Choosing a Realtor on Hilton Head Island
Posted by Bill True on
You’ve waited long enough. The market is stable, mortgage rates are low, the long, hard winter is over (you’ll never do that again) and you’re ready to purchase a property on Hilton Head where it’s always inviting and pleasant, whether you’re at the beach, on the course, at the garden, strolling alongside nature in the forest preserves or sipping Southern sweet tea on your back porch. You know the island, you’ve decided on a community and a price point—or maybe you aren’t quite as familiar with it as you feel you need to be and want more information on neighborhoods, pricing, etc. Either way, you know it’s where you want to be.

Owning a beach house or vacation villa on Hilton Head Island has always been in fashion and good taste, regardless of the trends of the time.

Paradise found! A beautiful home on Hilton Head Island with secret gardens filled with Confederate Jasmine just steps from a sun-soaked, white-sand beach. A magical scenario, to be sure. Some would call it bewitching, yet it exists for the asking. Wooden rope swings in the back yard, pine-planked wraparound porches, open-air dining, four-season outdoor havens with tabby fireplaces and oversized chef’s grills, pool torches glowing in the dusk. These are reflections of a coastal lifestyle.
To be sure, spring is a wonderful time to be on the Island. Every year, the reawakening is a welcome respite from the long winter’s wrath (though our winters are typically quite tolerable with very few unseasonable temps).

When you think of Hilton Head, you probably think of miles of white sandy beaches. No? Well, maybe world-class golf and the PGA Heritage Tournament every Spring. How about championship tennis, yachting, deep-sea fishing, nature trails, luxury resorts, beautiful homes and dreamy villas, nearly 150 restaurants, parasailing, Harbour Town, South Beach, amazing sunrises and sunsets, majestic live oaks, eco tours or dolphin-watching? Oh, I know what you’re thinking! Cycling!
