Just Sold on the Peninsula, downtown Charleston 1.8 million
Even in the difficult market of 2011, we are still selling houses in Charlestion. This truly is a unique property, and in one of the finer areas on the Charleston Peninsula. I was fortunate to have exceptional clients.
Here is the writeup on the home:
Circa 1850, 52 Smith Street is enviably located in the heart of Harleston Village on the corner of Smith and Montague Streets. Over the past five years, the interior and exterior of this home have been meticulously renovated and restored offering all of the modern amenities while preserving its traditional style and grace.

How to Search for Charleston, SC Foreclosures
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011 at 7:20am. 479 Views, 1 Comments.
Just a reminder that we are a great resource for foreclosures in Charleston, SC. In today’s Charleston real
estate market, foreclosures and short sales comprise anywhere between 25 and 35% of the total market. In some areas of Charleston, those numbers can even be higher. With fall coming up, and winter right around the corner, the pressure is on for banks to unload these bank owned properties and get them sold.
On this website, you can search any foreclosure or bank-owned property in the Charleston market. Our information is updated daily, to ensure that you’re getting the latest and most up to date information on these great deals. We even have a breakdown of foreclosures and bank owned homes for each specific area of Charleston.

When is the Real Estate Bottom Going to Arrive in Charleston SC?
Friday, June 17th, 2011 at 11:31am. 519 Views, 2 Comments.
I get a lot of real estate questions during work, at dinner parties, at kid’s birthday parties, from friends, from family- about the current real estate market here in Charleston. The number 1 question that I’ve been getting lately is:
When are we going to see the bottom?
Well, if I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that question. The short answer is: I don’t know, but it could be now, depending on other factors, or your current situation. I want to put something out there that I hope you buyers will take into account when considering purchasing at “the bottom”. Know that every person’s situation is different when timing the market- but let’s look at one factor. Do not only think in terms of home values when determining “the bottom”, but…

If you’re purchasing a home in Charleston, South Carolina, a CL-100 Inspection will be required by your lender in order to close. So what is this inspection and what does it entail? The CL-100 Inspection is also called a Termite Inspection, and the report is called the Official South Carolina Wood Infestation Report.
The purpose of the inspection is to check for:
111 Waterfront Plantation Drive; A True Deepwater Condo Close to Downtown Charleston
Friday, January 7th, 2011 at 2:24pm. 436 Views, 0 Comments.
When was the last time you saw a waterfront residence on the Intracoastal Waterway where you didn’t need flood insurance? Well this is certainly the exception. I saw this deepwater property yesterday and felt compelled enough to share it with all of you.
For those of you that know a little bit about location on James Island, this condo community is called Waterfront Plantation and is located right off of Maybank Highway along the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway). These condos don’t come on the market very often, as a matter of fact; I’ve only seen two others come on the market since 2004 here. It is a great location because you live on the ICW, you are 10 minutes to Folly Beach, and 5 minutes to downtown, Charleston.
It is a very quiet setting, with only 12…
West Ashley Real Estate Deal of the Week!
Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010 at 7:59am. 512 Views, 0 Comments.
2367 Furman Drive, Charleston SC
Wow, what a house- and what a unique opportunity to live on deepwater in West Ashley with your own private lake. That's right, 19.34 acres (2.53 acres high) of your own private property, which includes a 4.01 private lake, and access to deepwater on the Ashley River once a dock is built.
What? Say again?
You have the opportunity, right now, to live in this West Ashley home, on your own private lake, with a boat ride to the Atlantic Ocean via the Ashley River. Ok, well what's the catch...because this is too good at $725K. Well, first let me say that this is not my listing. I've stumbled across it while searching for another client of mine. But I'm seriously surprised that this is still on the market, because (and I hate to be…
Where Are the Good Areas to Live Around Charleston?
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010 at 7:32am. 767 Views, 2 Comments.
Many people who consider Charleston, South Carolina as a retirement destination or a possible move with a job transfer sometimes feel overwhelmed with the number of options available. Each area that surrounds Charleston has its own unique character, charm, and feel about it. I am excluding the beaches this go-around, but I’d like to briefly explain some of the areas that surround Charleston, in hopes that it might make it a little easier for those from out of state:
Charleston Peninsula- This is obviously the anchor for Charleston. The historic draw of the city, the culture and world-class restaurants, and the “Old South” way of living is still evident here. People from all over the country seek this spot as a perfect destination, close to the beaches…
The Bottom of the Charleston Real Estate Market Just Passed You By...
Monday, November 8th, 2010 at 8:57am. 454 Views, 0 Comments.
If you're waiting to pull the trigger on purchasing real estate as a buyer here in Charleston SC, should you consider buying now instead of later? I've found some interesting numbers this morning from the Charleston MLS. The numbers speak for themselves. We have a surplus in sold properties in almost every price range for this year, compared to last year.
But now? In this economy? Yes.
But lets not forget, the tax credit certainly helped boost along what
would otherwise be a dreary first quarter (and last year's November and
December were strong, which are not represented in this report). But
this is certainly interesting, and we'll have to see how the rest of the
year plays out. I'll do another report at the end of the year for a
look at…
Foreclosure Halts - Bank of America Lifts Moratorium
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010 at 8:55am. 539 Views, 1 Comments.
This is a great piece written from someone within our business, and I thought it would be good to share:
There have been a lot of recent headlines about the foreclosure moratorium put in place by several of the nation’s largest banks and I felt it appropriate to communicate a brief explanation of where we are and how this may, or may not, impact our market and to also update you on the latest headlines.
In short, this issue came about after the discovery that many of the nation’s largest banks had cut corners in the review of foreclosure documents which resulted in self-imposed moratoriums put into place so that the banks could undertake a self review of their own internal procedures. This was not a fundamental flaw which resulted in foreclosures being…
