Two comps can cost you more than a bad inspection.⁠
⁠
When a luxury home has no true comparable sale, the appraisal can fall short by $400,000. Understand your appraisal story before you ever need to tell it.⁠
⁠
The rarer the property, the more the comps matter.⁠

Writing an offer in Charleston? Before you waive anything, know what you’re giving up.⁠
⁠
Contingencies protect you on the home inspection, your financing, and the appraisal. Waiving them can make your offer more competitive, but it also means taking on that risk yourself.⁠
⁠
Save this one for the week you write your offer. 🔖⁠

Summerville’s Future Land Use Map won’t rezone a single property. It will shape which rezonings make sense for the next 20 years.⁠
⁠
If the map calls your corridor mixed use, a future rezoning gets easier. If it doesn’t, it gets harder.⁠
⁠
Own property near a Summerville growth corridor? Read the map, not the headline.⁠

One of my favorite master-planned neighborhoods in Mount Pleasant…I’On.

Developed in the 1990s by Vince Graham and designed with the influence of renowned urban planner Andrés Duany, I’On draws inspiration from historic Charleston, Savannah, and Beaufort.

The architecture, narrow streets, massive live oaks, front porches, and walkability all feel intentional.

The idea was simple…build a neighborhood around people, not cars.

Nearly 30 years later, I’d say they got it right.

It was good to ketchup with the McManus crew. 🍅😂

Uncles, family, and a whole lot of questionable stories around the table. Always a good time.
