Sea Pines Spring, 2010 Update

Dear Sea Pines Friends and Neighbors,

Our past mailings to you have advertised that since 2007, the agents of Clark, Cramer & Frank have closed more Sea Pines real estate transactions than any other agent or team in the entire Hilton Head Island-Bluffton area MLS (and folks, that is currently over 1200 agents).

Well, the agent rankings for 2009 full year performance have been published, and we are proud to say that our record still stands; no agent or team has closed more Sea Pines transactions! In fact, we are the number three ranked agent or team for business volume closed for the ENTIRE Hilton Head-Bluffton area.

If you area considering the sale or purchase of your home anywhere on the Island, but particularly if it involves a Sea Pines property, you owe it to yourself to talk to the agents of Clark, Cramer & Frank. When you note the activity on the top of this card, and factor in the success we have enjoyed over the past three years, it just makes sense to put our knowledge and experience to work for you.

The weather so far this spring must be setting records for the number of warm, sun-filled days, followed by delightfully cool nights. Add to that the excitement that comes each year with our Heritage Golf Tournament, and you have the essence of Sea Pines in the springtime; great golf and perfect weather!

Visitor traffic has been brisk with the return of the Easter and Tournament vacationers, and we are very optimistic for 2010 sales based on the level of sales activity and serious inquiries that we are experiencing lately. One could argue that the demand for Sea Pines properties has been pent up over the last two years, and now people are starting to feel a little more confident about moving forward with purchases, before interest rates move higher. Whatever the reason, we are excited over the recent strength of both home and villa sales, which are tracking well ahead of 2009 activity levels.

What are buyers looking for? The majority are interested in properties that they do not have to fix up or otherwise invest additional monies. To the extent that a property is in move-in condition, it is much more appealing to the largest segment of the buyers we are seeing. If you are thinking about selling your home, we are happy to give you our thoughts on how best to present your property to the market. Please call or email us for a consultation.
