Your personal home-buying schedule doesn’t have to correspond with the real estate market! In fact, buying during the “off-season” can yield tremendous advantages on Hilton Head Island!

The “off season” on the Island offers easier access to some of the best properties for sale. The Island’s off season includes the months of November, December, January and February.  During this time of year the pace is slower, dinner reservations are not necessary and their is less competition bidding on the properties for sale

If you’re buying a home or villa, you may just want to begin looking for your dream home during this period of time. Here’s why: Read the rest of this entry

Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.  Say goodbye to plastic grocery bags on Hilton Head Island.  Beginning November 1, all retailers are prohibited from providing customers with single-use plastic carryout bags.  Marine birds and sea turtles can mistake plastic bag pieces as food.  Hilton Head Properties Realty and Rentals supports this environmental effort with our reusable grocery bags.  They are also great for the beach!  Beginning immediately, all vacation rental properties managed by Hilton Head Properties will have these strong totes for use by our guests and clients.   Be kind to the environment and visit us at www.HHPRandR.com.

More and more agents are selling properties using “face time” with their buyers.  In the past, buyers had to travel to see the property before they would ever consider purchasing.  Using face time and turning the phone around allows a buyer to walk through a property with their agent, asking questions as they go.  Some buyers never stepped foot in the property until closing.

Selling your Hilton Head property may be an idea you are seriously considering, but that does not mean you are ready to put your home or villa on the market just yet. You may be waiting to pay off your mortgage, you may be waiting for the kids to move out, or you may not be ready yet to part with all the memories yet.  But that does not mean you don’t have to start preparing your property to sell.
