I feel so fortunate to have found the Pawleys Island area!  I went for a walk along the beach this morning and viewed a sunrise so beautiful, that I actually just stopped and said ‘Thank You, God for another beautiful day.' The real estate market is doing better with a lot of the good buys being ...

I am happy to say that real estate is picking up in all price ranges.  It seems that some of the bigger buyers are starting to snoop around which is a good feeling.  Speaking of good feelings...As I was planting my tomatoes and basil, eggplant, peppers string beans cucumber, zucchini, oregano etc...

Tom Gillis, another local golfer, was right there tying-up with Phil Mickelson for 8th place! I have heard members sa...

Grand Strand Living is great! I actually live 20 miles south of Myrtle Beach, in Pawleys Island, where more of the coastal nature has been preserved and it is less crowded.

AS WE HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING AND SOME OF US EVEN LEAVING THE BUSINESS, I HAVE CONTINUED TO WORK HARD AND STAY POSITIVE IN THIS CRAZY MARKET.  I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT TO DATE, I HAVE 14 CONTRACTS CLOSED OR AWAITING CLOSING TOTALING A VOLUME OF $5,567,355.  THERE ARE BUYERS OUT AND ABOUT ONCE AGAIN, W...

In the process of creating a name for myself in the industry, I came to understand one thing very clearly... Advertising is key. I believe in a lot of advertising and I spend a lot of money on it.  Monthly, I have three full page ads in both The Real Estate Book and Homes and Land magazines.  I a...
