Get to Know Cal Griffin

Edisto Beach-Now That's Heaven!....use to be a bumper sticker slogan back in the '80s.  It was something that you would see on all the cars as they cruised around the boulevard.  Since I can remember, our family has always had a Beach House down on Edisto.  Our first house was on Eddings Street, built by my grandfather who was a country contractor in Walterboro.  Grandaddy, from the Depression Era, saved and salvaged the used building materials from an old schoolhouse that he had recently torn down. He used these materials to build our first Beach House.  The house had no AC or Heat, no phone or cable, it had 3 bedrooms, a great room with twin beds lining the edges, a single bathroom with only a tub.  It was primitive but it was heaven.  Every night mom would spray the bugs and turn on old ricktey metal fans...we were at the beach and that's all that counted.     Sometime in the early '80s, we moved up to a Beach House  on the second row with all the bells and whistles.  We had AC and Heat and eventually we talked Dad into getting us cable.  Now we were really in Heaven.         I have had so many fine and first memories on Edisto. First girl friend, learned to water ski, had my first beer, first real job, learn to deep sea fish, clean crabs off the dock, back a boat into the water,...oh the memories.         My first real job was at the IGA Grocery Store(the Piggly Wiggly). I started as a bag boy shagging groceries out to the cars and moping floors to eventually after eight summers to becoming the assitant manager. I had my own set of store keys-I thought that I was somebody.  I really thought that after college that I would come back to the Edisto and manage the store. Life changed and I ended up owning my own Jewelry store in Walterboro.  With the Grocery Store at the Beach a distant memory.        Somewhere in the late eighties, I gave real estate my first try as a career.  I was twenty-two, naive and still green under the gills, and the fact that we had just come thru one the worst recessions that our country had seen since the Great Depression mad it tough to make a living.  Well, I gave it a year, sold only one house(my father owner financed it) that year and decided to turn in my keys and look for a better way.         Luckily, my girl friend's father wanted to go into business together. I took him up on the offer and we started a small clothing store with a side line of fashion jewelry. After about a year, as it turned out, the retail clothing business was not for me and also the girlfriend seemed to be on the way out.  So, I sent the girlfriend, dad and store packing and was off to my next adventure.  While in the clothing business, I realized that their was a need for another Jewelry Store in our small town.   That's the  where and why I started the Jewelry business.  Almost twenty years later, with a wonderful wife, and three beautiful kids and a very successful retail establishment.       It is hard to put my finger on it,  I am not sure if it was a mid-life crisis or the need for achievement but at the age 40 I felt the call of adventure again.  And that still small voice was calling me back to Edisto. I look into openning another jewelry store or maybe a gift shop.  But the numbers didn't work for the jewelry store(too big investment for only 3 selling months) and I just wasn't into the gift thing.  As I continued looking and dreaming, that still small voice got louder and louder.  It said Cal, "you love Edisto, you know every square inch of the island, why not real estate?".       And you know the rest of the story,  2006 I went to work for Edisto Real Estate Company.  It was the Dream Job that I had been preparing all of my life to do.  What a wonderful life!     After the mandatory three years with working under a broker, I studied hard earned my education and passed my brokers license and opened The Edisto Beach Company- a high tech-high touch real estate company on Edisto.     Life is an Adventure, come with me and it will be my pleasure to share Edisto with you.
