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.

Charleston House Sold for Full List Price!

Just sold another house in Charleston, and this time it was for FULL LIST PRICE! But how in this market?
This home at 507 Ivy Circle was in Grand Oaks in West Ashley, which is a very competitive neighborhood in terms of selling. There were many comparative homes on the market for sale, BUT THIS ONE STOOD OUT AND SOLD. How did we do it? We didn't...the seller did. He realized that in order to sell a house quickly, he would need to stand above and beyond the competition.
He accomplished this by:
Sellers: How the HAFA Program can help with Short Sales
Monday, March 7th, 2011 at 3:15pm. 455 Views, 0 Comments.
The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Program is a program designed for sellers that are upside down in their house. This program is for those folks that have contemplated selling their home as a “Short Sale” rather than allowing for foreclosure. So how does it work?
The benefit of this HAFA program is that you would no longer be responsible for the difference between what you owe on your mortgage and the amount that your home sells for. You see, in South Carolina, most banks would order a deficiency judgment against the borrower for the difference in what the home sells for, and what is owed. The HAFA program would be the contrary. Sellers would also receive $3,000 at closing as an incentive to selling as a short sale, as opposed to…

Foreclosure Halts - Bank of America Lifts Moratorium
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010 at 8:55am. 546 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…
What is This News About a New Real Estate 'Sales Tax'?
Wednesday, September 15th, 2010 at 7:38am. 346 Views, 0 Comments.
Many of you may have seen recent emails talking about a Sales Tax on real estate sales. Below is the article from the National Association of Realtors website which is a great resource for current information that provides an accurate summary of the new provisions.
No 4.0% “Sales Tax” on Home Sales in Recently Enacted Health Reform Bill
Contrary to reports and newspaper articles circulating widely on the Internet, there is not a 4.0% "sales tax" or "transfer tax" on the sale of a home included in the recently signed health care reform bill. The analysis underlying these reports is incorrect and fails to take into account the interplay of the bill's provisions with already existing real estate tax laws that remain unchanged.
What was included in the health…
Caravan with Carolina One Real Estate
Thursday, August 27th, 2009 at 5:42pm. 397 Views, 2 Comments.
I was at our weekly office meeting with Carolina One Real Estate, where we talk about current events and trends in real estate, the latest mortgage and financing issues, and a lot of the pitfalls that some buyers and sellers are experiencing in this difficult market. I have to say, a lot of agents or people in general can complain about mandatory meetings, but I tend to get a whole lot out of the discussions we have. If you have about 120 agents (in our office alone) talking about what’s happening in the real estate market- it’s a great way to bounce ideas off one another for our buyers, sellers, or to take advantage of a great listing that one agent has, that we can show one of our buyers before it hits the market.
Which brings me to my next point…Agent…
