  • Mortgage questions answered
    I am receiving calls and e-mails from clients and regular readers of this column asking about my recommended course of action in these volatile economic times. Here are some of the recent questions and my responses:
  • Eclectic décor adds element of surprise to room
    'I know this house is Victorian, but how would you describe your décor?," a recent acquaintance asked me on her first visit to my house. I could tell she was very surprised by the interior of my home. The eclectic mix of modern upholstery pieces, antique casegoods, traditional rugs, contemporary art and vintage prints housed inside a framework of Victorian moldings, ceiling medallions and fireplace surrounds was not at all what she expected to find inside. "It is beautiful, but in a totally unexpected way."
  • Palmetto Dunes: Upscale improvements
    Travel + Leisure Family magazine recently ranked Palmetto Dunes on Hilton Head Island as the top family resort in the United States and Canada.
  • Options for those considering foreclosure
    Drivers leaving Hilton Head Island pass a billboard that says: "Foreclosure Affects the Entire Family." While foreclosure rates on Hilton Head and in Bluffton aren't nearly as bad as in Florida, California and other areas of the country, the economic downturn has impacted people from every socio-economic sector in the Lowcountry—from school teachers to corporate executives, longtime locals and second-home and lotowners. "At one time, we could generalize a typical client," said Debbie Kidd, housing director for the Homeownership Resource Center, a division of Family Services, Inc., in Charleston. "Now the clients come in from all walks of life, from the single parent low-income household, to two income, six-figure salary folks with homes on the ocean."
