We spent several days on the coast of South Carolina last week near Charleston. One afternoon as we were walking on the beach at Isle of Palms, we noticed a crowd of people. We walked over to see what was going on and discovered they were releasing five sea turtles that had been in

I don’t understand why someone who obviously knows what their price range is would waste my time and theirs looking at a property that is priced beyond their limit. I think if I were searching for a new home I would only look at properties that I could afford. Looking at homes that are more expen

Don't you love working with clients that can't make a decision? I have been working with clients for the past several weeks and have tried explaining that no home is going to be 100% perfect. I have also tried to do a realty check with them and explained that in their price range the home isn't g

I listed a lovely home in a nice community at a great price last week. In only one week, I have an accepted offer on the home. The seller is very motivated and was willing to price the home where it needed to be to facilitate a sale. The second couple who looked at the home wrote an offer and we
