We recently helped replace a roof at a local home for Habitat for Humanity in the wake of Hurricane Matthew. We wanted to give a glimpse of all the good work this organization does.

This year, my team and I will once again build a new house with Habitat for Humanity. We already have our quota of volunteers, but there are other ways you can help.

Grab your oyster knives and celebrate, Charleston!

Hurricane Matthew did considerable damage to a lot of homes in the Charleston area. Luckily, we know many contractors who are ready to work to fix them.

For the past few years, we have taken a day out of our busy schedule of buying and selling homes to build one. We have loved working with Habitat for Humanity in the past and are excited to work with them again. On Friday, November 4th, we will be building another home and we want you to join us. To get more information about the event and to find out how you can help, read our post.

Earlier this week Travel + Leisure named Charleston, SC the top city to visit in the world. Readers also named Charleston as the No. 1 city in the U.S. and Canada for the fourth consecutive year. Charleston took top marks in the categories of sights/landmarks, culture/arts, restaurants/food, people/friendliness, shopping and value, scoring 91.66 overall. The magazine said on its website, “In addition to historic battlegrounds and jasmine-scented streets, Charleston is home to award-winning hotels ... and restaurants. Antebellum charm, excellent boutiques, and the beautiful waterfronts at Sullivan’s Island and Folly Beach make this city one of the most beloved in the U.S. — and now, the world.” This award will no doubt continue to draw visitors to Charleston – a beautiful costal city with a growing port, cruise ships, and major industries such as Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Boeing. As residents of the Tri-County area, we must continue to maintain the quality of life in our area by working together. Change is inevitable, but we must continually adapt to that change to keep the city of Charleston as beautiful and charming as it has been for centuries.
