On when the Shark bites !! Do you feel like the sharks are circling around the sinking ship? For, far too many that is what is happening, between short sales, foreclosures and REO’s it’s a feeding frenzy out there. What can be done, you want to buy a home, but your not sure where to turn. You heard a friend say he had a friend who got a great deal on a foreclosure, so you start to think the

The other day while driving home from Charleston, fusing about the traffic from the widening of Hwy 17 I realized that a part of the lowcountry was going to disappear. A change in time was taking shape in the form of old buildings in disrepair, not that it had not already been slowly going away, but actual buildings that I had taken for granted through the forty plus years that I have traveled

There have been numerous articles recently about the quality of water in the May River and other pristine waterways that are a part of the lowcountry estuary system. (I have posted a few below) They all lead back to one problem. Our county and town governments have dropped the ball on inspecting the way retention ponds are built, where they flow too, and how do they filtrate the pollutants that

We are making a difference and our federal government is leading the way. A recent article was in our local paper describing a new environmental study that will be done along the North and South Carolina coast and several other distinctive ecosystems in the USA. These studies will embrace the aspects of an ecosystem, not just a single aspect of the ecosystem, but how it all interacts which

What is the character of Bluffton? That is what the town has been trying to wrestle with over the past few years. A number of years ago we would see bumper stickers proclaiming Bluffton "State of Mind", and I for one was never sure what that state of mind was. The characters that I knew in Bluffton often had altered state's of mind!! I don't think that is what they had in mind when they made the

I'm not one to believe in conspiracies, but it it is getting ridiculous what Beaufort County has been doing to the Roller family. Today I read that the county had a judge put a cease and hold on paving their parking lot. Hence Sea Trawlers restaurant cannot open, because they cannot get a Certificate of Occupancy until their parking lot is completed.Apparently Mr. Roller paved a strip of land

We all want to buy low and sell high. That is the optium in any kind of of investment strategy. In the real estate market, as like in other markets, it is difficult to predict when the market has peaked and when it has hit bottom. The traditional investment strategy for real estate is long term and hence will weather the highs and lows over time. Buyer's in the real estate market between 2005 and
