Unless your home was built in the last year or two, it's likely to be full of outdated features and systems. Some of those items may add to the home's charm, but many distinctly will not. Replacing the outdated with modern versions or smart technology can save you time and money.

"While not everyone is an uber-cutting-edge tech wiz, [home] buyers are more tech-savvy than ever before,” says Jared Wilk, principal at Shulkin Wlik Group.

Smart home technology is becoming more mainstream, he says, with homeowners willing and eager to operate various aspects of their homes from their smartphones, and to have systems controlled by Wi-Fi to create efficiencies.

Here’s a look at some of the things your home doesn’t need anymore—and how…

Pork bellies, oil, corn and soybeans are all commodities just like the real estate market. The market fluctuates and is controlled by supply and demand, as well as weather and the financial state of the world among many other issues. The difference with real estate is that there is also heightened emotions surrounding each transaction. Shame, guilt, anxiety, anger, frustration and pride are just some of the feelings connected to a real estate transaction. People seem to attach personalities to homes and give them much more weight than is necessary. Your job is to help your Seller manage the emotion.

When a Purchaser doesn’t like your Seller’s home or a Real Estate Agent gives an opinion, many owners take this very personally. Help them to see —…

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…

Whether you just aren’t a big griller (shh! we won’t tell) or it’s just way too hot outside, these grills can do the trick so you can still have a great grilled dinner. We have both a grill pan and a George Foreman but I’m looking forward to trying out the Ninja All in One. Have you tried it?

These indoor grills and grill pans will help you get beautiful charred meats and veggies from the comfort of your (air-conditioned!) kitchen.

Once the warmer weather hits, it's natural to throw a juicy steak or chicken on the grill (as well as dessert!) under the summer sun. But, with as hot as it is right now in so many parts of the country, standing in the sweltering heat over a hot grill to make dinner isn't very appealing. So…
