Why Megan

Buyers Who Got The House

“There were 4 other offers on our house within 24 hours, and Megan managed to close it for us!” Flavio Lici, relocated from Northern Virginia.

01

The Details Photos Miss

Which way the house faces, where the afternoon sun hits the pool, flood zone and elevation. Megan uses tools like ShadeMap to show you the shade before you buy the house.

02

Ownership Math

Years in her family’s property management business mean real numbers on what a home rents for and costs to hold.

03

Relocation Help

James Island or Johns Island? Mount Pleasant or Summerville? Moving from out of state, you start with a map and a plan, not a list of addresses.

The Process

How Buying Works

01

Consultation

Budget, timing and how you will use the home. Full time, second home, rental or horses changes everything.

02

Curated Showings

A short list worth your time, walked with an eye on condition, flood risk, flow and resale.

03

Offer And Negotiation

A contract built to win, and terms that hold up through inspection and appraisal.

04

Close And Settle

Lender, attorney, inspector and insurance coordination through to the keys.

FAQ

Buyer Questions

Q

How much is flood insurance here?

It depends on the elevation certificate, zone and age of the home. You get real numbers before the offer, not after.

Q

James Island or Johns Island?

Neither is better, they are built for different lives. James Island trades on commute and the beach, Johns Island on space and land.

Q

Can I keep horses?

On the right parcel, yes. Zoning, acreage and HOA rules decide it. See Equestrian & Land.

Q

What does representation cost me?

Terms are discussed openly and put in writing before the first showing.
