Lancaster Real Estate Sales Announces New Location and Expansion

Lancaster Real Estate Sales has relocated its offices to the upper level of The Lancaster Building at 1032 William Hilton Parkway, Hilton Head Island, S.C.  According to Owners Randy Smith and Bill True,  the building was constructed in the mid- 1950s and is an Island landmark.  Changing the architectural integrity was not the preferred option, yet the company was growing and the upper level was an opportunity to take on the much-needed additional space to accommodate new agents.  Smith, Broker-in-Charge and a University of Tennessee business graduate stated, “We have renovated the entire upper level to better compliment the standards by which we do business.  The business landscape has evolved and the Hilton Head Island area has experienced many changes over the 30+ years we have been in real estate.  Our business model, though, has remained constant—it is based on integrity, service and growth, and Bill and I are continuing to build on our 55+ years of combined real estate sales excellence by welcoming agents with the highest caliber of professionalism in the industry.”

Lancaster Real Estate Sales, founded over 40 years ago, has played an integral role in Hilton Head Island Real Estate.  While the Company is comprised of a smaller, select group of agents, it continually ranks in the Top Ten, outpacing much larger companies.  True, a Texas State MBA, further stated that Lancaster Real Estate Sales is a “boutique” firm with its strongest sales in high-end markets, with the flexibility to perform well in all markets.  The Company has a strong core client foundation and works closely with each client on an individual basis from the initial showing through closing and follow-up.  In addition to Smith, who has been practicing on Hilton Head for over 30 years, and True for 25 years, Lancaster Real Estate Sales professional, experienced and licensed real estate agents include: Nancy Presley, Felice LaMarca, Nancy Love, David Love, Kathy Love, Josh Johnson and Christina Gonzalez.

Hilton Head is an amazing place with its beaches and tidal marshes, preserves and nature trails, beautiful architecture and gentle neighbors.  It is a place where over a million visitors enjoy a short escape each year and where a great many of those visitors fall in love with--and wish to either immediately move to or retire to--someday.  Are you one of those "someday" people or are you a "today" person--someone who shapes your dreams today and embarks on a vision to make it happen now?

As the new year gracefully sets into motion, with it comes purposeful and oft-needed resolutions--a time to start anew.  Before I start anew, however, I shred the old. I rummage through the seemingly endless boxes of papers and folders to make room for...more papers and folders.  My shredder hums as it is gently fed.  There is something soothing in the mincing and grating sound of years gone by.  Then, I systematically arrange new folders which will clutch my confidentials, document my purchaes and stipulate terms of contracts.  In other words, I prepare to conduct business in this new year as I have done each and every year prior.  Not business "as usual" but business in the "new normal".

This multifaceted industry has endured a barrage of negative scrutiny over the past 12 months that has cast it in a very detrimental light; however, it is sustaining itself quite well, despite the extreme exposure.  To be sure, investment real estate is not the dirty term that the mainstream media has made it out to be.  Many Hilton Head real estate investors typically finance only a small portion of the purchase price and, as a result, we have not experienced the high incidence of defaults and/or reposessions resulting in price collapse as has been so common elsewhere.

The renovation work at the Coligny Beach Park has been completed and it is great! The entrance has an interactive water fountain with 26 water jets that kids and adults both enjoying playing in. There have been some restroom and changing facilities added. On the elevated platforms you can just sit and enjoy the view of the ocean from rocking adirondack chairs, swings, or benches.
