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.

Those sellers say some of the biggest headaches are prepping their house for sale, pricing it right, and handling the required paperwork.

Mid-Year Review:

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…

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.

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.

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.
