Don't Forget To Request A Quick Status Report On Any Homes Or Properties That Interest You!

It can take days, weeks, or longer for changes to appear on web sites. Don't waste your time with less than current information. Request my free Status Report and find out if the homes you are interested in are still on the market, under contract, in escrow, or if the price has been reduced.

The Status Report that you'll receive by email will also include other important information that has been left out or that is available to me through my professional resources, such as how long the property has been on the market, when it was last sold, what it sold for, and more.

When you click on any link above, you'll see your chosen site, along with a form at the bottom of your screen. Use this form to request my quick Status Report on any homes or other real estate that interests you. It's free and without obligation.

Remember: As a top Pawleys Island, Litchfield and Georgetown area real estate agent, it's my job to know more about a property than any web site. Make sure you have the most current information!

Titles >Ways to Hold Title

When two or more people purchase property together, there are three ways that the title can be held. Knowing the implications of each form of ownership will help you decide how to write your deed.

"Tenancy by the entireties" is reserved exclusively for married people. Both husband and wife own an undivided interest in the property. On the death of one party, the surviving spouse owns the entire property and no probate will be necessary. When unmarried persons buy a home together, they should seek legal advice regarding how title should be held. As "tenants in common" each party owns a percentage interest in the property. On the death of one party his or her interest does not go to the surviving owner but is distributed in accordance with the will of the deceased, whose estate must be probated. As "joint tenants" each party owns an undivided, equal interest that passes automatically to the surviving joint tenant. Probate is not necessary if the deed reads "joint tenants with rights of survivorship".

It is important to know that in most courts, if a deed is written without specification of how title is held, the property is titled as "tenants in common."

My entire real estate career is based on one word, INTEGRITY. After that, I use my in-depth knowledge of the area to introduce and show my clients all the properties available that meet their criteria. Once this property is found and due diligence has started, it is my job to guide and advise the client through the maze of challenges to a successful and knowledgeable acquisition of that very special property whether it is a home, condo, lot, or acreage. Each client is different and each acquisition is different and the joy of my job is meshing the two.
