I received an email yesterday from a buyer wanting some general information about Beaufort's sister city of Por Royal, so I jotted down a few thoughts. Port Royal is a fantastic area. It has a downtown area that is very cool, with a different vibe than downtown Beaufort. There are currently 13 h...

The asking price was $62,000, which is an attention-getting price for this area.My buyer loved it, and wanted to make an offer. By the time I called the listing age...
