Another Folly Beach Home Sold...

Folly Beach House

 

302 W Ashley on Folly Beach for $410,000.  A super price for our buyer, for being across the street from the ocean.

Classic beach bungalow situated on a corner to corner lot, directly across the street from the Atlantic Ocean.  Ocean views from the large screened in porch, family room, and master bedroom as well.  Across the street is the small park, so there won't be another large beach house stealing the view.

Cruise Ship in Charleston, SCI have seen an increased presence of cruise ships on the Charleston Peninsula lately and wanted to share an article I found in the Post and Courier.  This was written by a local Realtor here in Charleston, and I wanted to share their viewpoint on the matter.

You've all heard the saying, "Change is inevitable; growth is optional".  I know that this increase in cruise ships will help the local economy downtown.  But at what point are we slowly chipping away at the character of the Peninsula?  There seem to be valid arguments from both sides, but I know where I stand on the issue.  Standards and/or regulation is key.

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?

Termite tubes found!

Updated, January 2019

 

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.
