Fun on Daniel Island

Fun at the Pierce Park Pavillion on Saturday

I had a great time on Saturday at the "Pork N' Pearls" event.  They had a great turnout and a wonderful time was had by all.  It was another event that reminded me how lucky we are to live here on Daniel Island!  Thought you'd enjoy some of my favorite photos!

How cute is she with her pearls?!

Things Are Looking Up!

Overall, I've seen the market really pick up in the last couple of weeks which is wonderful.  Here at Daniel Island Real Estate, we've sold several water/marsh view lots and activity is generally much brisker.  In looking at the inventory statistics for Daniel Island, numbers are gradually decreasing in just about all price ranges which is good news for those of you thinking about selling.  I feel very positive about the year ahead - things are already looking up!  

I also wanted to share some exciting news from our sales meeting today.  We had an update from our Marketing Department.  We have some great ads running nationally in magazines and online which bring buyers to Daniel Island from all over the country and the world.  Take a look at the Wall Street Journal online -  Wall Street Journal Online - great exposure for our wonderful Island Town!!

A New Cookie Krumbs Video

My CookieKrumbs, Chloe and Katie, have created a wonderful new video on the Daniel Island Club that I wanted to share - Daniel Island Club Video   They came to work with me last week for Career Day and I had such fun with them.  They did a lot of filming for their next video too - stay tuned!

Some Optimism For You

I thought this was a great article to share.  I'm optimistic about the year ahead and thought I'd share this positive perspective.   I hope you are all out there enjoying this gorgeous Spring weather!

School Days ...

I've adopted a 4th grade class at the Daniel Island School this year and it's been such a wonderful experience.  I have so enjoyed getting to know all the children and their fabulous teacher.  We are so lucky to have such a great school right here on the Island.  I am looking forward to going for a visit today and reading to the class.  I'd highly recommend the experience of volunteering there to anyone - it is such a joy!

Brenda's New Assistant

Meet my new assistant Rudy Cook.  He's here in the office helping me sell houses this afternoon.  The weather is warming up some, so I hope to have lots of walk-ins wanting to purchase on Daniel Island this weekend.  I feel so blessed that I was able to be the top agent in our office for 2010 - with Rudy's help I plan to sell even more in 2011!

So Exciting!

I am so excited to share this video with you.  Two wonderful 7th graders at the Daniel Island School, Chloe Hogan and Katie Lyons, have made a fabulous video for me to show our wonderful town from a kid's point of view.  They call themselves the CookieKrumbs - a combination of my nickname "Cookie" and their initials "C" and "K".  They had a ball making this and I think they make perfect tour guides for Daniel Island.  I can't wait to see their next video.  Enjoy!

3 Questions You Must Answer Before Buying a Home

We're having a rainy day on Daniel Island today.  It's a nice change and hopefully means more beautiful flowers this Spring.  I am busily getting back into the swing of things after the holidays.  I hope you are off to a great start in 2011.

My New Baby

Just before Christmas someone wonderful came into my life - my new puppy Rudy.  He is a 10 week old Shih Tzu.  He came to work with me in my purse today and is now hard at work under my desk.  I am just enjoying him so much.  Here's to a wonderful 2011 for everyone!
