No HOA? Would you live next to a pink house with purple polka dots, two-foot grass, and a car parked in the front yard?

I get it. Nobody wants to be told what they can or can't do with their own property. But before you buy in a community with no HOA, drive through it and take a good look. With no HOA, as long as it doesn't break a local code, neighbors can pretty much do what they want. That can be good, and it can be bad.

An HOA brings rules. The key is finding one whose rules and restrictions match what you're willing to live with. Read the covenants and restrictions before you make an offer, not after.

And keep resale in mind. If the house next door has overgrown grass and three cars in the yard when you go to sell, that can mean a harder sale and lower offers.

Weighing both sides for your next move? DM me or call or text (843) 385-6630. Happy to walk through the pluses and minuses with you.

Congratulations, Brian and Theresa!

You two trusted me to buy your first home. Then you trusted me to sell it. And now you've trusted me to help you find and purchase your dream home! I don't take that lightly, and I truly appreciate you both.

Watching you get the keys to your new home in Shaftesbury Glen was a great day. I hope it's everything you've been hoping for.

Welcome home.

Don't list it yet. Not until the house is ready.

In a 2022 Clever Real Estate survey of 1,000 recent sellers, 25% said they should have made repairs before listing, the most common regret in the study. Rushing to market, skipping staging, and leaving the small fixes undone can cost you when it's time to negotiate.

Selling can be emotional. The process still needs a plan.

I give my own clients a free home prep roadmap. DM me and I'll send it to you today, or call or text (843) 385-6630.

When you buy a home with a mortgage, there are two title insurance policies, and only one of them protects you.

The lender's policy protects your lender and is usually required. The owner's policy protects you, and it's optional. On one filed South Carolina rate schedule, an owner's policy on $400,000 of coverage works out to about $960 (premium only).

Buying? Here's what title insurance covers, what it can cost in South Carolina, and what to ask your closing attorney:

The September 2026 Market Report is here, featuring August 2026 numbers for the Grand Strand alongside the latest national data.

Prices moved together. The Grand Strand median sale price was $324,945, up 1.6% from August 2025, and NAR's national median was $429,100, also up 1.6%. Sales did not. Grand Strand closed sales fell 5.4% from a year ago, compared with 1.2% nationally.

A few more things sellers should know. Sold homes here spent a median 95 days on market, down from 102 in July, and sellers received a median 97.9% of their last list price. Single family homes had 4.0 months of supply, while townhouses and condos had 7.5, so the right pricing strategy depends a lot on your property type.

Mortgage rates moved up after August closed. The Mortgage News Daily 30 year fixed average was 6.87% on August 31 and 7.17% on September 14. That shows up in what buyers can afford.

I broke down both reports in full, with every source listed:

Thinking about a property on the coast that earns while you are not in it?

Short term rentals along the Grand Strand are not one single play. An oceanfront condo, a golf course villa, and a single family home a few blocks off the sand all behave differently as rentals. The rules that govern them change from one town to the next, too. Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, and Surfside Beach each set their own, and individual HOAs add another layer on top.

That is usually where investors get tripped up, and it is the part we spend the most time on. We have helped plenty of buyers work through it, from a first rental purchase to adding the next property to a portfolio.

If the Grand Strand is on your list as an investment, let's talk about your options. Call or text (843) 385-6630.

Congratulations, Sandy.

Thank you for trusting me to help you find another oceanfront condo in Myrtle Beach. This one is a top floor two bedroom, two bath on the Golden Mile, in a low density building with only fifteen units, an oceanfront pool and private beach access. It closed at $234,000.

Sandy's portfolio keeps growing. She looks at a beach condo the same way I have looked at property across twenty plus years of buying my own. What does it bring in, what does it cost to hold, and what is it worth when she is ready to be done with it. Short term and long term rentals are both permitted here, which is a big part of why the numbers worked.

Not every oceanfront unit pencils out. The ones that do usually come down to the building, the rental rules and the carrying costs, and those are worth going through carefully before you write an offer.

If you are considering adding a rental property on the Grand Strand, give me a call and we can look at it together.
