...So you don't think you need a home inspection. I hear this all
the time. Most guys will tell me that... "I am a handy man...I will save
the money and inspect it myself." I always tell my clients to get a
licensed home inspector. These professionals have been trained to
inspect and look for problems that a lay person may miss. Pay the
money-and get a little of piece of mind. After all-your home is
usually your largest investment.
I have some real life photos taken from home inspections. No
joke-these photos are the real deal. You would not believe some stuff
that we see in homes. Enjoy the photos:
Can we say Arch Angel?
Is this what they call a left handed P Trap?
How do you Fix a leaky Faucet??...You add another?
...who really needs Breakers??
Concrete Sand Bags with a drain....
Loop de Loop P Trap...
Really...who took the time to drill all these holes in the Gutter
...Say What??
Do they not make shorter Nails???
Let's all do the twist...
What happens when you mix electricity with a dumber than dumber?
But the it leaks...
A bet you don't have one of these
"Funny as a Crutch Richie"
...but at least it is leveled
Is this Direct TV or Dish..or the Poop Vent TV
ET phone Home...
...Pop up Toaster?
On a Serious note, there are a lot of so called handymen that
want to say a buck or two fixing their home. But some of these fixes
can be dangerous. Last time, Get a Home Inspection!

McKinley Washington Bridge, Edisto SC
....So you have made it to the Big Bridge...only just a few miles to go to get to Edisto.
That's what our parents would say when we were children... The ride to
the Beach seemed like an all day ride. But we knew, once we got to the
Big Bridge that we were almost to Edisto. Back then the
Bridge was called the Dawhoo Bridge. It was a swing bridge that was
built in 1954. It was electrically controlled by a bridge tender. Its
operator worked in twelve hour shifts and his tiny office was located
in the middle of the span. We often would joke that the only time you
would see a traffic jam on Edisto was when the bridge would get stuck
in the open position- which happened often.

Dawhoo Bridge

The Bridge Tender's Office

Dual Lane Dahwoo Bridge
The first bridge was built around the 1920 was a single lane. It
too was a swing bridge. This bridge was manually operated by a giant
crank. However, the operator lived in a caretaker's house on the
shore. When a large boat or ship wanted to pass, they would blow their
horn and the operator would come out and climb up on the bridge and
turn the crank by hand to slide the bridge open.

Circa 1920s Dawhoo Bridge

The Big Bridge
Today we have a dual lane span bridge. With a cost of $54.9 million
dollars and a span of 5,584 feet is a modern marvel. It was built and
dedicated around 1993. It was named after Congressman Mckinley Washingtion, Jr.
I know that you are about ready for some warmer weather and a good dose of Edisto...so I took a few photos of the Big Bridge and some cool views...just so you know that you are almost there...

...Just us birds hanging out on the Bridge..

The Beautiful Dahwoo River

Its a bird's Life

Remanants of the Dahwoo Bridge-now a fishing pier

Wind swept Marshes under the Bridge
So the next time you get to the Big Bridge...know you are almost to Edisto.

...it was a wet and soggy day on Edisto. But as always, nature always
reveals a Wow! I was so dreading putting out For Sale signs in the
rain today. I was heading to this marshside property on Turtle Point Lane
that I just recently listed off of Jenkins Hill road. The road was
muddy and it still was misting rain...when all of a sudden I saw about 30
Turkeys grazing in the field. I stopped and clicked a few shots. They
didn't seem to mind me and I stayed a while and gazed in amazement.
They turned a gloomy day into to a memory. That's Edisto...never leave home without a camera...you never know what's around the next corner.

Here is the Update on the POS Tax:
| Point of Sale Update |
| |
Last week, the Senate took up, debated and voted on the compromise amendment to H.3272, point of sale assessment reform. The Compromise did the following:
- Eliminates point of sale assessment for 6% properties transacted in 2010;
- Caps point of sale increases at 80% on 6% property in years thereafter;
- Clarifies ATI triggers (corporate, lineal, easements, etc.);
- Clarifies the definition for rollback millage calculation and includes millage lookback recapture provision;
- Creates a study committee on the index of tax paying ability;
- Clarifies that the issuance of a permit does not constitute an ATI per se;
- If a property sells for less than the assessed value on the books,
the burden of proof is on the assessor to prove the higher value; and
- Includes disclosure language on estimated property taxes.
The Senate gave the bill second reading after nearly 7 hours of
debate on the evening of February 9th. On Wednesday, the Senate took a
roll call vote on third reading to the compromise amendment. The vote
failed did not receive the necessary 2/3 of the Senate and failed by a
vote of 28 to 13 on nearly partisan lines. We were three votes shy of
the necessary 31 votes. The following day, the Senate voted by
unanimous consent to recommit H.3272 to Senate Finance Committee but to allow it to retain its place on the Senate Third Reading Contested Calendar.
Again, a special thank you is due to Senators Alexander, Hayes,
Davis, McConnell Thomas, and Larry Martin. They did an excellent job of
explaining the issue, leading the debate, and supporting our lobbying
efforts inside of the Senate Chamber. |
| How Your Senator Voted on POS |
| |
| Below is a list of the roll call vote to give
H.3272 third reading. Largely the vote was down party lines, however,
it should be noted that Senators Elliott, Reese, and Setzler broke
ranks and voted to support the amendment. Here is how the vote broke
down:
YES
Alexander, Bright, Bryant, Campbell, Campsen, Cleary, Courson, Cromer,
Davis, Elliott, Fair, Hayes, Leatherman, L. Martin, S. Martin, Massey,
McConnell, Mulvaney, O'Dell, Peeler, Rankin, Reese, Rose, Ryberg,
Setzler, Shoopman, Thomas, Verdin
NO
Anderson, Grooms, Hutto, Land, Leventis, Malloy, Matthews, McGill, Nicholson, Pinckney, Scott, Sheheen, Williams
NOT VOTING
Coleman, Ford, Jackson, Knotts and Lourie (Lourie had official leave from the Senate Wednesday)
Your grassroots work is incredibly important to getting H.3272 back out of the Finance Committee. Please take a minute to CALL YOUR SENATOR.
If your Senator voted yes, your message is:
- THANK YOU for your support, leadership and patience;
- Addressing point of sale is far too important to SC's economy to let die;
- Please do not give up on this effort; and
- Please help us move this bill forward.
If your Senator voted no, your message is:
- Addressing point of sale is far too important to SC's economy to let die;
- All parties had agreed to the compromise that was on the table;
- SC Realtors will not relent on this issue;
- Please reconsider your position; and
-
Help us move this bill forward.

Congratulations to Susan Spell and all of her staff...the State Park
is truly one of Edisto's Treasure. Here is a press release written by
Savdailynews.com

Edisto Beach State Park

Edisto Beach, SC
Edisto Beach Real Estate
Edisto Beach State Park Staff Receives Service's Top Award
The staff at Edisto Beach State Park has been awarded a top honor from the South Carolina State Park Service.
Manager Susan Spell and her staff were presented the Director's Award
at the Park Service's recent annual managers' conference at Hickory
Knob State Resort Park.
The award is not presented each year.
"We present this award when it's time to recognize employees who have
particularly distinguished themselves in the way they exemplify the
values of stewardship and service that have been the guiding principles
of South Carolina's state park system since it was established more
than 75 years ago," said Phil Gaines, director of the State Park
Service.
"Manager Spell and her staff at Edisto Beach State Park
personify those principles each and every day, adding up to exceptional
effort and contributions to the preservation and presentation of this
outstanding park and all it has to offer to South Carolinians and
visitors from near and far," Gaines said. "This is a complex, diverse
park. Managing it so well is not an easy job."
Spell also was
recognized for her 20 years of service to the state. At Edisto Beach,
she leads a staff of 13 people who manage 1,200 acres of beach, marsh
and maritime forest. The park was originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression and also offers cabins, camping, a nature center and Edisto Interpretive Center,
the state's longest handicapped-accessible hiking trail and a shell
mound believed to have been built by Native Americans as long as 4,000
years ago.
In addition to the demands of their daily duties,
Park Service leaders cited the park staff for such accomplishments as
successfully handling a flooded campground last fall and managing the
renovation of the historic CCC-built cabins without interrupting
customer service. The park also is responsible for the protection of
endangered sea turtles and other wildlife on its miles of beach, creek
and forest.
"Edisto Beach State Park attracts hundreds of
thousands of visitors a year and, thanks to the efforts of Manager
Spell and her team, manages to make sure that each of them can have as
positive experience as possible at one of the state's most outstanding
public assets," Gaines said.

Finally the Lowcountry gets a decent snow. Most areas west of the
Hwy 17 received 5 to 6 inches plus and East of Hwy 17 received a light
dusting. Yes it's a big deal for us. It seems like we only get a
"Real" snow about once every 20 years. The last major snow for the
Lowcountry was way back in 1989. That's the same year that Hurricane
Hugo blew threw our coast and it was our first Christmas snow in a
hundred years. In 1973, we still refer that one to the Big Snow. It
closed down the Lowcountry for about two weeks. I am not sure how much
snow that we received but it was up to my knees(I was 8). It was a
Winter Wonderland.
Edisto Beach got a lite dusting of snow. Here is the picture:

We had a great time in the Snow. It has been a cold winter this year. If
the cold trend continues will have to call Al Gore and tell him that
his theory on Global warming is slightly flawed. I will keep you
updated on the next big snow....it will probably be around the year
2030. Until then....

Cal Griffin Earns NAR Short Sales and Foreclosure Certification
Buyers and Sellers Benefit from REALTOR® Expertise in Distressed Sales
Edisto Beach, SC - Cal Griffin with The Edisto Beach Company has earned the nationally recognized Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource certification. The National Association of REALTORS® offers the SFR certification to REALTORS®
who want to help both buyers and sellers navigate these complicated
transactions, as demand for professional expertise with distressed
sales grows.
According to a recent NAR survey, nearly one-third of all existing
homes sold recently were either short sales or foreclosures. For many
real estate professionals, short sales and foreclosures are the new
"traditional" transaction. REALTORS®
who have earned the SFR certification know how to help sellers maneuver
the complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short
sale and foreclosure opportunities.
"As leading advocates for homeownership, REALTORS®
believe that any family that loses its home to foreclosure is one
family too many, but unfortunately, there are situations in which
people just cannot afford to keep their homes, and a foreclosure or a
short sale results," said 2009 NAR President Charles McMillan, a broker
with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Dallas-Fort Worth.
"Foreclosures and short sales can offer opportunities for home buyers
and benefit the larger community, as well, but it's extremely important
to have the help of a real estate professional like a REALTOR® who has earned the SFR certification for these kinds of purchases."
The certification program includes training on how to qualify
sellers for short sales, negotiate with lenders, protect buyers, and
limit risk, and provides resources to help REALTORS® stay
current on national and state-specific information as the market for
these distressed properties evolves. To earn the SFR certification,
REALTORSÒ are required to take one core course and three Webinars. For more information about the SFR certification, visit www.REALTORSFR.org or call 1-877-510-7855.

Edisto Beach Real Estate
Edisto Beach, SC

Has the Economy Got you Down??
The Worst Possible thing you can do is Walk Away...
Yes we are in tough times...and yes most of our beach real estate is
under water...the job market is even tougher...our income is way down...it
feels like we have hit the Wall. And maybe some of us have. But the
Worst thing that you can do is Walk Away from your home or your
property on Edisto Beach.
You hear reports daily on the TV and in the paper, of normal every
day folks like yourself faced with a similar situation. You know...the
bills keep piling up, collectors calling, downright harassing letters
come in your mailbox and the burden drags on day after day. You say to
yourself, "If I could just leave all of this behind me and start
over-things would get Better. I will just pack up and leave and start
a new." "The bank can handle another foreclosure".
I am telling you don't do it! I promise you that if you just abandon your property things are going to get worse than they are. Much worse!
The buzzards(Bill Collectors) will really start circling. You will
find yourself slapped with judgments and/or liens, they will garnish
your wages, they will take your children and sell them at auction (just
kidding), your life will become a living hell. Your credit will be
destroyed for the next 7 to 10 years. Have you ever tried to live in
America without some sort of Credit? You need credit to get a cell
phone, you need credit to get car insurance and even hospitals are
checking your credit before they will admit you. Where do you go in
today's world without someone pulling your credit?
So what do you do from here? There is hope. There is a way
to get out of this mess that you are in. Walking Away is not an
option. But you do have several options that will not leave your life
in a total shipwreck and will not totally destroy your credit score.
Did you know that most banks are horrible at personal contact. The
first time that you miss a payment-you will get a stern letter from the
bank reminding you to make a payment. The next time, you will get an
even stronger letter and from then on you will get a monthly letter
stating that you are late. After a while of letters you will get a
foreclosure letter and then it will be over soon after and you will be
asked to move out(by the Sheriff).
During the process, your favorite banker(the
one who persuaded you take the Loan) will probably not call and ask if
there is something they can do to help you. They are not going to call
and offer a hand or a care. At this point, they just want their money
or you out of their house. But I am here to tell you there is hope-there is a solution to your problem. Here are a few of the options:
- 1. Refinance-lower your by payment by getting a lower interest rate or longer payback period(15 to 30 years)
- 2. Sell and Bring Cash to Closing-cashing in your IRA or selling Treasury Bonds
- 3. Lender Workout-
Forbearance-lender may work with you on the payments until you get a job or another income.
Repayment Plan-sometimes the lender will work out a payment plan.
Loan Modification-reduce your payments by
Getting a lower interest rate or longer pay
Back.
- 4. Short Sale-sell for less than you owe on your
Mortgage.
- 5. Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure-this is where you
Agree to sign the property back over in exchange
Forgive the lender to forgive your debt.
- 6. Foreclosure-it is pretty obvious that this is the
The last resort but don't wait until it gets this far.
Call your lender immediately and discuss your options or call a lender who has been trained in
Distressed properties.
Please Don't Walk Away without talking to me or someone first. We
will be glad to walk you through the process and discuss your options.
I will be glad to do all of this for free. Yes, I mean it.
Absolutely, no charge to you- The last thing you need is another bill.
Please don't hesitate to Call. It will be my pleasure to serve you and
your family.
Edisto Beach-Now That's Heaven!
P.S.
I just received my certification for SFR(Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource)
Certification. I have just studied and learned about all the latest
programs and work-arounds and would be glad to share them with you.

S.C. Senate passes tax break for second homes & commercial real estate Associated Press Tuesday, February 9, 2010 COLUMBIA — People with second homes, rental or commercial property will get a tax break under legislation that won approval in the Senate in South Carolina. Tonight’s voice vote approved a compromise that softens the tax bill for property an owner doesn’t live in. Final approval on Wednesday sends the measure back to the House. Backers said the legislation was needed to invigorate the commercial property market. For an investment property owner, it means a home they paid $100,000 for and that sells for $200,000 will continue to be taxed at its original $100,000 value. In later years, that property gets a 20 percent discount on its property tax value. The measure would cost counties and schools $35 million this year. Edisto Beach-Now That’s Heaven!

Edisto Beach, SC
This Amazing Opportunity just came across my desk and I
thought I would share it with my friends. This is a once in a lifetime
opportunity for someone to own a very nice home on true deepwater- with
killer views. It is located down Peters Point road about 3 miles on
the right in a small subdivision called Spartina. This home was
originally listed for $999,000 about 2 years ago but sell should sell
for way less. As of today, the opening bid has not been established.
Unlike bank auctions, Uncle Sam can sell for whatever the market brings.
So How Did the Gov't get it on the Block? As word on the street has it-the previous owners were bilking the government
for millions of dollars by selling military parts. They had a scheme
by selling the parts for the market price but charging an outrageous
shipping charge. About 20 million dollars later, Uncle Sam gets smart
and indites the operators and seizes the property of the law breakers.
Luckily for the buyers, somebody is going to get a heck of a deal on a
waterfront house on Edisto Island. The auction is on February 18, 2010 in
Charleston. Auctions are a great way to pick up a deal but can
sometimes be tricky. The paperwork can sometimes be daunting. I will
be glad to answer any questions that you may have. Check out the
details below:
