The Boeing Co. will build the new line at its Charleston International Airport property instead of the other proposed location in Everett, Washington.  This is big, as the unemployment rate is almost at an all-time high, and the local area will benefit from this massive company.

Second Homes:  Here again, up until now you had to put down 20% towards the purchase of a second home.  Now you only need to put down 10%.  So…

We are excited to announce that we have now added Virtual Tours to the functionality of our Charleston real estate website.  This means that if any Realtor in the Charleston MLS adds a virtual tour of any kind to their listing, our website will pull that data from the Charleston MLS and display the Virtual Tour for everyone to view.

So now you have one place to view all of the virtual tours, without having to go to other companies’ websites to view only their virtual tours.  You can see them all here- from every company, and every agent.
