Activity Update! Renee's Daniel Island Blog


Good morning! I hope you are having a good weekend! With Thanksgiving only few days away, I thought I would update everyone on our recent contracts and sales.
When I returned from my recent trip to Nepal, I found several buyers ready to move!
18 Watroo will have a new family by Christmas time. A wonderful family from Pittsburgh, and actually very close to where I used to live 28 years ago! They are relocating here with a new business already in place! 4 young children ready to begin their new start on Daniel Island. They learned about Daniel Island by word of mouth. Several business partners mentioned Daniel Island and once we toured the island and they learned of the activities for the children, the schools, churches, grocery store..........they were sold! I am looking forward to helping them and watching them as they continue to love what Daniel Island has to offer!
Next, a second home buyer looking at 2 great homes in Daniel Island Park. It is still a buyers market and this particular buyer feels it's not going to get any better for the buyers. He has seen the market starting to pick up and he doesn't want to get left behind.
11 Watroo has a new family already! Recently visiting from out of town, they too fell in love with what Daniel Island had to offer. There still is no place like Daniel Island!
Recently a homeowner closed on his purchase of a home site in Smythe Park where he intends to build his dream home. He wanted to take advantage of the buyer's incentives that were happening. He is excited about building in a few years. He liked the idea of building later since he does not want to sell his home until the market starts to look better for sellers. This scenario works best for him.
We have had 7 contracts in October and 8 so far in November. I know a few contracts are in the works right now and not yet announced until they are ratified.
I am looking forward to Thanksgiving, but really looking forward to this nice increase in activity.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!

HIKING IN NEPAL!

A VACATION TO REMEMBER!

Everyone needs a vacation visiting a country where the people do not have the conveniences that we sometimes take for granted.
Traveling to India to see the Taj Mahal and then on to Kathmandu, Nepal for hiking in the Everest Region! It was a wonderful experience learning about the lifestyle and culture in Nepal.
Feeling welcome in this country as I learn about the Hindu religion and Buddhism beliefs. Being allowed to watch in sacred ceremonies and meeting Monks in the Monasteries and receiving blessings from the Head Lama and attending an annual Sherpa celebration where the Monks danced traditional dances with masks and colorful costumes to interpreting a story or belief.
Now I am back on Daniel Island, back to work, but with a different outlook on life in general. I hope to never take our pleasures for granted and to always be grateful for what we are given and for what we have.
