It’s time to be quiet and greedy!

Dear Clients, Friends and Fellow Associates~

 
The Real Estate Market right now on Hilton Head Island is a lot  like an auction.  The other day I went to an auction and watched most of  the pre-qualified bidders waiting for a sign or signal before making their move.  While these “bidders” twisted in their seats, a few market brave buyers made their bids, but only one very quiet bidder sitting in a corner ultimately got the property.  In my opinion that buyer made money that day and is smiling all the way to the bank.
 
It is time to be greedy and quiet! Warren Buffet best said “Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful”………………..+++CLICK HERE TO READ MORE.

Here’s what else you can find in this week’s news:
 

+++CLICK HERE for a PASS or Fail Exam for serious sellers.  Makeup exams will be next year for sellers that fail this exam.

+++CLICK HERE for our fall mini vacation for buyers including a $1000 travel allowance and warranty. 

+++CLICK HERE for a free warranty for listings & our buyers purchases

+++CLICK HERE for our dream big program for current property owners.

We look forward to hearing from you soon and seeing you this fall on the Island! 

 

All the Best~

Hound Dogs and More!

Dear Friends, Clients and Fellow Associates~

 

Buyers in the recent past have been a lot like my hound dog.  Every once in awhile you get their attention, but if a butterfly floats by or a poor day on the stock market takes place, the buyer and the hound head off in a different direction.  I started thinking about this the other morning when I was out walking my hound dog Sheeba.  As she poked around looking for scent, I called her several times and finally got her attention.  As she started heading in my direction, something distracted her and off she went back on her original course…+++CLICK HERE FOR MORE

TREESTOCK
We Move BIG Trees

A Note From Woody:
We are blessed here on Hilton Head Island and the LowCountry with many old and large trees. We also have tree protection ordinances in place to keep their beauty in our area for future generations. Trees not only add beauty but they are extremely beneficial to us all in many ways. Just a few are providing privacy to your home, cooling shade in the summer, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and replacing it with oxygen, and roots providing protection against soil erosion. All this is great and wonderful, but trees need to be in the right space to provide benefits. Large protruding roots next to a house foundation or walkway can cause cracks and eventually destroy man-made structures. Falling branches over houses have been known to injure people in addition to destroying property.
Don’t take trees for granted and assume all is well because there are leaves on our trees. We must continually evaluate their location, mature size possibilities, health, soil condition and structural integrity in order to do what is right for them, our environment and us. We need to provide periodic evaluations by a certified arborist to determine the best course of action in our yards and landscapes.
If you desire help in this area or need some trees feel free to give me a call for an informal evaluation of the trees on your property.

Taxes on Hilton Head Island ~ A tale of two taxes

1 Comment | Leave A Comment Categories: Communities and Areas, Taxes, Insurance and Ownership Expenses

Here is the latest on our property taxes from my friend and accountant Bob Arundell.  If you wish to contact him or ask him a question, Bob can be reached at (843)785-8040 or his email is bob@mhalawfirm.com

Robbie:

A lot of people came away from a recent article about an adjustment to the School District’s tax mill rate with the idea that their tax bill, when compared to last year’s tax bill, was going up.  THAT IS NOT CORRECT.

The complexity and nuances of public education funding makes it real easy for the average person to arrive at an erroneous conclusion.

I did a presentation to the Chamber of Commerce’s Government Affairs Committee and used a hand-out that I thought you might find useful.  It explains what really happened and why, on average, your taxes did not go up. Click on the underlined link to read more: BCSD – Tale of Two Taxes

Call me if you have any questions.
