 35,000, Hilton Head's primary buyer pool exists in it's 2.5 million annual visitors.  These are the be-backs that will return either every week, every month or every year until they buy something.  Of course, Real Estate Agents on Hilton Head Island want these be-backs to know that if they cannot find as nice home as they saw on their last visit, or they cannot negotiate as much, or the interest rates are higher, don't blame it on us!  Please click here to read more+ 09/22/2010

In the 25 years of selling real estate on Hilton Head Island, I have seen buyer cycles come and go.  Although this cycle may appear longer or deeper than the others, it too shall pass.  One thing I have found in these cycles is that the very best real estate deals are often struck when the news in the papers is really, really bad.  That said, the recent NYT article "Widespread Fear Freezes Housing Market" triggers another good reason to buy real estate on Hilton Head.  While it may have made every buyer and seller shudder, one agent said it perfectly when he stated "Do the opposite of what they say in the newspapers when you buy and sell real estate on Hilton Head Island and your timing will always be good"...and the local numbers support the reasons why!  Read more here>>> 09/02/2010
