I attended hearitdirect, an amazing conference held in Charleston yesterday featuring panels of Charleston real estate consumers who provided insights into buying, selling and their use of technology to search Charleston homes for sale. Let's focus on what they had to say about how the search process. The most ...

Some say the blog is dead. But 5 years ago today I hit the publish button for the first time and at just a couple of posts short of 1600, today is the celebration of the 5 year blogiversary of the Charleston real estate blog.

And it's not going away since I just renewed for another year but I've wanted a WordPress site for some time now and Jeremy Blanton just designed my new ...

Yesterday, anyone searching for Charleston homes for sale on my websites encountered frustrating slow to load pages due to technical issues but the great team at IDX Broker got everything taken care of and everything is all better now.

The other day, I faced that dreaded black screen of death on my computer instead of a nice desktop. I called A Geek To Go! and Miles West returned my call immediately and he was actually at my desk within an hour and had the problem fixed soon afterward.
