[Southern Living] Carolina's Best Burgers

Because man can't live on pizza alone (darn), Charleston snagged 3 spots in Southern Living's May Edition for Carolina's Best Burgers. Of course my absolute favorite, Poe's Tavern in Sullivan's Island was included along with The Macintosh

Tax day extended to today April 17 or do you want another 6 month extension

There's good news for the procrastinators among us. Income taxes aren't due as usual on April 15th this year, they are due today, April 17th. Since April 15th fell on a Sunday, the Internal Revenue Service extended the deadline by a day. But Monday

If you win the Mega Millions lottery, would you buy a home in Charleston

Like many others across the country, I have my mega millions tickets and am fantasizing about what I'd do if I won the largest lottery in history. And on my short list of things to buy would be a home in Charleston, specifically in the historic district

[TILT] More bad pics from the Charleston MLS

Happy Saturday. It's always fun to share really bad pictures that pop up in the Charleston MLS from time to time. Tilt! Does this home have structural issues or is the photo just taken on a sharp angle. Notice the bottom left of the photo where the

Eleven

A look back, a look ahead. For fans of numbers, 2011 was a terrific year starting on January 1 only to be outdone on November 11th. 2012 will have some good dates too. The Charleston real estate market performed very well during 2011. Home sales were

Are there too many surveys for you to answer

I think there are and I'll bet you think so too. In just one day last week, I went from Lowes to Belk to 5 Guys and had Time Warner, our illustrious cable operator out for service and all 4 requested a survey to make sure that I was happy with their

What could be even better than a good agent review

With all the talk about agent reviews these days, even better than a good review or a testimonial might be a very happy client who thanks you with dinner at one of Charleston's finest restaurants. It's pretty traditional for a real estate agent

Black Friday and Charleston real estate

Will there be any Black Friday deals in Charleston real estate? This year seems to be about the most over hyped Black Friday that I can recall but if there are any Black Friday deals in the Charleston real estate market this year, at least you won't

Slow, holidays ahead

Has anybody else noticed how rushed everything is around the holidays as if the stores are going to run out of stuff whether it's food, clothing or whatever and how the parking lots have turned into a NASCAR race for the best parking space. But what

[11.11.11] If you like numbers, today's date is just perfect

Numbers can be magical and today's date is just perfect. There is probably nothing purer than 11.11.11. Next year we'll have our last chance at a magical date on December 12th and after that, it won't be until the next century (doesn't

Should we move all holidays to have 3 day weekends

I just heard where a state representative somewhere was going to introduce a bill to have Halloween celebrated on a Saturday every year and it got me thinking (which is a dangerous thing). Now don't get me wrong because I'm in favor of having

Will the Kindle spell the end of the bookcase

I enjoy reading and thus far, I have resisted the growing temptation of buying a Kindle. There's a certain enjoyment of sitting in my favorite chair and reading a good book. If it's a hardcover, I'll use the dust cover to mark my page, if

On this first day of fall, more than leaves are falling

Sometime later this afternoon, a NASA satellite the size of a school bus will break into pieces on reentry and is expected to fall to earth and while it isn't expected to hurt anyone, right now NASA isn't exactly sure where it might land. According

Flipping NUTS!!

Charleston real estate tales from the barbershop (well, actually the hair salon as told to me by my hair stylist). Because my hair stylist is a former real estate agent (who isn't), we talk about real estate when I get my hair cut. And she is in the
