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 person walking down the street is scurrying away from the home rather quickly just in ...

In our continuing effort to cover Charleston real estate photography from not just bad but utterly horrible pictures in the Charleston MLS to professional photography, virtual tours, video and other ways of presenting homes for sale to Charleston home buyers (and Charleston real estate agents looking for homes for their clients), let's talk a ...

I noticed a home listed for sale that met my buyers search criteria and it very well might be a very nice home.

And ...

Continuing the spring theme that I've been on for a few days, I have been walking around Historic Downtown Charleston and driving around the suburbs taking photos for the website. Spring is blooming all over the Charleston area and while we were able to wear shorts and flip flops in late January this year, mid March usually sees the ...

... is probably the most frustrating thing that Charleston real estate home buyers have to deal with when searching for homes for sale.
