Good Day to all,

I wanted to take a moment and reach out to All potential Investors and Home Buyers looking up & down the Grand Strand Area. Some of you may have been watching the market with close observation over the past several months; watching for that moment to get serious in acquiring your beautiful property along the Coastal Carolinas.

Recent activity has spiked a great deal this Month in April. In just the past couple of weeks, I have seen properties in North Myrtle Beach, SC sell for huge discounts! Among these are both Direct Oceanfront and Second Row Single family Homes/Duplexes and Triplexes. Below is a link to some current SOLDS that have taking place in the Cherry Grove section of North Myrtle Beach, SC. 4-4Br/4Ba Oceanfront Triplex that SOLD for 1.1 Mil1/2 Duplex SOLD for $600K Second Row to the BeachGoregeous Oceanviews

With these current SOLDS, price comparables for other existing properties on the market or soon to come on the Market have dropped dramatically!! Oceanfront prices per SqFt have fallen to at least $244.44 and Second Row prices have dropped to $133.33. If you have been looking for a Oceanfront/Second Row or so Beach Property, just take the Heated SqFt and multiply by my numbers above. You will see, these are huge price drops!!

2- 4Br/4Ba Duplex 2nd Row to the Beach SOLD for $525K

I'm seeing amazing buying opportunities happening all around. Other people are garnering great deals and beautiful properties up and down the Beach; are you missing the Boat?? If you have been wanting to get that place somewhere along the Grand Strand, now would be the time to get into mix. Don't become one those people back during 2005-06 that said " Wow, I could have bought that place for a 100-200K less a year ago"

5Br/4ba 2400 SqFt Home in Cherry Grove SOLD for $335KPrivate (dipping) poolDinning Room/Kitchen w/ Hardwood Floors

If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to call on me anytime. I would love the opportunity to discuss matters in more detail with anyone who has interest.

Myrtle Beach Fires - My Video Account

We woke up in the morning with the smell of smoke inside our home.  We immediately closed the windows.   It became evident that we were now National News. 

 

I first noticed the fire as we exited my Grandmother's Funeral Home, right after her incineration started on Wednesday at around noon.   Five hours later when I came back to pick up her ashes, the fire had spread and it took on a life of its own.  The first video reflects that.

 

I left the house at 8am this morning, headed to Surfside/Garden City Beach, located about 40 minutes away via highway 31, which was now closed, thus doubling my driving time.  The second video shows the thick smoke on highway 17 in North Myrtle Beach.

 

Three of my daughter's friends have lost their homes in the fire.  Several shelters are still open; one of them in my gym - the North Myrtle Beach Aquatics and Fitness, the other at my daughter's church, the Barefoot Church on Main Street.  All North Myrtle Beach Schools were cut short: after about an hour of class, all students were dismissed.  They were actually having the PAC testing today, a huge deal for our schools, perhaps the only reason they've even attempted to have class today.  It's kind of hard to concentrate on a test when you know you no longer have a home...

 

The third, fourth and fifth clips were shot on my way back from Surfside/Garden City, around 3:30 in the afternoon. 

 

We were the only ones on the Beach tonight, as we were holding my Grandmother's Funeral.  By the time we finished our intimate and very touching Celebration of my Grandmother's Life, we realized the skies were now clear; the fires had been put out.  No more smoke, no more dark clouds. 

 

It all started with my Grandmother's incineration and ended with her remains being lovingly poured into the blue Atlantic.  The rest of the magic that transpired remains to be told in an upcoming blog.

The Other Side of Life...

The other side of Life is Death. We celebrate the first and fear the latter. Today I lost my Grandmother. My heart aches with pain. She was old; this is the natural order of things, or so I tell myself. I think about how lucky I've been to have had her in my life for so long. I think about how lucky I am to have my children healthy and well.

My ex-mother in law, a woman still close to my heart, told me one time: "I've lost my mother; I've lost my father, my brother, my husband, my best friend. I was able to cope with it all. The death of my son, now that, I've never been able to accept!"

I think of all the parents who've lost their children and I shudder: what an unbearable burden, a weight so heavy that every day it sinks the heart a little further.

I think of wives who've lost their loving husbands in the midst of their lives together. How sad to have to raise the children alone. How sad to yearn for that special someone day in and day out; to see him in the faces of your children and ache for him deep in your soul.

Today I lost my Grandmother, a woman so magnanimous and kind. If she was here she'd say: this is the way it's supposed to be. You age and you die and you leave behind those you love and hope they've learnt all the lessons you helped teach them.

When people lose loved ones I always give them Harold Kushner's book: "When Bad Things Happen To Good People". In honor of my Grandmother's passing, I have compiled a list of helpful books for those in mourning. Nothing can take away the pain, yet some comfort is derived from reading these:

When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Harold S. Kushner

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl

Necessary Losses by Judith Viorst

Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart by Gordon Livingston

If you know of any other great writings that deal with losing someone dear, please share them with the rest of us!
