I just shot a television program on WHHI discussing the local Hilton Head Island real estate market.  The commentator asked me how the busiest 30 days of the year went.  Through April 25th we had a lot of activity on the island – the Heritage Golf Tournament, great weather, Easter and lots of vacationers.  I [...]

Yesterday I received an offer from an agent for a property; he said his clients felt confident our seller would take the offer because they are still going to make $100,000 on their property – despite the fact that the property was listed for significantly more than the offer.  Unfortunately for the buyer, it is [...]

I was showing property recently to a retired oil executive and he was talking about the price of oil shooting up due to the uncertainty in the middle east.  Until there is some stability we might continue to see volatility in this market.    I realized that this kind of thing is true in real estate [...]

I was recently on a listing appointment with some clients who were interested in selling their home.  We went over a market analysis of their home and came to a conclusion on price.  They said that they understood my assessment; but that they needed to get more out of their property so they were going [...]

Yesterday we filmed a new episode of The Lowcountry Report.  In this episode we discuss the Holiday Housing Market and whether this is the time to list your property.  Check it out!

I was on my way home one night and Jane asked if I could pick up canning jars at the grocery store.  I stopped at the store and I had no idea where to look – I started looking at the signs and realized that there was no sign that said “canning jars”.  Instead of [...]

This past Friday night my son and I went to an Atlanta Braves game.  We did not have tickets before the game, but my son said he was going to buy them on Stubhub.  I could not believe how great our seats were – we were right behind the 3rd base dugout.  After talking to [...]
