Downtown Conway ten years ago was a quieter place. There were still restaurants, still shops, and still the historic character that has always defined this section of town — but the buyer inquiries and out-of-town visitors were a fraction of what they are now. Something has shifted. Downtown Conway has …

If you're shopping for a golf home on the north end of the Grand Strand, Little River should be on your short list. You get real courses, real community, and prices that don't match what you'll pay closer to the ocean. Here's what I mean. A single-family home on a …

If you're shopping rural homes in Horry County — Aynor, Loris, Galivants Ferry, the deeper pockets of Longs, or the back roads off Highway 905 — most of what you tour will run on well water rather than city water. That's normal and works fine for the vast majority of …

Relocating with school-age children is a different kind of move than relocating solo or as a couple. The stakes are higher, the timing is tighter, and the specific decisions you make in the months before the move affect the kids' first year in ways that are hard to reverse later. …

When buyers tell me they want the Grand Strand lifestyle but not the tourist-town feel of Myrtle Beach itself, I know exactly where to start the conversation. The Horry County and Pee Dee region has a real collection of small towns within reasonable distance of the coast, and each has …

Galivants Ferry is the kind of place that surprises buyers who've never been out here. Most visitors to the Grand Strand never make it this far west, and the buyers who eventually land here almost always arrive after they've exhausted the more visible options and started looking specifically for something …
