South Carolina has debuted new license plates — and they’re already sparking conversation 👀

From the clean, minimalist design (which some are calling modern and others a little too basic) to the bold claim across the top:
“Where the Revolutionary War Was Won.”

Some say that statement is historically inaccurate.
Others argue that while Yorktown sealed the deal, many of the decisive battles happened right here in South Carolina, making the claim fair — if not overdue.

Love it or hate it, one thing’s clear:
👉 History, identity, and pride are all riding together on this one.

So I’ll ask you — what are your thoughts?
Design: fresh & simple, or missing the mark?
Slogan: spot-on or a stretch?

🔑 CLOSED 🎉 Congratulations to my seller of this beautifully renovated condo in central Mount Pleasant! I helped him purchase this beauty just a few years ago, but life (and work) has now taken him to Valencia, Spain, so he no longer needs this Lowcountry base. To say this was a challenging transaction would be an understatement. Not only was my client in Spain for almost the entirety of the transaction, but we also had to deal with tenants who didn’t want to cooperate with the sale. This was further complicated by a property management company that simply failed to do its job. On so many levels. They just made it harder to work with the tenants than it needed to be. Then, the buyer’s dad got involved and riled up the buyer’s agent who clearly lacked the skills necessary to reign in the buyer’s dad. I don’t say all this to complain, but to inform. Every real estate transaction is different. Each one brings its on set of humans and it’s own set of moving parts that can easily go awry. No matter how “good the market is,” problems can still arise. That’s why it’s so important to have a professional that isn’t afraid to admit they’re wrong. Someone who’s willing to adapt and to learn. Someone who can say, we need to bring in this type of professional (in this case an eviction attorney) to guide us as to how to proceed. And we did. And we made it to closing with the tenants still in place and all parties were happy!

🚨 Hurricane Helene Disaster Relief 🌀

Tuesday, October 1 — it’s been a long few days for our friends and family from the Florida panhandle through the eastern half of Georgia, the upstate of South Carolina and western North Carolina. In my hometown (Swainsboro/Emanuel County), much of the county remains without power. Water is being restored for city residents, but those on wells who don’t have power are relying on water stockpiles or generators to have running water. Much of the same is true in Statesboro and at my beloved Georgia Southern University. Power is slowing being restored, but many have been without power since early Friday morning.

Dozens of roads in western North Carolina have been entirely washed away. Access into Asheville and Boone (among other areas) is limited or restricted. The city of Asheville in particular has been especially hard hit as their water supply was almost entirely destroyed. Residents there may be without water for months while the system is rebuilt. Resources in the area are limited and while there is a massive effort to get people supplies, officials are focused first on locating people and getting people out so that full damage assessments can be made and resources can be brought in. The airport in Asheville reopened, but not for commercial traffic, for supplies and resources to be flown in.

The immediate need is for cash donations, gasoline, and water. My office, among numerous other locations here in Charleston are gathering supplies to send to the people who need it most. As of now, the primary operations center for a lot of these resources is in Simpsonville, SC (near Greenville).

If you wish to donate, here are some of the best places to donate so that resources can get to people in the fastest possible way:

American Red Cross

KW Cares

You can also donate directly to me and I will gather supplies to head up to WNC. My friend Bre Powers is on the ground in WNC and can get cash to people who need it most. Venmo: (last 4: 9501)
