I came across this photo called "AN EARLY MORNING SAIL." The talented photographer is a friend of mine, Pam Bredin, of Hilton Head Island. I hope everyone enjoys the serene beauty this photo evokes.
I recently came across some interesting tidbits of history concerning Hilton Head Island. What most visitors to our island don't realize, is how relatively "new" our island really is. Unlike Charleston and Savannah, Hilton Head Island was basically created from the early 1950's to present. So, I hope you find some of these facts of interest.
In subsequent blogs, I'll bring you up to date on the more recent island history. Stay tuned!
FOR INFORMATION ABOUT HILTON HEAD AND BLUFFTON REAL ESTATE, PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE. I WELCOME YOUR INQUIRES!
The Town of Hilton Head and Beaufort County recently announced the purchase of 257 acres of pristine land that is located OFF island. Now, this strikes me as just a bit odd due to the fact that Hilton Head Residents are funding this purchase. However, let me stress that I am in favor of ANY land being protected from future developement if it is as pristine and beautiful as the Ulmer Family land that was included in this purchase.
The purchase was made possible through the Beaufort County Rural and Critical Land Preservation Program. While the original owners will still retain some development rights, the ability to split it into tiny miniscule building lots has been removed. They may still divide it into 25 smaller farm tracts but cannot develop it.
I'm sure there will be some Hilton Head residents who will question this purchase? But in the end, this purchase benefits all of us. One more tract of land is off the developer's horizon.

We first met Diane by viewing her website and inquiring about some listings in Hilton Head. She was super about keeping us up to date with what was on the market as well as answering every single question we had about the area. Once we closed on our new home and moved to Hilton Head, we felt like long-time residents due to all the help Diane provided with the move. Jim and Jill Nielson
We met Diane and Jennifer through Localism----they are experts on the HIlton Head and Bluffton areas
Diane was my Realtor when I lived in another community. After I saw her advertising in the local newspaper, I contacted her to purchase a secone home/investment property.
I owned two properties (one here in Bluffton and one in California) and was desperate to sell the Bluffton property. I selected Diane as my Realtor and although we didn't get the buyer I needed, she assisted me with finding a rental agent who provided a quality tenant. This worked marvels for my bottom line. Thanks Diane. Casey in California
With Jennifer being a former teacher in the Beaufort County School System, it was really helpful for us to get a handle on the local schools. She helped us so much.
I've now purchased 3 apartment to villa conversions from Diane and she led me every step of the way. Highly recommended! Bob Mc Cormick
I wanted to move to Hilton Head but knew I would be traveling a lot and needed a good local airport. Voila, Diane and Jennifer gave me all of my options. When I found out I could fly from the Hilton Head airport to Atlanta, that cemented my decision to buy on the island. Allan
Diane was my real estate agent when I purchased my new home in Bluffton. At the time, I was a single mother and had never bought a house before. I felt like I was in great hands--What a professional Diane truly is. Selma Stuart
We recently met with Jennifer and Diane Bell to start our search for a home on Hilton Head Island. Having corresponded with them for almost a year, we felt like we are already best friends. To sum it up, our experience with their professionalism was outstanding. We will soon be putting an offer in on our dream home. Simone and Jim Hendrerson.
Diane and Jennifer's vast internet marketing program sure did impress us when we chose them to list our home in Bluffton. We know, from past experience, that newspaper advertising has limited success with today's consumer. Their proactive approach to marketing our home gave us hope for a quick sale. Deb McGovern
I was referred to Diane by my Realtor in Florida. I had a rather dismal experience with trying to sell my home prior to listing it with Diane. She walked me through the process and held my hand every step of the way. Thanks, Diane
Jennifer met us for the first time at an Open House in the Bluffton area. Although we didn't buy that particular home, she worked relentlessly with us to find our dream home in Bluffton.
We just started working with Diane and Jennifer. Even though we're new in the process, we're very happy with our Realtor.
