beaufort sc real estate: 10 things I love about Beaufort! Part 1 - 02/10/08 07:32 AM
These are in no particular order by the way.
Having moved here from Norfolk, Virginia and not necessarily having chosen Beaufort on our own (Thank you U.S. Navy!), we came to Beaufort completely mesmerized by its beauty and charm.  As most people do, we were instantly smitten with the lowcountry charm and picturesque scenery that was to be our new home.  What I have compiled here are a few of my favorite things that I have grown to absolutely LOVE about Beaufort South Carolina.  As I was compiling this list, I discovered there was no way I could chose only 10 things that I … (10 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: Too many listings????? - 02/01/08 10:01 PM
I went to a listing appointment last week that was a little different experience for me.  I was agent number 5 that they were interviewing and another agent was coming the next day.  I applaud these sellers, because I find it difficult to get other sellers to inverview one other agent much less 5 others.  These sellers were uber prepared as well.  They had a questionare with at least 20 questions on it.  I had not had this type of interview in at least 9 years.  Luckily, I am a top listing agent in the Beaufort area area and I was … (5 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: Too many football fans in Beaufort South Carolina! - 01/20/08 07:00 AM
I had an open house today at 33 Chistine Drive (www.33Christinedrive.com) from 1-4pm.  Thankfully, one couple came by who saw it in the paper yesterday, otherwise I would have felt that it was a waste of time.  Even if only one couple comes by, it was worth it.  It was one couple who might not have seen it otherwise.  This particular couple was looking for their son who is thinking of relocating here.  After talking with them a bit, I realized that they are WAHOOs!  I knew I liked them for some reason other than being the only humans to talk … (7 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: Macaroni and Cheese and a beer! - 01/17/08 12:36 PM
So, yesterday was one of those days that makes me love and hate my job all at once.  This job is certainly not for the faint of heart and not for any individual who is unstable in any way as the stress will send you right over the edge!  Anyway, my office manager was on vacation this week and frankly I was struggling to complete any task as I was answering phones, submitting ads, etc so I was not in a proper frame of mind anyway.  By 9:30 I was on cloud nine as I walked in to find 2 offers … (13 comments)

I know 2008 is going to be great!  We are off to a great start.  I have 3 closings this month and three more contracts to write before week end.  I just got an offer on one of my listings after 4 days on the market.  Things seem to be going as well as anyone can hope for.  When I reflect on these blessings, I am reminded by my husband that I haven't had a day off in months and that I am working longer hours than he did during his residency.  I am hoping to implement a good scheduling balance this year between work … (4 comments)

A recent news story revealed many active duty Marines and Sailors reporting to and currently residing in the Beaufort County area will be pleased to see that BAH rates are going up for our area.  Last year, BAH rates actually went down almost $100 so to see that they have actually caught up with market prices and rental rates for the Beaufort area is a blessing.  With many area BAH rates rising an average 7.3% next month, many Marine families will now recognize that their BAH is actually more than a modest house payment in our area.  You can view the new … (3 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: The Power of an Appraiser - 01/05/08 01:27 AM
So I have this client who wrote an offer on a property and who was in mid process of getting a loan from Navy Federal Credit Union.  The bank orders an appraisal and the client is on the way to his 100% loan when we hit a major speed bump.  I receive a phone call from my client saying that because of some language in the appraisal that the lender is now requiring 3% down.  This home appraised for the sales price needed for the loan, but the appraiser decided that this particular neighborhood was "over saturated" and therefore NFCU initiated … (2 comments)

beaufort sc real estate: Blogging again - 09/04/07 07:16 AM
About a month ago, we made a huge switch from a templated website and had a custom website built.  With that change came about some pains.  While most were very necessary, some were unexpected.  One of those changes was that my old blog has been erased and all of the links that were associated with it.  So, I am here again starting a brand new blog and hoping to incorporate that new blog into our new website.  I hope that this blog will provide readers with a source of trustworthy information about real estate in Beaufort SC and some shared professional knowledge … (2 comments)
