Vapor Barrier 101
A vapor barrier is, quite simply, a rolled out piece of plastic placed and staked under a home. In the very humid and hot Lowcountry, we often have termite inspections, or CL-100’s, come back indicating the need for a vapor barrier in a crawl space. We have a lot of brick ranch homes [...]
Pre-Listing CL-100 Inspection
I recently did a pre-listing CL-100 which turned out to be very helpful. In the Lowcountry, we have lots of older homes on crawlspaces that are pretty tight. Often, HVAC ductwork is run in these crawlspaces. Over time, the ductwork can develop small leaks and cold air gets out, mixing with the [...]
Advice for an “Occupy Prior to Closing Agreement”
Ah, the Occupy Prior to Closing Agreement. What a delight.

Everything is about price at this point. My client, who owns the condo, was prepared to price it to sell quickly, [...]
Happenings in the Charleston Real Estate Market

Listing Appointment in Hanahan, SC
I had a listing appointment in Hanahan today. The house was cute, and had had a lot of renovations done. The problem is, the homeowner only purchased a year ago, and I don’t think we can make the numbers work. Those of you who know me know that I won’t tell you we can get [...]

I have a friend who is an Interior Designer, who we met down at Midtown today. She and her business partner are taking a look at one of our smaller units. It is an excellent space, and the least expensive property we currently have available. The address is 189 A St. Philip.
It is also our [...]
