Here’s the skinny on the upcoming delinquent tax sale for Beaufort  County.  The opening bid  includes, delinquent taxes for 2010, all penalties and fees, plus the current year taxes for 2011. This is the minimum opening bid.  They accept Visa!  Owners will have up to 12 months to redeem their real property paying you interest for the time that you carried the property (interest shall not exceed the opening bid).  If real property is not redeemed, a delinquent tax sale deed is issued to the successful bidder.  All stamp fees and preparation costs must be paid prior to the deed recording and the property is deeded lien free.   If you would like to do a little digging or due diligence on any of the properties, give me a call at (843)842-0805 or send me an email at robbie@robbiebunting.com.

One of the most common questions about Hilton Head Island is the year round weather. This short video covers the three seasons of weather for Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. With all the seasons, but shorter winters, Hilton Head Island is subtropical and averages over 200 days of sunshine.  We invite you to visit Hilton Head this fall or winter and experience it for yourself.  You may never leave and therefore we suggest you looking at these awesome properties!

For a six-month period starting on June 1, hurricane season is now upon us.  In a recent statement National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Jane Lubchenco said, “NOAA’s outlook predicts a less-active season compared to recent years. But regardless of the outlook, it’s vital for anyone living or vacationing in hurricane-prone locations to be prepared.”  For hurricane updates visit the NOAA Hurricane Center at www.nhc.noaa.gov  and below we have a short video below.  

One of the top questions we get asreal estate agents on Hilton Head Island is what about the Hurricanes? The short video above addresses the unique location of Hilton Head. Of course, we suggest being safe and plan ahead first and foremost. In this video Robbie Bunting and Jane Hyers cover what typically happens to the storms that travel along the east coast and how Hilton Head’s unique location has been a blessing. Knocking on the wood of a 300+ year old oak that we are sitting under helps support this theory!
