beaufort sc information: It is One Town, One Team, One Night That Nothing Else Matters. - 10/30/10 11:05 AM
Coming from a small town in rural Mississippi, there is one thing I understand completely. The importance of small town football can never be underestimated. The great equalizer, the great healer, the great debate, the great end to a long week; small town football.
Anyone who has ever forgotten what it was like to work so hard, to want something so badly, and to give everything you can for that one moment; attend your local high school football game. These young men aren't getting a paycheck. There is no promise of endorsements, worldwide fame, and/or and instant get out of jail … (1 comments)

beaufort sc information: When My Home, Becomes This House - 10/27/10 06:53 AM
At first, a tabula rasa of plans and creativity can often morph into less of an adventure and more of a burden. Obvious catalysts such as divorce, job relocation, and financial upheaval take their place as the usual suspects; yet, lesser known but equally powerful are the smaller complications that often chip away at the wall of fondness towards the walls of home.
A residence becomes many things over the course of ownership. It ebbs and flows between new project, old repairs, new replacements, and old cares.
Tides of change can wrinkle the face of a neighborhood that was once bursting … (19 comments)

beaufort sc information: We Most Certainly Do Have Seasons! - 10/23/10 09:33 AM
Of course we have our problems, we even sometimes experience the sting of small town growing pains, and we do have bugs; however, there is not one single negative that compares or in anyway discounts the charm, the grace, or the endearing low country atmosphere that surrounds Beautiful, Beaufort By The Sea.
Some argue that we don't have true seasons. They obviously have never experienced our fall festivals, barefooted through one of our pumpkin patches, enjoyed "Pickin By The River", or simply took five minutes to notice the subtle changes in our sea grass.
We most certainly do have seasons.

beaufort sc information: Sleeping Beauty, Interesting Photo's, and Christmas, a Whole Lot of Christmas - 09/30/10 09:20 AM
Showing homes to buyers is always an event. This week was no different. In the rain, I toured five homes with an adorable first time buyer couple. Their feedback was priceless. After our exhausting, informative, productive, and at times, comical tour of homes was complete, we compiled a a list of ways to NOT SELL YOUR HOME.
10 Ways NOT to Sell Your Home
1. Make it difficult for an agent to show it. I was shocked at how many sellers, even with 24 hour notice, were unwilling to show their home.
2. Don't get out of bed. Yep! True story. As we walked into a … (3 comments)

beaufort sc information: I Attended the Town Hall Meeting and Felt GUILTY!!!! - 09/28/10 10:50 AM
It was pouring rain. Not sprinkles, not misting, not even a light shower instead it was like walking through a car wash. I could have come up with at least 200 excuses, some even viable, not to attend yesterday's Port Royal Town Hall meeting. For starters, it was Monday. To add insult to injury it was Monday at 4pm, on the other side of town, and of course all the good parking spots had been taken. Problem is, I gave my word. Darn integrity!
We get so busy, so caught up in paperwork and the day to day tasks that somehow … (6 comments)

beaufort sc information: Do I Really Need 10 Cans Of Cream Corn?? - 09/08/10 03:23 PM
In times of trial and tribulation, heroes are made, legends abound, and true colors shine ever so brightly. Comfortable complacency seems to fade as necessity becomes motivation. It is times such as these, that separate men from boys and the strong from the weak.
These are the times you find yourself lost in the middle of the month, in Walmart. Is it really the only place on earth that carries that irreplaceble ingredient, that one must-have to complete the universal to do list??
It can be felt in the air, the heaviness bears down and grips your very soul as you realize you are not alone in … (2 comments)

beaufort sc information: Beaufort High School Athletics! - 08/17/10 12:50 PM
As Realtors, we are constantly being approached to advertise whether it is Google, Yahoo, Trulia, Zillow, or our local print media. Each year we spend thousands on ads, sponsorships, banners etc. How much of your advertising dollars go towards the local youth?
One of my clients asked me to sponsor Beaufort High athletics this year. Before I even knew the cost, I said, of course.
As a former school teacher, and more importantly a former high school athlete, I understand how vital sports programs can be to enriching the lives of students. Just as I expect a return on my … (5 comments)

beaufort sc information: Little Home Little Face No longer Has a Place~ - 08/07/10 10:31 AM
It is like a yearbook of homes, a line up of the usual suspects or mugshots from a failed open house. You know exactly what I am talking about...that once incredibly thick magazine or special section of the newspaper that did nothing more than remind sellers that their property was ever so available. Magazine and newspaper editors alike are not exempt from the "change it or trade it" career in which Realtors are constantly adapting.
It appears to me (and I can be blind as a bat, therefore it must appear pretty darn brightly), that print media may be suffering due to their dogged determination … (2 comments)

beaufort sc information: Knowing When To Grow~ - 05/24/10 08:45 AM
For many years (obviously I won't say exactly how many) I have been wearing the numerous hats of real estate. Some fit a bit more fashionably than others, yet I wore them all proudly and with stern obligation. From listing, to buyer, to developer, to investor, and so forth, I trudged heavily.
I am proud that I was able to offer all excellent service at the expense of my over crowded brain; however, there comes a time when the Jack of all Trades must become a Master of One.
I love the excitement of the first time buyer. I truly adore that … (9 comments)

beaufort sc information: Jarheads, Devildogs, Husband or Wife....Happy Birthday USMC! - 11/10/09 08:23 AM
Ahhh yes. Today is the 234th birthday of the Marine Corps. I don't think it's any coincidence that the Corps started in a bar, do you?
Whether you call them gyrenes, jarheads, leathernecks, devildogs, husband/wife, son/daughter or boyfriend/girlfriend, they are devastatingly good looking in their dress blues, no?
Now, the Marine Corps has many traditions and the one most closely associated with THE BIRTHDAY is the Birthday Ball.
I have attended plenty of Birthday balls and although these fetes start off as formal, they don't end that way. I could make the post about Ball antics, but I would … (8 comments)

It is 10:45pm and I am just now getting home from working on my new office. Part excitement, part anxiety is what has kept me going this long on a Friday.
My clients, past and present, are pushing me forward with their encouragement and support. Just when I think I can't, they remind me that I can.
I giggle to myself when I think of the things that I don't have to get approved or cleared by someone else. After all it is my office.
So to end my long Friday with a smile the following are liberating thoughts for a Realtor … (27 comments)

After two incredibly long weeks of Real Estate Broker courses, it was finally time to pack up and head east. Not to discount the earth moving material covered in the class, but boy was I ready to come back to Beaufort.
I have read that smell is one of the strongest senses. At times I have even wished that were not true. On Friday, I couldn't have been happier to have a great sniffer!
It depends on who you ask and possibly where you are standing in regards to the answer to the age old, "What is that … (11 comments)

beaufort sc information: Fire Claims Beaufort, SC Beauty - 12/19/08 09:14 AM
Bay Street is our main artery through Historic Downtown Beaufort.
Many spend their morning jogging, walking furry friends, or taking advantage of the always supreme photo opportunity.
Bay Street runs along side the Intracoastal Waterway and the views are always breath-taking.
This morning it wasn't just the view that were breath-taking. Smoke billowed through our quaint little town as fire consumed one of our downtown buildings.
Beaufort is home to many heroes, this morning the Firefighters bravely fought to save the unsavable.
