WOW! What excitement in the air this week with the Family Circle Cup right here on the Island! We have had beautiful weather and what a turn out of fans! Along with this event brings more awareness of the unique qualities Daniel Island offers.

I wanted to spread the word as soon as possible about the positive movement in the sales market we are experiencing. Daniel Island has had a 31% increase in sales this quarter! That's exciting!

You can feel the energy and the positive vibes everywhere. It's still a buyers' market, but we are getting stronger each day as we continue to sell the inventory currently around us.

Our recent release of property includes waterfront home sites from the mid $700,000's to 1,300,000's. I have plats and maps in hand, so if you are interested in receiving more details be sure to send a request by email. My email address is renee.reinert@danielisland.com
I hope to hear from you soon!

Daniel Island Update

This week has been very busy! Clients from DC arrived to close on their new second home! They purchased a home near the club so they could walk to the club as well as the swimming pools, fitness center and tennis courts! A great couple who have been searching for a home on Daniel Island for quite a while. He is a developer and was a part of the team that developed Congressional Country Club as well as many other projects. His wife is a wonderful energetic sweet woman with designer talents and motivation to get things done quickly and efficiently. A researcher and finger on the pulse kind of person knowing if a "deal" came on the market we would have to move quickly and she did. This is the reason we were able to take advantage of the buyers market, move quickly and buy this perfect home for them at such a deal. Eventually their goal is to move here permanently. I think it will be sooner than they anticipate. They closed on their home the day before yesterday and were due to leave tomorrow, however they are having such a great time, they have decided to extend their stay and they have already arranged their return visit!

Last night we had a celebration at the club! Our new homeowners from DC met our other new homeowners from PA who moved in only a few days before Christmas with their 4 young children! We also had friends who have lived here for a while join us in welcoming our new neighbors and friends!

Both families claim that they are happy they made the choice to buy a home on Daniel Island and I have a feeling they will be saying that for a long long time to come!

Just a quick note: Both of these families just bought a home and both families are looking at home sites to buy now in this buyer's market and then build a home in the future!

That speaks loudly for Daniel Island

Have a wonderful week!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas as we head into a new year! There are many homeowners who are selling their home that are joining me in saying Thank Goodness this year is over! Here comes a New Year and it's looking brighter!
We still have short sales and heavy negotiating happening, but the inventory is going down and so this is good!
Looking forward to a Wonderful New Year!

Santa Visits Daniel Island

SANTA CLAUS

SANTA CLAUS VISITS DANIEL ISLAND! What a wonderful time everyone had with Santa today! The food was set up to make you feel you were in Candy Land! Lots of Gingerbread houses and candy canes and colorful cookies on a stick like lollipops! During lunch ballerina's entertained everyone with scenes from the Nutcracker! Then after lunch we were able to find Santa waiting for all the children in his comfy seat near the big warm fireplace! One by one the children sat on his lap to tell him their wishes........ What a fun filled afternoon for everyone!

The Holiday Season!

Saturday Morning!







It's a crisp cool clear day on Daniel Island! It's chili, but not to the point of having to wear a heavy winter coat like I did when I lived in Pittsburgh. I always appreciate the weather here!
This morning Santa Claus will visit us at the Daniel Island Club and I will be taking my 2 year old granddaughter to see Santa. We will have lunch and she will be telling Santa what she wants for Christmas! Pictures to follow soon!

Sunday Afternoon!









What a beautiful day here on Daniel Island! I have been very busy this week preparing for next week's closing. My clients from Pennsylvania will be moving here and starting their new life on the Island! They are so excited. When the mother of 3 young children arrives, I plan to give her a tour of the Island and then she will see her new home that her husband chose for the family for the first time! She was able to view the home via our website as well as individual pictures I sent her, but she definitely has faith in her husband! He did a great job and she is so excited to get here! Once she arrives I have also planned to take her to lunch with 2 other homeowners on the island that will be her new neighbors and they too have small children about the same age as my new friend's children. Before the new homeowners arrive, their parents will visit and stay on the Island at the Hampton Inn Suites. I have already offered to pick them up and give them a tour of the Island as well. Just think, they will have their first Christmas on Daniel Island after being here only a few days!
On another note, I have been asked about "Twitter" and I have just signed on to an account so please join me on Twitter. You first have to go to www.twitter.com and then follow the easy steps to get started.
I was not quite sure what Twitter was about so I went to the website and watched their easy step by step on how to join video. It's Free, just make sure you check with you phone company to see that you will not be charged for the text messages. It's a great way for instant updates or opinions.........for example, if I mention that a home just sold on the Island, you may want to know which one and how much? so you can just send me a "tweet" and I can answer you immediately! Kind of neat! You can search for me by simply searching for Renee Reinert.
Well, have a wonderful week!

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.
