Why Selling Your House with a Real Estate Professional is Essential

Now is the time to get your home ready to list, and here is why listing with a well-known professional (like us!) makes a difference. 

Selling your house is no simple task. And when you sell on your own – known as a FSBO (or For Sale by Owner) – you’re responsible for handling some of the more difficult aspects of the process without the expert guidance you need.

The 2021 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) surveys homeowners who recently sold their house on their own and asks what difficulties they faced. Those sellers say some of the biggest headaches are prepping their house for sale, pricing it right, and handling the required paperwork.

Working with an agent is the best way to ensure you…

2020 Mid-Year Market Report

Mid-Year Review:

Spring is typically one of the busiest seasons for buying and selling homes in the Lowcountry. However, this year's Spring market was interrupted by COVID-19, resulting in a sharp, but brief decline in real estate activity. While the restrictions placed on real estate in the Spring made an impact on the market, buyers and sellers are making up for lost time by diving head-first back into the housing market. 

Pending sales over the last two months have been off the charts. The Lowcountry is benefiting from historically low interest rates and urban residents choosing to move to our suburban towns. The buyer demand is expected to continue, yet the supply of inventory is limited to meet this demand. With our pending sales up, we are…

What Every Buyer Needs to Know Before House Hunting

Before you begin your hunt for a new home, even if it’s online, we suggest that you do some important information gathering ahead of time so that the fruits of your labor will be more immediate and more satisfying.

If so, be sure and note that there will be added monthly housing costs via homeowners association fees. To give yourself or your family room to grow, a detached single-family home with ample outdoor spaces may head your list of criteria.

“What location is…

Give Your Garage A Makeover

12 ideas to steal from the most organized garages

An organized garage is every homeowner’s dream, but it’s so hard to achieve! Check out these creative ways to keep clutter at bay by organizing everything from sports equipment to tools. 

Overhead Bins

Jam-packed with sports equipment and seasonal decorations—and let's not forget about the cars—many garages are seriously lacking in storage space. But as any organized garage owner knows, when you're searching for places to stash, look up, not around. Ceiling-mounted racks can house any unsightly boxes you don't need constant access to, and better yet, you'll barely even notice they're there.

A Rise in Remote Work Could Lead to a New Suburban Boom

Where people choose to live has traditionally been tied to where they work, a dynamic that through the past decade spurred extreme home value growth and an affordability crisis in coastal job centers. But the post-pandemic recovery could mitigate or even produce the opposite effect and drive a boom in secondary cities and exurbs, prompted not by a fear of density but by a seismic shift toward remote work.

Now that more than half of employed Americans (56%) have had the opportunity to work from home, a vast majority want to continue, at least occasionally.  A new survey from Zillow, conducted last week by The Harris Poll1, finds 75 percent of Americans working from…
