“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.

The aerial photo drone is a game changer in marketing resort real estate.  Selling resort real estate is not just about marketing property, it’s about selling lifestyle and amenities.  High resolution aerial photography shows the location to nearby value builders including the beach, golf, tennis, marinas, marshes and lagoons.  We are now using aerial photography in all of our Hilton Head listings as it helps us sell the sizzle.  Read the rest of this entry

View has a big impact on the ultimate market time and selling price of Hilton Head Real Estate.  That’s because Hilton Head buyers determine value based on the view out the back door.   The bigger the view, the bigger the price.  This can make identical villas in the same community vary in value by thousands of dollars and is typically factored in when buying or selling a Hilton Head Property.

Determining View Value on Hilton Head

View value on Hilton Head can be determined by comps, past histories, market research or a knowledgeable local Realtor.  One way to determine view value is to “shop” or compare similar properties in the neighborhood with equal views.  Because the value of Hilton Head real estate is based on view, values on Zillow and Trulia are usually off.  If you are wondering what the true view value is, shoot me an email, call me at (843)785-71111 or pop in anytime.  Thank  you.

Happy May Days From Hilton Head Island!  May offers less rain than any other month and temperatures hover in the 80’s.   Perfect weather for the many outdoor events including the Windmill Harbour Boat Show, The Annual Dog Walk on Coligny Beach, Mothers Day, The Annual Bluffton Village Festival, The Shelter Cove Farmers Market, Kiwanis Rib Burnoff, The 6th Annual Hilton Head Arts Festival, Gregg Russell, and to kick summer officially off, Memorial Day on Hilton Head’s Beaches.

 One shot at a great first impression – Buyers no longer jump in the car to check out a property.  In fact, over 90% of all real estate searches start on the internet.  Therefore, just as important as mowing the lawn and painting the front door in anticipation of the buyer are high quality photos and content on the internet.   We all have passed over the listing with dark photos and “Great House” in the remarks looking for something better.  The first impression makes a difference more than ever on the internet.
