Yesterday was a very interesting day for me. I had a property close that had been listed with me for a short while. The agent that sold the property was pleasant to work with but largely had no communication with me through the process. And I mean NO COMMUNICATION! Some of you may recall that I had written about this transaction previously.
I stopped by the house to pick up the lockbox and the new owner met me in the driveway somewhat distraught. Seems she was putting up a fence for her dogs when the neighbor came over to let her know her backyard was about 1/4 of the size she thought it was. Her Buyer's Agent had indicated a property line to her that was incorrect. I asked her if she had a plot plan. She said no. Apparently the Buyer's Agent neglected to provide a plot plan to her that would clearly have shown the layout of the lot and something that is readily available to us in our selling resources.
What does this story tell us? As buyer's agents, we must never let our guard down.......we have fiduciary obligations to those buyer's and they deserve better than this type of representation.

Real Estate in the Lowcountry consists primarily of property located on Hilton Head Island and off-island in Bluffton, SC, one of the fastest growingi areas in the United States. Families relocate to the Hilton Head and Bluffton area from all over the world. Ohio, New York, New Jersey and Virginia are our largest feeder markets. Another area where we see a lot of relocations from is Atlanta, Georgia. With Atlanta being a short 4 hour drive to the Hilton Head area, families enjoy coming here on weekends to enjoy the beaches. Recently families from Canada have discovered the beauty of our island and starting to relocate as well as vacation here.

Apartment to Condo Conversions are another speciality. We have had many conversions both on and off island in the past few years.

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.
