Growing up in the City of York, a medium sized town in "southern" Pennsylvania about 50 miles north of Baltimore, Maryland, was an enriching and a diversified experience. Having two brothers in a sports minded family, we participated in varsity football, basketball, volleyball, and baseball. At 6'4" and 250 lbs. coming out of high school in 1965, we was fortunate enough to earn a football grant-in-aid scholarship to The University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, NC.

Certainly one of the real highlights of our days at UNC came in the fall of 1966 when we defeated 7th ranked Michigan 21-7 at Ann Arbor before 100,000 screaming blue and maize fans! Getting married to our partner for life, Ginny, and transferring to The University of Cincinnati made 1967 an eventful year. In 1971, we graduated with a B.S. in Education. Having achieved our goals of a college education, Ginny and we embarked on our educational careers, which for us included teaching high school and coaching a variety of sports. In 1984, our path led down a different road to that of being a Realtor, which surprisingly embodied many of the same aspects as that of being an effective and successful teacher. Ginny continued in education a total of 32 years, until she agreed to retire and become our licensed client care specialist in 1998.

We have been blessed with two wonderful daughters, Becky and Jenny. Both girls kept our lives very busy and fulfilling by being involved in academics, athletics, and other school activities. Becky attended Washington and Lee University in Virginia and played on the tennis team. Later she earned her degree in chemistry from The University of Delaware. Becky is now a South Carolinian residing on Daniel's Island in Charleston, while pursuing a career as a pharmaceutical representative. Jenny recently graduated from Clemson University in Clemson, SC, and had the opportunity of being a member of the first ever Clemson Varsity Women's Rowing team. She is also residing on Daniel's Island, as our entire family has fallen in love with the Low Country of South Carolina.

Beyond athletics, especially college football, whether it is Penn State, Cincinnati, Clemson, or UNC, we find many of our interests relate to real estate and homes. We have a sincere interest in historic preservation and older homes, especially since our first home was a Pennsylvania German stone farmhouse, which was built in 1786 and came complete with a stone bank barn and a stone springhouse. This Old House Classic, Restore America, Landscape Design, and If Walls Could Talk on The Home and Garden Channel too often find our interest. We have collected primitive and early American antiques since the 1960's and find them a compliment to any home. Added to this is an interest in colonial and southern design, especially how today's builders can incorporate older architectural elements and styles into present day homes. However, living and working in the Litchfield/Pawley's Island area still leaves time for us to surf fish and Ginny to garden and cross stitch.

We love what we do and are thankful to have the opportunity to have a career at a wonderful vacation or retirement destination. Helping our clients to buy and sell homes seems natural. We delight in sharing the enthusiasm of a home purchase and find tremendous satisfaction when our creative marketing and attention to detail enables our buyers and sellers to achieve both personal and financial goals. It is extremely gratifying to receive calls from satisfied clients or a referral from a former client whose experience from buying or selling a home was effortless and enjoyable. Then we know we've succeeded in making our clients Number One!

Titles >Yours In Deed The way that you hold title to your property has legal, tax, and estate-planning consequences. Many buyers do not receive adequate professional advice on this important aspect of property ownership. If you are purchasing property by yourself, you will be acquiring title by sole (or "separate") ownership, single ownership, or severalty ownership. The term "severalty" does not denote more than one person - it is a legal term meaning that sole ownership is severed from all other forms of ownership. If you are purchasing property with others, the most common forms of co-ownership are tenancy in common, joint tenancy, and community property. Tenants in common can be created when two or more related or unrelated people hold title to a property either equally or unequally. Each individual has the right to do whatever he wishes with his interest in the property. For example, he can sell his interest, give it away, or will it to someone else. Before you take title, you should seek advice from your tax advisor and an attorney, particularly if you are buying the property with another person.
