4 Historic District Properties You Have to See

The US Forestry Service is moving its local Francis Marion headquarters from McClellanville to Huger. As a result they no longer need the several government owned properties used to house rangers and are selling them. These properties can’t be found using a regular MLS search, because they are not listed by a real estate agent and are instead being sold through an online auction by General Services Administration. Buying property via auction is different than typical real estate transaction, however the best way to look out for your best interest and make sure you are getting your money’s worth is to have a qualified buyer’s agent, such as myself, representing you in the transaction. If you are interested in seeing any of the following properties, I will be happy to arrange a showing and represent your interests throughout the transaction.

[...] I had written last October about the US Forestry auctioning their 4 properties in McClellanville. The 3 homes and 1 lot were initially priced higher than expected and received very little interest and no bids. They were taken off the market for a brief period and reintroduced at much more affordable prices. This was an internet auction, once a bid was placed the price rose by predetermined increment for the next bidder. Interest was much higher at these new prices and all four properties were sold this weekend at the close of the auction. Here is a review of the properties and what they sold for, although it is important to keep in mind that these homes have not been lived in for quite a while and will need some work to bring them up-to-date. 735 Morrison Street [...]
