The articles offer generic advice for a generic buyer seeking a generic property in a generic locale. Likely included in the four or five bulleted paragraphs will be advice on affordability, stuffer content that reminds you to put a little bit more into your piggy bank each week.

The familiar real estate adage of “location, location, location” is, even in our mobile and fast-paced world, still relevant. A great business location boosts company visibility—and sales. So, when it became obvious that we were outgrowing our space, we were only too thrilled when the neighboring building became available. After several months of design, construction, and interior finishes the new offices and conference rooms were ready. The layout is outstanding and the harbor views are even better! We are excited about the shopping, restaurants and waterfront park just steps away at the new and fabulous Shelter Cove Towne Centre. I am still in Shelter Cove Executive Park (only now we are in the Greenwood Building). The phone numbers are still the
If one were asked to list three things that make Hilton Head Island special, the list-toppers would be (in no specific order): beautiful homes and villas, pristine beaches and amazing golf. That is a fairly generic list when one is comparing resort destinations with a real estate purchase in mind.

I’ve lived on Hilton Head Island just under 30 years. Fresh out of graduate school (Texas) and armed with an MBA, I was living the corporate dream. Several months into it, I received a call from my uncle who kindly extended an invitation to visit the island—and maybe do a little fishing. It was love at first sight. The beaches were so beautiful, the swaying of the live oaks and the whispers of the palms lulled me into submission. And the fishing was great! The people were friendly, and the island and environs were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Hilton Head was calling and I had to answer.
Upon returning to corporate life, I tendered my resignation and was back on the island as quickly as humanly possible. Hilton Head was
