Sitting just aross the river from downtown Charleston, South Carolina is the USS Yorktown. The Yorktown was the tenth aircraft carrier to serve in the U. S. Navy. Charleston maintains the Patriot's Point Maritime Museum which opened in the summer of 1975 when the legendary aircraft carrier USS Yorktown appeared in Charleston Harbor. The USS Yorktown was dedicated as the first ship at the Naval & Maritime Museum on the 200th birthday of the United States Navy. Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum was officially opened to the public on January 3, 1976.

"I would like to take this opportunity to let you know of the outstanding service I received and continue to receive from one of your agents, Randall Sandin. As a military member transferring to the Charleston area, I only had a short time to find a house. Randall sent me e-mails with listings prior to my arrival so I would have an idea of what the area had to offer. Randall and I agreed on days and times to meet, and he was always ready to go when I arrived. This was a pleasant surprise as I have found that most agents that I have dealt with in the past were far from punctual. Once Randall had an idea to see what I liked and didn't, he immediately focused on houses he knew would fit my needs. The house I ended up renting was not originally for rent, but instead for sale. Randall went o...

Please be advised that the temporary funding for the National Flood Insurance Program will expire yet again on 5/31/2010.  New flood insurance policies and increases to existing policies may not be available unless congress reauthorizes the program.  We've been though this cycle twice already this year and policy availability has had a temporary lapse both times and can possibly delay closings.

What does BANK OWNED mean in Charleston, SC Real Estate Market ? Sounds simple, but how does a bank own a house ?  It takes time to unfold, but it goes like this:  Homeowner has a mortgage and occupies the home. Homeowner defaults on payments. Mortgage company (or bank) places a lein on property and turns file over to local Masters-in-equity.  Masters-in-equity, a branch of the county government court system, conducts a public auction to sell the property.  The auction is held at the county courthouse. Often times, the bank buys the property back and then later sells the property as a bank owned property.  Due to defective or clouded titles, caution must be used when buying a home from a courthouse auction. My recent experience at the Charleston County Courthouse auction was that the ba...

Here are two recent client testimonials I received: "A awesome team that took the extra step above any any other real estate agent...would definitely refer to any friend or family member anytime!!!!" - Cassie T. "I really can't say enough about our level of satisfaction with Randall.  He was incredibly patient and positive while we casually looked at homes for a number of months prior to becoming serious, taking us to see places on almost every weekend.  Once we did become more serious buyers, he always seemed to strike the perfect balance between being no pressure and patient while being professional, knowledgeable and focused on ensuring that we got what we wanted.   And we did.  You spend a lot of time with your realtor when you are looking for a home and when you enjoy that time bec...

Buying a Home with Good Resale Value. Looking to own your own home? It is only natural to be excited while buying a home. However, you need to make an informed decision because your home can act as a long-term investment. One thing you have to consider is the resale value of the home you choose. You might move to a bigger house at a later point in life and will want to sell you house at a profit when that happens. Analyzing the resale value of your home even before you buy it can prove to be fruitful when you decide to move. It might take more work from your side, but it will be worth it when you make extra money while selling it. Location is the most important thing to consider while analyzing a houses’ resale value. Neighborhoods that are in demand is always a preferred choice for mo...

Rent is the New Buy! Rent to Own and Lease Option homes for sale in South Carolina: In the loosely translated words of an old world genius, for every action there is an opposite reaction. This theory can be found in real estate just as it is found in physical and other situations. Real estate investment goes in cycles. The current action trend is the foreclosure of millions of homes. The reaction to that is the necessity for all of those displaced by foreclosure to find suitable homes to live in. Since the typical homeowner that has been foreclosed on has no means by which to obtain a new loan or purchase a home in another manner, the rental market is now booming. So those who may have been looking at real estate to purchase may now be looking to rent a home. You can rent or lease to ow...

It's no wonder that NAR says that, "90% of all buyers used the internet to search." We have seen this first hand, and especially over the last few months. When people relocate to other states, it's a long distance move. These people usually start by researching the city on the Internet. More times than not, they find one of our 1,100+ relocation websites. If they're serious, they'll request help in a possible home purchase. Due to a very large demand, we need a Buyer's Agent in Charleston that is able to assist these prospective home buyers. These families and individuals are wanting assistance from a Realtor, and if you would like to get in contact with them, we need to talk soon. Time is of the essence, and we only need 1 Realtor to be able to contact these people. We NEVER send peopl...
