I've been talking to real estate investors in this market for over three decades, and the Myrtle Beach pitch hasn't softened — it's actually gotten stronger. The investors who walked into my office five years ago were mostly local. The investors walking in today are coming from New York, Toronto, …

Myrtle Beach has a reputation as a tourist town, and that's part of why a lot of relocating families assume it can't work as a place to actually raise kids. After three decades of selling here, I can tell you the reality is more nuanced. The right pockets of Myrtle …

Five years ago, buyers asked me about acreage maybe one out of every twenty conversations. Today it's closer to one out of five. Something has changed about what people want from real estate, and the demand for land in Horry County keeps climbing. I've sold farmland, timber land, residential acreage, …

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 anti-Florida. They've …

The relocation calls I take now don't sound the way they used to. Five or six years ago I'd hear from retirees a decade out from their last working year, calling because a friend bought in Myrtle Beach and they wanted to see what was available. Today I'm talking to …

I've been writing offers in Horry County for more than thirty years, and the question that keeps coming up over and over is the same one: how much does this flood zone actually hurt the value? It's a fair question, because the answer changes a lot depending on the street, …

This is one of the most common decisions buyers face when they shop Horry County, and the right answer isn't the same for everyone. New construction has been the headline story along Highway 905, Highway 544, and the Carolina Forest corridor for years now. At the same time, resale homes …

The Waccamaw River runs right through the back of our market, and the stretch that bends past downtown Conway is the part that surprises out-of-town buyers most. People drive down expecting saltwater. They roll into Conway thinking it's just another feeder town for Myrtle Beach. What they actually find is …
