Sunday Afternoon on Daniel Island


The weekend came and went! Whew! That was fast! I started my morning with a nice hour and a half run........I am a bit tired! It was nice and I always enjoy starting my day after a good run.
Yesterday was such a hectic day. It is so clear the buyers are back.
I met out of town clients (Wellesey, Mass) in the morning spending half the day with them. This was their second visit here. The wife had been here before and now the husband was taking it all in for the first time. They also brought their 7 year old daughter. It is always important to gage the mood as soon as you start. They were here not only to look at homes, but to enjoy their vacation and so the beach was on their mind. We started early and had our tour of the entire island because it's important to know all of Daniel Island when moving here. Initially this family intended on retiring here, but now they are wanting to get started here sooner. He is an attorney and she is in the health field and can work out of her home from anywhere. I am finding when people can move anywhere, a lot of the time, they choose here! Daniel Island! Like many new clients, they had done their research and had a list of homes they knew they wanted to see. They were able to find the homes they wanted to see through our www.danielisland.com website. (IF YOU USE THIS WEBSITE, PLEASE LET THEM KNOW YOU FOUND THIS WEBSITE THROUGH RENEE'S BLOG) So we looked at homes and we narrowed the favorites to 3 homes and now they need to digest what they have seen.
Next it's off to the Isle of Palms Beach for sun and fun! I will keep you posted on these clients.
My next clients for Saturday afternoon were 2 local doctors looking for a home in Daniel Island Park. They currently live on James Island and would love to have a home convenient to downtown and a place for their dogs. Daniel Island is very pet friendly with their nature trails and the future "doggy park" coming to the island. We looked at several homes and now these clients may even consider building. They found 1 home in particular that they like, but they want to talk to a few builders to consider and compare the cost of buying versus building.
Finally, my last client for the day was a homeowner viewing homes I had previously shown his wife. It is common for families that live on Daniel Island to want to stay on Daniel Island. Sometimes they will downsize or increase the size of their home depending on their current needs.
So that was a busy Saturday and I have today, Sunday to fill you in on all of that.
Till Tomorrow.....thanks for reading my blog!
