Greetings

Greetings to our Sea Pines neighbors,

Happy New Year! Clark, Cramer & Frank wish you and yours all the best for 2010 and throughout the new decade we are entering.

We have some good news to share with you as we start off 2010: Two new Associates have joined our team; Fred Neary, who has been a highly successful real estate agent in Rochester, NY, and a Sea Pines property owner since 1992, now calls Sea Pines home and is working with us. Alicia Mullaney, previously with Sea Pines Resorts as manager of rental home and villa procurement, has decided to parlay her customer service expertise into real estate sales, and has joined our team. We are extremely pleased that both chose to be part of Clark, Cramer & Frank.

There is no doubt that the market has been challenging for those who were buying or selling real estate this past year. 2010 probably will be more of the same but also will present us with some additional “opportunities”. To better serve our market, two agents on our team have received certification as Short Sale and Foreclosure Resources by the National Association of Realtors. If you know of someone who is struggling with their mortgage obligation and who might be able to benefit from a discussion about some of the remedies available to them, please encourage them to contact us.

As we review the data shared with you in this annual update, it is encouraging to see that Sea Pines Plantation has had a good, solid volume of real estate transactions this past year, particularly in the quarter just completed. Buyer demand for the life-style and amenities offered uniquely in Sea Pines has remained strong; time lines for some may have shifted, and price points may have changed, but the desire to own property and live part time or full time in Sea Pines is still very much alive

Clark, Cramer & Frank is proud that we continue to lead all area agents and teams in the number of Sea Pines transactions that have closed since 2007. Our expertise and knowledge of Sea Pines is vast, and transcends all of the unique challenges of buying or selling in today’s market.

If you want to discuss more about the marketplace and your property, please feel free to give us a call, stop by our South Beach Marina office, or visit our website at www.wesellseapines.com

Thank you for your support, please contact us if we may be of service, and again, Happy New Year!
