Leamington has approved the use of the Main gate on 278 for agents with clients!  See their note below.  Good Job, Good Job Leamington Owners!

 We in the Leamington community of Palmetto Dunes are very proud of the work done to make our community a residential community of choice with prospective buyers of homes and villas. We would like to share with new prospective buyers of homes in Leamington our new entrance at the 278 gate. Normally all REALTORS® are only permitted through our Ocean Gate as the 278 gate is only for residents and visitors of residents.

We would like to open up our 278 gate to Realtors® who have potential buyers with them. This will allow the prospective buyers the opportunity to see the beauty of the new entrance and more importantly show them where they as a resident will be entering and exiting Leamington. This year we invested a significant amount of money to improve our 278 entrance. In addition in the next few months the city of Hilton Head will be installing a new traffic light at our entrance to help improve the safety of all people who enter or exit the 278 location. Hopefully potential new homeowners will have a better view of Leamington that will help them in their buying decision.

Never thought Google could help sell a home, but we have written up 3 contracts in the last few days where the buyer made their offers “site unseen”.  These buyers may never have seen the property, but they know it well.  Their decision is based on Google, Zillow, MLS and all the internet research they have completed. They looked at all the photos, the virtual tours, checked out the location with Google Earth and even visited the courthouse online to review the relevant history of the property.
