Hilton Head Buyers are “window shopping” more than ever before with information literally at their fingertips.  Their computers become the storefronts for searching  Hilton Head Homes, Hilton Head Villas, Hilton Head Lots, Hilton Head Foreclosures, Hilton Head Short Sales, Daufuskie Properties and other great listings.  Nowadays a buyer can shop for real estate without anyones help, but it can be a lot more productive with the virtual assistance of a Hilton Head Realtor.  Read the rest of this entry

My coach corrected me other day when I told him that we were asking some silly asking prices on some of the properties around Hilton Head and Daufuskie Island.  He told me to take “silly” out of my presentation and replace it with “fair market value”  I had been protecting myself and my sellers from reality by using the word “silly”.  Made me think about all the sellers that had told me that they will “wait it out” because they were not going to “give” their property away.   Read the rest of this entry

America’s economy moves when real estate sells.  It is that simple.  In every economic downturn, real estate has turned it around.  Of course real estate is selling again, but not fast enough.  One way to really super charge this economy is to refer your local Realtor or Hilton Head Realtor to just five buyers and sellers.  By referring a real estate agent, you will now be fueling the economy with new buyers or sellers and taking charge of our countries future.  The nice thing about referring a real estate agent on Hilton Head Island is that not everyone has one and many dream of someday owning property in a beautiful sub-tropical area like this.

What can you do to help the Hilton Head economy turn around?

Your real estate agent probably spends more time prospecting than actual selling today and we all need to be out selling more.  Buyers used to be easy to find, however now with the internet they are harder than ever for agents to identify and to help.  If you were to send your agent just five(5) new e-mail contacts from your sphere of influence, you would be giving this country a big boost and speed up the process.  Whether it is contacts from work, church, school, family, the club or acquaintances this grass roots move will help this economy move faster and forward.  It is really that simple.  Thank you.

Do you dream of living on Hilton Head Island?  Are you budget conscious?  Good news!  Iit is now cheaper to own a home rather than renting a similar home on Hilton Head Island.  Based on the low mortgage costs and the attractive pricing the Island offers, the buyer in our example saved approximately 12% extra* per month.  With the rising costs of rents and a limited availability of good rental properties, future residents should consider buying property rather than renting a property in the current market.

The current Hilton Head Real estate market is difficult to understand and with a partner it may be near impossible.  I met a client the other day that has “partner real estate” in Hilton Head and he told me he has been chasing the market for the last few years because of his partners.  Seems every time he wants to set a price, his partners outbid him and set a listing price higher than what the market will entertain.

The other day I stopped at a local shop on the Island.  The owner was friendly and I asked him “how’s business?”.  His answer was “I work every day”.  After walking away I thought about his answer as it not only stated a work ethic it stated so much more.  It was said in a tone of pride and gratitude that he had customers, he had a business and he had the ability to serve them.  Wow.

Jane and I work every day on Hilton Head Island

As we work forward in real estate, when someone asks us “How’s Business?”, our reply is going to be “We work every day” .  We are grateful for our clients,  the work they give us and the chance to have a business on this wonderful Island.  With pride and gratitude we can make a difference in their lives.
