Everyone says you can't find move-in ready in Mount Pleasant anymore under $750,000. Watch this tour and tell me I'm wrong.

2016 Kings Gate Lane just hit the market in Dunes West — and after 27 years selling Charleston real estate, I can tell you this is the most renovated townhome I've seen in this community. And I've seen all of them.

Here's what "fully renovated" actually means here:

The entire downstairs is redone — a gorgeous new kitchen with gas cooktop, built-in oven, new dishwasher, beverage fridge, and breakfast bar seating for four, opening to a dining and living area with luxury vinyl plank throughout.

Out back: an oversized screened porch (15–20 feet wide), a fully fenced private backyard with artificial turf — zero maintenance — custom pavers, and a producing fig tree. All of it backing to a wooded buffer, so it's actually private. In a townhome. That almost never happens.

Upstairs: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, plus a loft. The primary suite fits a king with room to spare, has a sitting room the current owner uses as a private office, a walk-in closet over 10 feet deep, laundry right off the suite — and nothing but woods out the window. No neighbors looking in.

Smart layout too: both guest bedrooms sit across the front of the home, primary across the back. Real separation.

Townhomes in Dunes West have been turning over fast since COVID because they're the last reasonable way into one of Mount Pleasant's best gated communities. Most trade dated. This one doesn't.

Literally Running Through Dunes West: 5 Miles of Lowcountry Living

Come along with me for a 5-mile run through Dunes West as I show you what makes this Mount Pleasant community so special. From the golf course and River Club to the pools, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness center, boat ramp and beautiful tree-lined streets, this is more than a neighborhood—it’s a lifestyle. And sometimes the best way to show it is on foot.

$17 BILLION. That’s the size of the settlement Meta is reportedly facing—and it should make all of us think about just how powerful social media has become in shaping what we believe is normal.

That includes the way we see success.

Every day we’re shown the huge real estate deal, the luxury car, the perfect vacation and the investor supposedly making millions. What we don’t see is the debt, the losses, the financing costs, the failures—or how much of the image has been carefully manufactured for an algorithm.

Social media hasn’t just changed how we communicate. It has distorted our perception of wealth, success and what our own lives are supposed to look like.

Sometimes the smartest investment you can make is ignoring the hype and looking at the actual numbers.

Charleston luxury sellers: overpricing your home can cost you BIG. Of 176 recent $1M–$3M sales, homes that lingered 45+ days averaged just 89% of their original asking price. Today’s buyers are patient, informed and willing to wait. The first few weeks matter. Price and position your home correctly from Day 1—or the market may eventually do it for you.

Real Estate Lie #10: A bigger house is always worth proportionally more.

A 3,000 sq. ft. home isn’t automatically worth 50% more than a comparable 2,000 sq. ft. home. Lot value, fixed costs and diminishing price-per-square-foot all matter—which is why blindly multiplying neighborhood $/sq. ft. can badly overprice your home.

If you have kids in Charleston County School District, you NEED to read what’s being alleged about your tax dollars. Federal bribery charges. Questionable billing. Procurement concerns. And our kids and teachers pay the price.

If you have kids in Charleston County School District, you NEED to read what’s being alleged about your tax dollars. Federal bribery charges. Questionable billing. Procurement concerns. And our kids and teachers pay the price.



Charleston County schools have a trust problem. With serious allegations involving former and current school board members, parents deserve to know whether decisions are being made for our children…

⛵ **The sailing season is over. The adventure isn’t.**

After sailing south through the Caribbean, the boat is now on the hard in Grenada—and it’s back to a different kind of busy season.

There’s a rhythm to this life that works surprisingly well. When Charleston real estate is at its busiest, the Atlantic is entering hurricane season. When things begin to slow back home, the trade winds start calling.

And with Starlink, sailing doesn’t mean I stop working. Real estate will always be local, but the profession gives us more freedom than ever to work from almost anywhere.

Sailing is work, too. But it’s a different kind of work—one that brings freedom, adventure and a little balance to a life spent working hard the rest of the year.

**A lot of sales. A few thousand miles under sail. And enough adventure to make all of it worthwhile.**
