Over the past few days, there has been a few strange “animal occurrences” in Bluffton and on Hilton Head.
On Monday, a wayward goat – yes, goat – found itself on the Charles E. Fraser Bridge, the west end of the Cross Island Parkway.   After attempts of corralling the animal, the goat decided one of it’s best options was to jump; [...]

I recently had a conversation with my sister-in-law, a higher up at one of the local Bluffton/Savannah surveying and land planning companies, about how it is possible to to construct “green” buildings using the smartest practices available in the Lowcountry, and of LEED standards, while still falling short of the highest levels of LEED certifications.  If that seems confusing, don’t feel [...]

Realty Times, a real estate news network, recently released a video on the market conditions in Beaufort County. Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, Palmetto Bluff and numerous other luxury home and golf communities are located in southern Beaufort County.
This is some rather interesting information for anyone looking to purchase a home in the Bluffton and [...]

A short while back, the folks at HGTV had finally revealed the Green Dream Home. There was a lot of speculation of just where this home was being built – a fare amount done by yours truly. With little hoopla the location was announced to be in the development of Tradition Hilton Head.

2007 may well be remembered as one of the worst years in real estate for the Bluffton and HHI area, statistically, but statistics are rarely the full story.  A great many of the buyers who purchased a home may one day look back on this year as the year they found a great bargain.

The Coastal Living Holiday Coastal Cottage in Palmetto Bluff is under contract.  It’s of little surprise that this beautiful home did not last long on the market.  The Coastal Cottage was a perfect example of the well appointed and finely detailed cottages being built in The Point neighborhood of Palmetto Bluff. 
If you feel you [...]

Whoo hoo!!
This may call for a small celebration, of sorts.  I just may have to treat my family and myself to a night of South Carolina oysters – they’re in season, ya know – and a few age appropriate beverages.  [...]

I was recently contacted by a reporter from another local news publication about an article focused on how the Bluffton, South Carolina real estate market compares with the rest of the country.  After about four recent interviews I have realized it is best to perform these interviews via e-mail rather than phone or in person, mostly [...]
