SELLER ADVICE FOR THE BEAUFORT SC REAL ESTATE MARKET.............
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR HOME IS WORTH IN TODAY'S MARKET?......................................Many homeowners are finding their values decreasing.........not what anyone who needs to sell wants to hear but what we will all hear when the time comes to refi or sell. Until the market inventory returns to normal and the underpriced foreclosures have been absorbed by the market, we will continue to face lower values. Realtors will be very happy to give you a comparative market analysis of your home in regard to the current market. Just give us a call!
WHAT CAN A SELLER DO?..................................................Pricing your home fairly along with putting it in top notch condition then trusting a qualified Realtor to market your home professionally is really still the best guarantee of success. Painting, landscaping, cleaning and decluttering go a long way to make your property shine. So find the time or hire someone with the skills and get that home in the best possible condition! Many homeowners are proactively securing a home inspection so they know of any problems ahead of a contract and securing estimates for those needed repairs and having them completed. Ask your tax consultant about deductions for the expenses to sell your home.

Beaufort SC Named #1 Small Town by Southern Living's Travel Readers' Choice Awards January 2009
To be named #1 Small Town is quite an honor but not surprising to those of us who call Beaufort SC home. We love our small town with its moss draped trees, historic homes, abundant waterways, pristine marshes and estuaries that provide habitat to a wide array of marine life, as well as mild winter temperatures such as today at 68 degrees. Those who love to fish, boat and golf can enjoy those activities most of the year. Hunting Island State Park offers a great beach with picnic facilities and an historic lighthouse which you can climb. Our community is made up of young families raising their children as well as transplanted retirees who come for our milder climate, golf and boating. Volunteerism in our community organizations benefit's the community by utilizing the experience of those who have worked in many diverse fields. Real estate in Beaufort SC is reasonable and available to meet the needs of a wide population. We are also home to a Marine Air Base and the better known Marine training facility Parris Island. The film industry has discovered our shores and decided they were excellent for many movies. It is especially exciting when they are filming in town and locals can audition as extras. A walk down Bay Street will find restaurants, shopping, bars and art galleries galore as we have a large artist population. Come for a visit but watch out, you may decide to stay for life! If so, we will welcome you and help you grow to love our town.
Where to Retire magazine, a publication aimed at helping people with retirement decisions, named Beaufort SC one of its top eight "cost-cutting, low-tax towns" in America in a recent issue. Where to Retire editor, Mary Lu Abbott, wrote that Beaufort has "ample access to water for boating, crabbing and other activities, as well as a strong art scene and volunteering opportunities."
We are proud of our retiree population which comes from all over the US and abroad. As Mary Lu wrote in the article, we offer all the above in addition to a nice quality of life. Housing choices abound with something for everyone, whether that be golf, fishing, or boating. Beaufort is a quaint southern town, rich in history, enveloped in a gentle lifestyle that enjoys our environment. Visit for a weekend and see for yourself.
