What Schools are the Best Schools?
I get asked a lot by clients who are relocating what the best areas are, what the best schools are, etc. While I always want to help my clients find the best fit for them, there are some ethical considerations. For starters, I am not allowed to direct people towards or away from any area [...]
Prosciutto Wrapped Shrimp
This really is one of my favorites. It is a great hot appetizer! The idea of bacon wrapped shrimp is always great, but the bacon never seems to get crisp, or, if it does, the shrimp are way overcooked. This is the perfect solution!
Cruising Around Charleston Harbor
We went sailing on the Schooner Pride this weekend for a friend’s birthday. It was a lot of fun. It was a beautiful day, but a little chilly, especially on the water. We met at the Aquarium Wharf at 4:45, and then cruised around Charleston Harbor for the sunset.
If you’ve never done a Harbor Cruise, [...]
Midtown of Charleston Update
We’ve sold another property down at Midtown, and are very close to ratifying another contract. The one we ratified was for the model (7 Brewster). So, today we moved our model next door to 5 Brewster Ct. It’s a different floor plan than the previous model, and it is fun to see this one furnished. [...]
Seafood Puffs
This is one of the first meals I learned to make, when I was about 10 years old. It’s extremely easy and will impress dinner guests.

Regime Fees in Condos and Townhomes

In a single family home, it’s easy, you [...]

A Little Comfort in Uncertain Times
Well, the economy sure has been pretty interesting lately. The below letter was emailed to me my Katie Mahoney, of Carolina One Mortgage. Carolina One Mortgage is a division of Guaranty Bank, and the letter was written by the Treasurer of the bank. It is comforting, if not uplifting, in a time of uncertainty. As [...]
Stuffed Oysters
At the suggestion of my website developer, which was no doubt spurred by my under abundance of blog posts last week, I am going to start to post local recipes on a somewhat regular basis. I think this was an effort to get me to post even when I don’t really want to. (ie. Mondays)Stuffed [...]
