Looking for the perfect Charleston Lifestyle Home? Welcome to 3233 Cottonfield Drive. Come home to breathe. Enjoy life on the water with your own private dock and boat lift, in Mount Pleasant’s premier gated community of Dunes West. Boasting some of Charleston's best golfing, it is just minutes away from award winning shopping, beaches, and dining as well. Downtown Charleston and the College of Charleston are a short 20 min. away. This beautiful home has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in just over 4,000 sq. ft. The rooms flow generously, one to the other with soaring ceilings more than 14 feet high.

Come in from a day out in the boat and cool off in your private pool. Adjacent is a BONUS building that can be converted into a pool house or game room.

Imagine walking down your dock and jumping on your boat, before taking a short ride to the Wando River. Boat storage is available within the community as well.

This home is perfect for families, as there is lots of separation between the master bedroom and the other 3 bedrooms, or empty nesters who need a fantastic place for the grand kids to come and play. There is even a play set in the yard. The extra large room with full bath over the garage would make a perfect bunk room, media room, or even a mother-in-law suite.

Wow, what an incredibly beautiful place to live!

Uniquely built for entertaining, the open floor plan has a wall of windows bringing the outdoors in. The gourmet kitchen, living room and master bedroom are all tied together by the large deck that leads to the pool.  Enjoy over 1 acre of land covered with beautiful palm trees perfect for family parties.

Welcome home to the waterfront lifestyle so many dream about and so few can afford.

Call today for a private showing.

The downstairs Master Suite does not disappoint with beautiful bay windows that overlook the back yard and pool, and more soaring ceilings for breathing room with gorgeous inlay flooring.

The pool deck is just beyond with a BONUS detached garage adjacent. This could be used as a pool or game room – it even has an unfinished space above with electrical & partial plumbing! The Spa-like master bath has a huge vanity and sink just for her flanked with 3 mirrors. The dining room can accommodate your entire family for Thanksgiving & boasts views of the front garden. 

This home is well-thought-out, with two more bedrooms downstairs have bathrooms; one of the bedrooms opens to the outside for pool access and is across from the bonus detached garage/pool house. The FROG (finished room over garage) is massive! With its own private bathroom and closet, it could be used as a mother-in-law suite, media room, bunk room for the grand kids or your teenager's dream room! 

The wall space in this special home is perfect for your spectacular works of art. Freshly painted in Repose Gray, this home was completely remodeled in 2005 with new HVAC. The Clubhouse overlooks the course with beautiful grounds and Live Oaks abound.

Do You Need a Buyer's Agent When Purchasing a New Construction Home?

New construction home purchases have become a larger and larger segment of the Charleston market lately. Today we are going to talk about buying new homes and if you need a buyer’s agent to do so.

Buying a new home through a builder seems so simple, why would you need a buyer’s agent? For starters, it costs you absolutely nothing to have a professional on your side. If you want to test this, walk into any new construction office and ask them to discount the home by the amount you would have paid a buyer’s agent. They will always say no.

Many buyers don’t know that even with new construction, there is room for negotiation. I got one of my clients $25,000 in upgrades from negotiations alone.

Finally, you have an advocate on your side. Having someone who can talk to builders without involving emotion can be valuable, and they may be able to solve certain problems you are unable to.

Having an agent on your side during a new home purchase not only brings their experience in, but the knowledge that you will have an independent home inspector walk through the home so you know what you’re paying for. Use our experience to make your dream a reality!

If you have any questions for us, feel free to give us a call or send us a quick email. We look forward to hearing from you!

How a Full-Service Brokerage Will Sell Your Charleston Home

In today's video, we'll go over what I like to call Commissions 101. What is the difference between a limited listing brokerage and a full-service brokerage when you're looking to sell your home?

Now that we're in a strong seller's market here in Charleston, many sellers are debating hiring an agent to sell their home, or hiring a limited listing brokerage. A limited listing brokerage only pays the buyer's side of the commission, saving the seller the listing commission.

Some sellers think a limited listing service does just about everything an agent does. They put the home up on the MLS, offer it up to the buyers, get you a contract, and the home is sold - simple as that. Well, maybe.

A full-service brokerage will price your house correctly. That is important because we know that a house that sells in the first 30 days will sell for 97% of list price. If it takes 90 days to sell your home, it will only sell for 91% of list price, according to the National Association of Realtors. On a $400,000 house, that's a difference of $32,000. That's a lot of money in your pocket. To maximize your profits, pricing your home correctly matters.

Secondly, a full-service brokerage will help you through the home inspection process. So many deals fall through during the inspection period. Of course, the buyers want every single thing repaired, and the sellers don't want to repair anything. Two great agents can negotiate a win-win situation where both the buyer and seller are happy, and the deal closes.

Next is the appraisal process. Like it or not, we are in a rising market here in Charleston, and prices are going up quickly. If we get a contract on your house at the asking price, what happens if it doesn't appraise? Most buyers get financing through a bank. The bank won't lend them the money if it doesn't appraise. A great agent is going to do two things: they're going to make sure that your home gets appraised for the highest possible value; if it doesn't appraise, they're going to make sure they get the highest possible value for the seller.

Another benefit offered by the full-service brokerage is marketing. Great marketing creates demand for your home. A full-service agency will definitely create demand. The more demand, the higher the price.

We believe a great full-service agent will more than pay for your commission, and get more money in your pocket. If you're looking to list your home with a full-service brokerage, please give me a call and let me show you how we can sell your home quickly and for top dollar. We'd love to hear from you!
