Home and Car Insurance on Hilton Head Island
We had a client ask us about insurance a few months ago and we suggested she contact our friends Robbie and Brook at Turbeville Insurance Agency in Beaufort. She told us that she not only save over $1,000 on our policy and got better coverage, she also saved hundred on her auto insurance. This kind of savings may benefit our clients, so we are passing it on to you.

We have our own language when it comes to Hilton Head real estate. We say villas, regimes, harbours and complexes when others would call them condos, condo fees, marinas, PUD’s and projects. We use the word regime for condos in Hilton Head because when a condo is built in South Carolina, a Horizontal Property Regime is formed and recorded. This regime than manages the common property going forward. This blog is about regimes fees on Hilton Head Island. Read the rest of this entry

Updtate: Beaufort County will raise the millage, click here for more information
Beaufort County is considering raising the millage for 2nd homes, investments and commercial properties. Their resident neighbors pay far less in tax and the increase could take the second home millage rate up another 2 mills. Currently, the only source Beaufort County has to increase revenues for school operations is to raise the tax millage on commercial and non-resident property owners.

Flood Insurance ~ Hilton Head Island, SC
Flood insurance coverage is purchased separately from homeowner’s coverage. The primary flood insurance comes from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) which is underwritten by our Federal Government and administered by FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The maximum limits of primary flood coverage available in the Hilton Head Area is $250,000 coverage for a building and $100,000 coverage for its eligible contents(typically no more than $365 per year for maximum coverage). Flood insurance is a low cost way to secure coverage to repair or replace improved and personal property if they are damaged by flooding.
Good News Flood Insurance Extension
The U.S. Senate has passed a 60-day extension of the National Flood Insurance Program, avoiding a lapse in coverage due to expire May 31. While this is temporary good news, the National Association of REALTORS® is firmly committed to working with Congress to pass a 5-year extension of the program.

The other day one of our clients that buys and sells Hilton Head real estate on a regular basis sent us this article on high end mortgages(Click Here). We asked around for some ideas as to what this could mean and found out the following: Alt-A are wall street securities allow for high quality borrowers to qualify outside of the fannie mae guidelines. So loans higher than $417k can be made to borrowers who have assets but little tax return income, etc etc etc. This may mean that the street will soon be back into the market, which would mean the return of alt-A mortgage products. Which would be interesting. Or it could mean more traders have found a way to heavily profit from mortgages for a third time , with no added value ( of course ).
For more information, or discussion, please contact me. Thank you.

The Medicare Tax is a 3.8% tax that goes into effect January 1, 2013 and it does not apply to all Hilton Head owners. Only “high income” owners with Adjusted Gross Incomes(AGI) of more than $200,000 for individuals or more than $250,000 for married couples will have to deal with this new tax. As well, it does not apply to principle residences under $500,000 held jointly or $250,000 for a single. We suggest checking with your financial counselors to see if it is beneficial to sell before this new tax is put into place. The reason it is called a Medicare Tax is that this money will be allocated to the Medicare Trust Fund that is part of the Social Security System.
