| | Outside Magazine Ranks Beaufort #8 of 16 'Best Places to Live in America for 2015' - by Outside Magazine | | |
| | Half the county surrounding Beaufort is water. Which means anglers and paddlers have the better part of a million acres to explore, from brackish inland rivers to Jurassic Park–looking salt marshes that separate the mainland from the barrier islands. That’s not counting the Atlantic Ocean, where sea kayakers can play with dolphins before beaching on the white sands of Hunting Island State Park.
As for the city itself, think of a coastal Gone with the Wind. Giant live oaks, thick with Spanish moss, surround antebellum homes. Consider it a smaller, less expensive Charleston, with the same historic charm but a tenth of the population and slightly more affordable digs. (The median home value in Beaufort is $253,000.) Locals and visitors alike eat plenty of seafood, either fresh catch from markets like the Gay Fish Company or in the form of a shrimp burger from the Shrimp Shack. The oyster industry is picking up, too; get some of the super-briny gems from Lady’s Island Oyster Company. —G.A. | | |

| | Selling Your Home Today - Seven Secrets for Selling Faster and Better - by Rebecca Sprecher | | |
| | If you are contemplating putting your home on the market this spring, here are a few tips to help with your planning.
Selling Secret #7: Price and market your home correctly.
Interview Realtors and listen carefully to what they say. Check their price recommendation with other comparable properties in the area, to make sure that your house is being priced appropriately; if it is too high, other Realtors may hesitate to show it.
Generally speaking, listings are at their hottest during the initial months on the market so you want to be priced correctly from the start. Also ask what your Realtor’s plan will be for marketing your home: Will they place it in the Multiple Listing Service right away or not? Will they try to generate traffic by running ads and other techniques? Is your Realtor accessible? Do they encourage other Realtors to show their listings (and vice versa) to give your home the maximum exposure possible? | | |

| | Spring Spruce Up: Tips for Painting Your Home - by Laura McCarthy | | |
| | A new coat of paint can make your home—and you—glow with happiness. If you are considering selling, why not get it out of the way now so your time will be free for other repairs?
As with most home projects, prepping is key and will guarantee the best results. Here are a few things from Angie’s List to think about beforehand:
• After you receive approval, have the house powerwashed
to remove mildew and dirt. You can’t paint
on top of mildew. Painters may not be equipped or
trained for this job, so question them carefully if they
offer to do it. If you’re not confident, call
a power-washing company that
you trust. If you’re really
handy, rent a professional | | |
