Dog Lost in Charleston - Grand Oaks Plantation   On February 16, Lena ran from her new home in Charleston's Grand Oaks Plantation.  My client just closed on her house last week and drove to Atlanta Saturday to pick up her new dog, Lena.  Lena is a Bernese Mountain Dog and a rescue.  She was taken in a kennel seizure and my client has been waiting to settle in her new Charleston home before getting Lena.  Lena is about 60 lbs.  Her body is black.  She's got white on her chest, feet and face.  She's also got tan on her feet and face.  She won't bite, but she's scared of people.  She was wearing a red and blue Kansas Jayhawk's collar.  She does have a microchip.  Please help bring Lena home by sharing this with others.  Contact me at 843-327-6099 with any information.  Your help is greatly...

You know, I'm so glad to be in Charleston, SC. Right now, it's sunny, 72 degrees in February, with a light wind. The winter is slowly giving way to spring, and the people of the Lowcountry are training for the Cooper River Bridge Run. Earlier today, I was out at the beach going on caravan with my company, Carolina One Real Estate. We do this every Thursday morning. We have our weekly meeting, talk about the current market, things that have come up in transactions with other agents that we can all learn from, and how we can become better agents, and more importantly, better people. So after our weekly meeting, all the agents go on caravan. What we do on caravan is take a look at the new listings in person, and determine what the sellers can do to their home to help get it sold. You know,...

I never thought I'd witness it, but it seems that Charleston, SC has been rated higher than the Big Apple. The readers of Conde Nast Traveler ranked our very own Charleston as the #2 city in America to visit! Charleston has been on Conde Nast Traveler's top ten list for the past sixteen years.  In the most recent years we have been in the third spot, right behind New York City. And it seems that we have moved our way up into their spot while they drop down into #3. And who has remained in the #1 spot?  San Fransisco! So watch out California - we're moving our way to the top!   ***************************************** We proudly serve and sell real estate in and around all of Charleston, SC.  If you are thinking about purchasing or selling your home in Charleston, Johns Island, James I...

 I am sitting here at my dining room table composing this blog because I am waiting on the gas company. When I signed up for service I was told someone would call me in a few days to schedule connection. A few days later they did and we set a time a week and half out between 8:00am and Noon.   As I think about that now it comes to me how "ol school" this appointment is. First, with today's technology I can do almost anything right from my laptop. I don't have to go to the bank, in most cases I can pay my bills via the laptop, when you call a place a business there are times you don't even need to talk to a person (although I have to say that is my least favorite form of technology). Computers and robots preform surgery, computers and technicians can fly a man-less plane from thousands o...

A lot of us that were around back in the 60's, remember Steve McQueen, Yul Brynner. James Coburn, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, & Horst Bucholz, teaming up to star, in what many movie fans would argue, is the greatest western of all time: The Magnificent Seven!         It is the story of seven highly skilled professionals that joined forces to help a small Mexican village. The original movie started a decade of great sequels, (The Guns of the Magnificent Seven, Return of the Magnificent Seven, etc) and helped pave the way for the "Spaghetti Westerns" that made Clint Eastwood (The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly, A Fist Full of Dollars, etc.) a household name. If you have never seen The Magnificent Seven on Turner Classic Movies, you really owe it to yourself to hustle down to B...

This coming weekend is more than just Valentine's weekend for Charleston, SC. If you live here, then you know it's also the weekend for the Southeastern Wildlife Expo.  And this Expo is huge!  Every year thousands of poeple come from across the country to see the sights and sounds of the Wildlife Expo.  And that's just what our local businesses need right now. For Charleston this year, the Southeastern Wildlife Expo is being referred to as "Tourism Stimulation Weekend".  Everyone is hoping for another record turnout, as I'm sure it will be. One awesome offer only available through Black Cat Tours will be a free 8 p.m. Haunted Charleston Walking Tour on February 14th.  They will also be offering two other free tours -- a Wicked Charleston Walking Tour, also on February 14th, and a 10 a....

I love the program, www.realestateshows.com and have had a lot of fun with it, creating both personal and work related shows.  This week I was trying to create something to show off some of our changes in our occupied homes.  Because I didn't want to just send a bunch of before and after photos to my prospect, I thought a real estate show was in order...... I thought both of these worked out really well and show off different elements of what we provide in occupied homes.... Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words - SHOW your clients that what you can do provides real value and helps to show the best parts of the home....

It seems that Charleston, South Carolina has someting else it can boast. Just in time for the most romantic day of the year, Charleston has been listed as one of the Top Ten Romantic Cities in the US, according to Home and Garden Television's FrontDoor.com. So what did they list as romantic things to do?  You could take a horse-drawn carriage tour, visit Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, and have a sunset picnic at Waterfront Park.  There are a few other things I can think of off the top of my head.  You could take a stroll along one of our many beautiful beaches.  You could spend the afternoon meandering through Downtown Charleston with all of the cobblestone roads, graceful churches and of course the Market.  You could also spend an evening on the water by enjoying a Sunset Dinner Cru...

JUST BECAUSE   I don't know about you but growing up in my house this was not an excuse I got away with. I have to say when raising my children I found myself saying the exact things to them my dad said to me.   Last Night President Obama spoke to the nation. I thought for his first news conference as President it went quite well. It also became clear to me that the President is having the same problem the rest of us are having.....that is we think this is the right action but we don't know for sure.   Today Treasury Secretary Geithner will be speaking to us regarding the remaining TARP fund and what the Obama administration has on tap for banks and financial institutions going forward. I am looking forward to hearing what he has to say and what the plan might contain.   Where is the "J...

I said YES to the privilege of co-hosting an open house with Jennifer LePage in Hampton Terrace at 473 Huger Street today and here are a few things I learned.  I learned that the historic city park near the Citadel, "Hampton Park", is just around the corner and boasts thirteen acres of lush gardens, live oaks, reflecting ponds and hiking trails. I'll have to take my camera and check that out sometime.   I learned that Jennifer LePage (the Realtor) has a really cute little doggie...but, try as I might, I couldn't get the little darlin' approved for any type of financing. His "Stated Income" documents just wouldn't fly. We sat on the front porch and enjoyed the warm breezes...up to 75! About time. Several neighbors came through to admire her amazing antiques and beautiful decor. Maybe the...

With everyone trying to do their part these days and become a little more "green", this upcoming weekend will be a great opportunity to find some fresh ideas. This weekend, February 7-8, is South Carolina's Second Annual Green Living Festival.  This year's festival is being held at the Omar Shrine Temple at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant from 10am-4pm each day. While living a green lifestyle has a lot to do with recycling, reusing and conserving, that's not everything.  It also means that you learn who you are in the world while you take steps to be a better steward of our planet and everything on it. This year's Green Living Festival covers it all.  There will be speakers and demonstrators on composting, meditation, living debt-free, and creating a healthy home.  The exhibition hall...

We had the opportunity to stage a property in this fabulous new development called Midtown.  Midtown is a Reavis-Comer developed located in downtown Charleston.  It is a mix of single family homes and Condominiums with various price ranges.  The architecture is sleek and stunning and the builder spared no expense in the finishing touches. This development has some of Charleston's best agents on the roster and we have truly enjoyed working with them.  We were competing with some other really great staging companies in town, so we were very honored to have received this job and are hopeful we will get to stage more of this development.  Below are some before and after photos of the unit we staged.

As everyone looks to cut corners financially, do not forget about the great resource we have here in Charleston County - our public library system. Here are a few great reasons to go to the library. Why pay $4 for a movie rental when you can pick one up for free and keep it for a week at the library? Why buy a new book when you can get it at the library for free? There is free computer access at all locations. There are great programs for children and adults - why spend $40 going to the movies when you can enjoy great stuff at the library for free. Pick up books on tape and enjoy listening in your car. You can read the paper there or browse just about any magazine you can think of. Here is a list of our local Charleston County Libraries: Main - 68 Calhoun Cooper River - 3503 Rivers Ave....

Charleston Area Buyers and Sellers get Snapshot of Charleston Real Estate Market since 2005 through Interactive Real Estate Maps The Charleston Regional Business Journal recently released a set of Interactive Real Estate Maps allowing viewers to see 2008 Foreclosure Rates per South Carolina County and Home Sales in the Lowcountry (Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester Counties) since 2005.

With mortgage rates at record lows, many people are looking to refinance. Here are 7 things you need to know in today's market. Percentage Point break - a good rule of thumb is that the rate needs to be a full percentage point less than your current rate. Half rejected - with so many people looking to refinance and the tight credit market, do not expect to be automatically approved even if you do have a lot of equity in your home. FICO scores - 720 used to be the Gold Standard, now they are looking for 740 and above to get the best rate. Lower FICO scores equal a higher interest rate. Equity & Documentation - equity is key and you must be able to document the equity and will also have to document your income and assets. Fee Paying Options - fees range widely depending on each lender and...
