Sellers and buyers take note, the busiest selling season on Hilton Head Real Estate is not summer!  Summertime, the agenda for most visitors is a vacation with maybe a quick last minute visit with a local Realtor.  Actually, the best two selling seasons are Spring and Fall with the biggest selling months October and April on  Hilton Head Island.

Summer 2014 – “It’s all about Home”  magazine is out!  This magazine includes great properties, useful articles, resources and rental information for Hilton Head, Daufuskie and Bluffton.   We have sent these to the printer and if you would like to receive a printed copy, please click here and let us know.  Just click on the magazine below to read the online version.  Thank you. 


“Sail Around” is a large powder coated steel sculpture measuring 16 feet tall, 4 feet wide and 6 feet deep. “Sail Around” was part of the 2013 Public Art Exhibition at Honey Horn; however, it was not selected as the winner of the exhibition. The artist donated this piece to the Town’s public art collection at the conclusion of the exhibition.  The powder-coated steel structure sets up a dynamic series of implied movements between its independent parts while its title “Sail Around” makes clear connections to the element of nautical discovery part of Hilton Head Island’s past and present.

We have put together a chart of the Hilton Head Area communities, their POA fees(association costs), whether membership is required or optional, their location and what their transfer fees are(if any).  We will be updating this on a regular basis.  Please let us know if you have any questions or updated information.

We have done our best to verify these fees and charges, but they are subject to verification by all parties. The communities and golf courses listed here have been hyperlinked to their official website. This will make it easier to review these communities from your community. If you are planning to visit the area, please note that many of the properties in the Hilton Head Area are located in private communities behind security gates and can only be accessed with a Realtor.  If you find a great Hilton Head Property, please contact one of our agents or your Realtor to make arrangements today.

1.  The town charges a quarter of one percent transfer fee.  The transfer fee is typically paid for by the purchaser and is used to purchase lands that have been turned into parks or green space.  The town has now accumulated over 1000 acres.  The fee is collected by Beaufort County and turned over to the town.

2.  Many of the Hilton Head Island communities charge a transfer fee.  While this fee can be paid by the buyer or seller in negotiation, many of the communities are using this fee to update their infrastructure.  You can review the community transfer fees  and contact the appropriate manager for more information.

3.  Buyers Agency.  Buyers can get representation in a real estate transaction and the agent will paid by the published co-op offered by the seller.  Buyers benefit working with knowledgeable agents with buyer representation when it comes time to negotiate, contingencies, market insights and getting the property to closing.

4.   Closings require an attorney for both the buyer and seller.  South Carolina does not offer title companies or round table closings with everyone at the same table.  Purchasers and sellers choose an attorney for closing.  The attorneys will than do the work necessary to close the property and arrange the exchange of the monies and keys after all the documents are signed and delivered.

5.  Hilton Head Market Trends are local.  How much negotiation can you expect on a villa over 1 million.  How long should it take to sell your home if it is properly priced?  These answers are not that difficult to answer with our Monthly Market Trend Report.  This market research gives a snapshot of the market and helps guide a buyer or seller when they are negotiating.

6.  Hilton Head Property Taxes.  Taxes are always billed in arrears and the seller will be crediting the buyer for the time that they have owned the property on the settlement statement based on their status of resident(4%) or non-resident(6%).  These taxes are based on millage and can be computed here.
