First-time buyers shopping the Grand Strand walk in with the same questions every time, and most of the questions are the right ones. The trouble is the answers are different on the coast than they would be in an inland market. The homes are different. The insurance is different. The …

The Florida-to-Carolinas migration is a real pattern in our market, and it's been picking up for years. Every month I sit down with at least one buyer who looked at Florida first, did the math, and decided to point their search at the Grand Strand instead. They aren't …

Loris is the kind of place you only really understand once you've spent a weekend there. The town itself runs along Highway 9, sits about 25 minutes inland from North Myrtle Beach, and has held onto its small-town character better than most of the Grand Strand's outer ring …
