You’d get twice the attention along with different, yet complementary, perspectives of two generations combined with years of Real Estate experience in both Germany and the USA. Originally from Germany, we’ve lived in the US for a cumulative total of 33 years. The Lowcountry has been our home for the last 8 (Loni) and 10 years (Karoline), and we love it! We share a passion for helping people, and we’re known for taking care of our clients’ needs from first contact to closing and beyond. Our clients describe us as a dynamic team that provides excellent customer service and pays excellent attention to detail, which they have attributed to our “German work ethic.” We love people, and we love what we’re doing. That is why we go above and beyond “the extra mile” to ensure our clients’ satisfaction. EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

Taking out the Anchors Local Fishing REALTOR and Fishing Guide shares his experience with the TODAY show cast By Drew Davis REALTOR® Sea Pines Beach Club Real Estate Hilton Head Island Fishing Guide Out Of The Blue Fishing Charters

eing able to take the 3rd hour of TODAY show news anchors out fishing was an experience I will never forget. It all started with a call from one of the producers late one afternoon that I honestly thought was a prank phone call

Behind the Scenes of the 3rd Hour Today Show filming on Sea Pines Beach in Hilton Head Island, SC on May 2oth

from one of my buddies. As more serious questions were asked, I soon realized that I would be embarking on one of the most memorable charters in my 11 years of guiding. Filming day couldn’t have gone any smoother as I was greeted by an amazing crew of producers, cameramen and a good fishing forecast. As we left the marina with Al Roker, Sheinelle Jones, Dylan Dreyer, and Craig Melvin, I couldn’t wait to show them the local waterways. To my surprise the crew was not as rusty as they led me to believe. Dylan and Sheinelle were phenomenal casters, and Craig’s birthday luck landed him a fish. On the way back to the dock, Al did an excellent job driving the boat, and we even spotted some dolphins, which was the perfect way to complete the trip. A special feature in the segment was having my Dad, Fuzzy Davis, out there in a second boat carrying the camera crew. Fuzzy pioneered inshore fishing in this area 50 years ago and taught me everything I need to know about the local waters. The Hilton Head Chamber of Commerce, as well as many other local businesses did a great job welcoming the TODAY show to

showcase this beautiful Island we call home. I could see the anchors immediately relax on the water and fall under the spell of our unique coastal surroundings. Al Roker and I joked that he might even buy a second home here from me as I also sell real estate for Sea Pines Real Estate. I am forever grateful that the phone call was not a prank, and I am hoping to see the TODAY show cast back on Out of the Blue fishing charters soon! Drew Davis is the owner of Out of the Blue Fishing Charters (www. outofthebluefishingcharters.com) located at Hilton Head Boathouse Marina and is also a licensed real estate agent with Sea Pines Real Estate. He can be reached at 843-422-5438 or by email: captaindrewdavis@gmail.com

CUNNINGHAM/NOLDE TEAM

A native South Carolinian, Wendy Corbitt has been a Hilton Head Islander since 1975. With a degree in biology and a minor in chemistry, she worked in the medical field for many years, first as a clinical chemist then in immunology/oncology research, before becoming a licensed Realtor with Sea Pines Real Estate in 1998. Her analytical background and her love for people are a perfect match for helping buyers and sellers with their real estate needs. Our wide sandy beaches, temperate climate, lush vegetation, boundless amenities and natural beauty make selling our area an easy task. However, with so many excellent community choices, real estate decisions can be daunting for a newcomer. If Corbitt had one bit of advice to share with clients, it would be the importance of working with a knowledgeable and experienced real estate professional. Recognizing that the sale or purchase of a home is one of the most important financial decisions any of us make, finding the “right” real estate professional is essential. Corbitt has been recognized as a Top Producer and Distinguished Sales Associate and is a recipient of numerous Realtor Service Awards. She became a principal and broker-in-charge of Sea Pines Real Estate at The Beach Club in 2009. Her brokerage is the most recent recipient of The Hilton Head Area Association of Realtors’ prestigious President’s Cup. She has served on the board of directors for the Hilton Head Area Association of Realtors and the vestry at St. Luke’s Church. Passionate about her community and her profession, what thrills Corbitt is listening and learning from her clients to help buyers match their lifestyle with the absolute right home for them or to help sellers successfully market their properties to achieve their real estate goals. If you are thinking of buying or selling, call or text Wendy Corbitt today.

Happy

Describes this years Fun in the Sun for Everyone event!

hat an absolutely incredible day Pockets Full of Sunshine had Friday, June 3rd at their annual Fun in the Sun for Everyone surf and beach event! The turnout was wonderful despite the unexpected traffic and delays. The weather was beautiful, the water was perfect and there were smiles and sunshine everywhere you looked. Over the years this community event has grown from 25 participants to well over 200. The activities have grown right along with the crowd with unique new experiences added each year. This year Miss Bluffton, Miss Hilton Head and their princesses joined in on the fun along with Shoogie the SERG Sea Turtle and a real life mermaid. The participants, individuals of all ages with special needs, their families and friends, always have a blast and enjoy returning to such a cheerful and welcoming day by the seaside. There are exciting firsts every year as well. An adult participant who had never been

in the water beyond his ankles was encouraged by volunteers and his new friends to catch his first wave. He rode in with a smile on his face from ear to ear and thumbs up in the air. Another sunny story from the day was a brand new volunteer who was encouraged to attend by his neighbor and enjoyed the day and its participants so thoroughly that he plans to become a regular part of the sunshine family. “Fun in the Sun for EVERYONE” was built off a 2015 Special Needs Surf Day, created by James Bartholomew, who wanted to provide a fun day of surfing for his sister Sally and her then classmates who had special needs. Through the years, James has continued to help organize the event, which has grown each year. Thank you to the incredible volunteers. So many of whom are veterans of this event and return year after year. And a special thanks to our sponsors who make the event possible; Annie Scott Events - Bartholomew Family - Beachside Getaway - Billy

ISLAND INFORMATION

Hilton Head Island Taxes REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX There are many tax districts in Beaufort County each with a corresponding tax rate. The map above will guide to for the local area. REAL ESTATE TAX AT PURCHASE When you purchase real estate the county will use the purchase value to calculate the taxes due. This will be reduced to 4% of the purchase if you are to reside in the property and 6% if you use it for any other purpose. The result will then be subject to the millage for your district. REAL ESTATE TAX AFTER PURCHASE The county uses an assessed value, determined by them, to calculate continuing real estate taxes. This is also reduced to 4% for residents or 6% for nonresidents. That number is multiplied by the corresponding millage rate to determine the amount of taxes. Resident millage rate is lower than nonresidents as residents do not pay that portion of the millage relating to school operations.

IF YOU ARE OVER 65 One-year residents, or more, who are over 64, or blind, or have a disability may reduce their assessed value of their primary residence by $50,000 before reducing the assessed value to 4%. AN EXAMPLE Purchase Price = $300,000 X 4 or 6 percent X the millage rate shown on the map above for your district = taxes due. 300,000 X 4% (resident) = 12,000 X .102 millage rate in Hilton Head Plantation = $1,224 in taxes due. Remember, the information here is general in nature. If you have specific questions about your personal taxes you should check with the Country Auditor (843 255 2500), the Tax Assessor’s Office (843 255 2400) or your personal accountant.

SLIDING SCALE OF SC STATE TAX RATE FOR PERSONAL INCOME 2.5% on the first $2,530 3% on the next $2,530 4% on the next $2,530 5% on the next $2,530 6% on the next $2,530 7% on $12,650+

Reinvision Your Space by Bryan Mudrak, Owner of More Space Place in Bluffton and Mt. Pleasant, SC It’s been over a year since people began working more from home and changing their lifestyle patterns due to the pandemic. This period has given homeowners a chance to see their homes in a whole new way and to reevaluate what works and what doesn’t. One thing builders and designers are seeing more of in remodels and new builds is a request for more storage space. After spending so much time at home, homeowners more than ever want to declutter and simplify their homes. Fortunately, the folks at More Space Place have been figuring out how to organize your stuff since 2003; and they have some great ideas. With more people working and dining at home, it can be challenging to store all the stuff required for various activities from office work to schoolwork. No one wants to be overwhelmed by clutter all day, so getting organized and implementing dedicated storage solutions can keep everyone on track. A good place to start is with closets. Customizing closets can maximize the vertical space utilizing every inch and allowing easy access to everything stored

there from clothing to seasonal items. You can even build a dresser into the closet for the convenience of having everything in one place. The custom designed closet can save time, money and aggravation because you can easily see what you have and find what you need. No more wasted time searching through clutter just to find that shirt or pants you KNOW you have somewhere. Closet rods can be set at heights to match your garment sizes. Adjustable shelving will help you find the perfect place for folded items, linen and shoes. Even the higher elevations of your closet can be used for seasonal and light weight items. Another area that accommodates storage is the garage. Again, vertical storage with shelving can open the floor of your garage for what it was meant for–your car! Vinyl slat walls can hold hooks, shelves, baskets and many other vertical storage solutions. Garage Cabinets come in all sizes to give you the space you need to store all your stuff! Ceiling racks provide space for large containers of holiday decorations, camping and sports gear, kayaks, and lawn equipment. Many homeowners are having to turn the extra guest bedroom into an office or

By replacing the bed that is used only a few times a year with a Murphy bed or Wall bed, you can still use the room for visiting guests while gaining an open space for a home office, craft room, classroom or man cave.

The best news is modular cabinetry is now available in hundreds of colors and a variety of styles. Cabinets are available in all shapes and sizes to truly customize the room to fit your desired wants and needs.

What You Do Not Know About Mosquitoes The World Health Organization reports that the most deadly animal on the continent of Africa is not the lion or the crocodile, but mosquitoes. Although tiny, they carry diseases that can have consequences that range from serious to deadly. Diseases spread by mosquitoes include Malaria, Zika Virus, West Nile Virus, Yellow Fever, Dengue, and several forms of Encephalitis. in the Lowcountry, we are blessed to have the technology to fight these diseases, but we also have the expertise to control mosquito populations. There are many ways homeowners can help keep down mosquito populations. Anywhere there is standing water should be eliminated. Examples include standing water in puddles, clogged rain gutters, tarps used to cover pools or grills, and smaller, inconspicuous things where water gathers like old tires, flowerpots, buckets, or wheelbarrows.

Tip_Pest Control.indd 1

In our region, even the most diligent home-grown mosquito control efforts will not be totally successful. It takes a pest control professional to maximize the reduction of mosquito populations. Hilton Head Exterminators can help people maintain control of their outdoor areas through a number of successful mosquito control methods. Hilton Head Exterminators’ mosquito control technicians know where mosquitoes breed beyond the standing water locations previously mentioned. This includes under leaves, within plants, and around any cool, damp and dark areas that plants provide. Technicians can use fogging techniques to effectively control these areas. Another option is their “misting system”, a comprehensive coverage system that periodically sprays to control a broader area. A newer and more environmentally friendly method Hilton Head Exterminators has begun to distribute

by Brian DeChirico, General Manager, Hilton Head Exterminators is the “pod” system. Small liquid-filled pods are strategically placed which attract mosquitoes. The water inside stops their ability to reproduce which eliminates the population. Whichever system is chosen, the objective is the same: families can remain outside without the hassle of mosquitoes, and even the threat of one of the diseases mosquitoes carry becomes far less of a factor. Brian DeChirico, General Manager of Hilton Head Exterminators, invites anyone who is concerned with aggravating mosquito populations around their yard to call to determine which mosquito control option is the most appropriate for their specific needs. Hilton Head Exterminators can be reached in Hilton Head at 843-6812590 and the Bluffton Office at 843706-9933. The website address is www. hiltonheadexterminators.com

Metal Roofing takes the Lead Metal roofing is not new, but it is gaining in popularity across the U.S. Studies show the demand for metal roofing is steadily increasing as homeowners discover the variety of color and style options as well as the long term benefits of a metal roof. And,

Provided by 4M Metals

as homeowners look for ways to reduce environmental impact, metal roofing stands out as a logical choice. Here are some other trends that are driving the growing popularity of metal roofs:

DESIGN AESTHETICS: Metal roofs are available in a wide range of colors and styles, including options that can mimic slate, clay tile and even wood shakes and asphalt, all while providing the longterm, low-maintenance performance and protection of metal. A metal roof also compliments a wide range of architectural styles. EFFICIENCY: Many people don’t realize that a metal roof is more energy efficient than an asphalt roof. Most metal roofing finishes are EnergyStar rated, signifiying the panels will reflect rather than absorb heat. This can reduce energy costs by keeping your home cooler in the summer. WEATHER PROTECTION: If you live in an area that is prone to hurricanes or harsh climates, metal roofing can help to protect your house from winds up to 145 mph, severe storms and hail. Many insurances companies provide discounts on homes that have a qualified metal roofing system.

We are proud to be your fabrication expert in the Lowcountry and surrounding areas.

LONGEVITY: A metal roof can last two to three times longer than an asphalt roof, possibly a lifetime.

Let 4M Metals be the difference in your roof! Metal Roofing (Standing Seam, 5V Crimp, Tuff Rib) Trim Fabrication Custom Fabrication Roofing Supplies Sheet Metal Sales Delivery Available

843.208.2433

SUSTAINABLE: Metal roofing is fully recyclable. It also works well with the implementation of solar panels to the roof–especially when you consider that an asphalt roof will need replacing in about 10 years, which means the added labor of removing solar panels.

Termite Treatments & Warranties– the abbreviated version

by Trezza Termite & Pest Control

Comparing termite protection and treatment options in the LowCountry can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling like you’re comparing apples to french fries. Warranties, treatments, coverages, lifetime contracts vs. limited contracts, exclusions... we specialize in offering the ideal treatment tailored to each and every situation. At TTPC we don’t expect our clients to be entomologists, that’s our job and we’re here to help while you select the termite company that best fits your needs. In the pest control industry, the LowCountry is considered to be an extremely high risk area for termite infestation. Between our native Subterranean termites and invasive Formosan Termites, termite infestations are a “when“ and not “if” in the LowCountry. If your home or structure does not currently have a protection program in place, then you’re leaving yourself vulnerable to devastating damage. We recommend that everyone fully understands and evaluates their current protection policy. Specifically, look to see if Formosan Termites are included. If not, consider alternative options. You also want to have an

awareness of the control efforts that are in place to reduce your risk. Was a conventional liquid treatment used or was it something else? In spite of what you might read online, our experience has been that termite baiting leaves the house or structure vulnerable to termite infestations. If termite baiting is the only control strategy in place, then it may be time to go shopping. Does your current provider offer a lifetime warranty? How comprehensive are your routine termite inspections? Have you taken the time to thoroughly read through your annual or semi-annual termite inspection report? Are conducive conditions being brought to your attention? If not… it may be time to seek alternative options. Typically, long-term termite control is not achieved with a single treatment event. Comprehensive inspections are critical to ensure the health of your home. Use the information above as a guide when you’re considering your options. TTPC’s termite warranties are lifetime, transferrable and cover all species of subterranean termites. Our inspection program is one of the most comprehensive inspection programs in our industry and our estimates are free.

What Home Buyers Want and How Builders Can Provide It

Provided by 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty

With 60% of potential buyers saying they’d prefer a newly built home over an existing one, builders have a great opportunity. Though lumber prices have made completing homes much more challenging, there is a huge potential market for new construction. But what, exactly, do homeowners want, and how can you provide it? Let’s look.

Laundry rooms are a must for most

Of everything home buyers want and expect in a home, a laundry room (preferably on the first floor) is #1. In fact, 47% of buyers said it was essential (40% said it was desirable as well). It’s important for you to consider including laundry rooms in your homes to attract the most buyers possible.

Outdoor features are important to many

A close second to laundry rooms is outdoor features. Particularly, exterior lighting is important to buyers. It makes sense, given that their new home will likely be in newer suburban developments that don’t have the glut of lighting urban centers do. But exterior lighting makes even more

sense when you consider the other popular outdoor amenities buyers want. These include a front and back porch, a patio, and a deck. Being outdoors from the comfort of your home is crucial for home buyers, day and night.

Energy efficiency is key (just don’t make buyers pay more for it)

Energy efficiency is important to homeowners. Buyers tend to expect ENERGY STAR windows and appliances in their homes. Ceiling fans—a traditional energy-saving cooling method—also appear high on buyers’ want list. Interestingly, though buyers say they want greener homes that have a smaller environmental impact, they simply aren’t willing to pay much more for it. According to the NAHB, a mere 15% of buyers would be willing to pay more for an environmentally friendly home. That tracks consistently with past data, which showed that only 16% of millennial buyers would be willing to pay more for an environmentally friendly home. However, there is a caveat. Buyers said that they are willing to pay more if energy-efficient items will lower their utility costs.

A structural warranty is always a good idea

Finally, buyers of new construction have an overwhelming want for a structural warranty. According to a joint survey from 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (2-10 HBW) and NAHB, 94% of prospective buyers said that they’d be more likely to purchase a new home from a builder who offers a structural warranty. As the industry leader in structural coverage, 2-10 HBW can help builders easily fulfill this want. We work with builders of all sizes, from small to large builders who require COVE-approved warranty books and everything in between. On top of giving your homeowners something they really want, a structural warranty from 2-10 HBW benefits the builder in three significant ways. 1 Protects your budget by transferring structural liabilities from your books to ours and giving you access to our administration teams 2 Promotes your quality by providing thirdparty validation of your work 3 Lets you plan for your future by decreasing the risks involved with every home you build.

You Build It, We’ll Back YOU BUILD IT, You Up. BACK YOU UP. WE’LL Together, we build the confidence that sells homes. Together , we build the

confidence that sells homes.

HOME TIP

Financing your Custom Home Provided by Coastal States Mortgage The process of building a dream home is a very exciting time for homeowners, but it can also be a little daunting with all the choices and decisions that need to be made. One of the most important decisions in the process will be how to finance the construction. In residential financing there are two primary financing options: a standard construction loan, and one-time close, construction-topermanent loan. Standard construction loans are short term loans, normally 9 to 15 months in duration. These loans are a line of credit for the homeowner which is funded gradually as the property is being built. When the line is fully funded and the property is complete, the homeowner will need to pay off the

line, which could mean refinancing it into a longterm permanent mortgage or paying it off with other funds. The primary advantage with these loans is that the borrower is not committed to a long-term mortgage and has some flexibility when deciding how to finance the completed property. The second option is a one-time close, construction-to-permanent (C to P) loan. In this scenario the client still gets a credit line which is drawn to finance the construction, but the line will automatically convert to a permanent mortgage when the construction is complete. In this case the borrower will choose their

permanent financing loan upfront before the construction is started. The big advantage of C to P loans is that the client can lock in their final rate before construction begins and there may be fewer closing costs overall. One of the best decisions homeowners can make is to consult with a local construction lending specialist to discuss their options and really understand the construction financing process before they start.

The Benefits of Motorized Shades and Blinds

Provided by Budget Blinds of the Lowcountry

Home automation is here to stay, and there’s no better place to put it to use than with your shades and blinds. Automated blinds offer a level of comfort, ease and efficiency that traditional blinds lack. With motorized shades and blinds, it’s easy to achieve a warm, inviting atmosphere any time of the day. Here are some of the benefits of smart blinds to help you decide if they are right for your home. SAFETY FIRST Regular window blinds require cords and strings to open and close. After long-term use, these cords often become a tangled mess and can pose a strangulation hazard to children and pets. Motorized blinds don’t require exposed cords. Some can even connect to a smart home automation system to automatically open if the fire alarm is triggered allowing first responders to see inside the home. CONVENIENCE Motorized blinds can

be opened and closed with the touch of a button. A remote control or smartphone app allows the user to adjust shades as needed or to set up a schedule, so they adjust automatically throughout the day.

your blinds and setting schedules or controlling functions remotely, smart blinds give the appearance that someone is home, which can help deter would-be burglars from taking a look.

ENERGY SAVINGS Window coverings are a proven way to reduce solar gain and prevent heat loss. Connecting these coverings to a smart home hub allows them to work with scenes to adjust based on exposure. Essentially, your blinds will close when it’s hot and sunny and raise when you want the light to make it comfortable in the home. Motorized blinds can also add a significant insulation value to your windows. Traditional roller and honeycomb blinds offer a higher R-value than double glazed windows.

PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE, FLOORS AND ART How often do you remember to adjust the blinds before leaving your home so that your favorite painting doesn’t get damaged by sunlight? The joy of home automation is being able to set a program and forget about it. Rugs, artwork and furniture can all be spared from the sun’s harsh rays without you having to be home to manually do the job. Home automation will continue to get smarter. If you want to explore the ease and comfort it can provide, automated shades and blinds is a fairly simple and efficient way to get started.

SECURITY One of the best benefits of any home automation system is the level of security it adds. By motorizing

Superior Services Brings All the Experts Under One Roof: Yours Provided by Superior Services Consider a common scenario: You’re remodeling and you’ll need plumbing, electrical, sheetrock, trim, and painting. You could start gathering vendors and pour your time into vendor management or you could call Dave Miller’s team of Superior experts and call it a very nice day.

HOME TIP

Saving money is really a byproduct of saving energy

If you are a member of an electric cooperative, you might already be aware of the energy saving programs available to you. In an initiative known as Beat the Peak, Palmetto Electric Cooperative and other South Carolina electric cooperatives are working hard to manage energy use during peak times. Peaks occur on the coldest winter mornings and hottest summer afternoons, when the demand for electricity, and the cost for it, is the highest. By keeping energy usage low during these peak times, the co-op can lower total power costs. Because electric cooperatives are not-for-profit companies, the savings are passed on to the co-op’s members. By joining Beat the Peak, members can save both energy and money in a variety of ways. First, voluntarily sign up for Beat the Peak alerts to be notified by email, text or voice message at times when you can help reduce electricity use by turning off lights, adjusting your thermostat and delaying the use of major appliances such as hot water heaters, washing machines and clothes dryers. More than 60,000 Beat

the Peak participants throughout the state of South Carolina have helped save a projected $848,000 in wholesale power costs. For years, Palmetto Electric Cooperative members have had access to H2O Select, an electric water heater program that saves members money each year in water heater rebates and incentives. By heating water when the demand for electricity is low and storing that thermal energy for later use, electric water heaters save members and the cooperative money. In a similar way, the Smart Thermostat program helps members save by allowing Palmetto Electric to adjust your thermostat during peak energy periods. After enrolling, members will receive a FREE smart thermostat with FREE standard installation and could be eligible for Smart Rewards bill credits. Smart thermostats are designed to ensure that your home is at a specific temperature when it needs to be and eliminates unnecessary HVAC usage. Smart thermostats are more accurate at measuring the

current indoor temperature and more efficient at raising or lowering it to your desired indoor temperature. They are Wi-Fi enabled and therefore, you can monitor and control them using a smartphone, tablet or computer – no matter where you are. When you install a smart thermostat, you can: • CONTROL: Conveniently adjust your home’s temperature from anywhere, anytime. Operate it from your mobile device, computer or tablet. • TRACK: View monthly energy reports that show usage. • SAVE: The thermostat adjusts when you’re not home. The thermostat also adjusts for a few degrees during peak periods. During peak control events, the thermostat’s temperature settings will be adjusted as needed, up to 4 degrees above or below your desired setting. *You will be notified prior to an upcoming peak event and will have the opportunity to opt-out if desired. By reducing your electricity use during peak times, you will be helping reduce costs for all Palmetto Electric members, and you could be eligible for Smart Rewards bill credits. Visit palmetto.coop or contact Parrish Neville, Palmetto Electric Marketing Manager, at 843-681-0071 or Kristin Keller, Palmetto Electric Marketing Representative, at 843-681-0075 for more information. *Complete terms and conditions can be found online at palmetto.coop.

Tips and Trends for Window Treatments

DESIGNER: LEIGH NUNNERY, ASID, PHOTOGRAPHER: CLAYTON GIRARD

Windows are more than the eyes of our home. Windows allow us to view the world, but they also must frame that view in an attractive, pleasing manner. Window treatments will be noticed each time you walk into a room, regardless of whether you look outdoors. So the question is where should you start when choosing window treatments. Walk through your home to focus on how your windows will function in each room. Where view is most desired you will want a treatment that will allow the view to shine, but still have the ability to control the privacy and lighting needs. Both shutters and blinds “tilt” to allow the view, but also can be easily closed for privacy in the evening. Draperies that provide a “frame” of your view, can also be closed and provide additional softness, color, and texture to a space. Most shade products are valued for their ability to fold or roll up during the day, and lowered for glare or privacy when needed. This is a category with many varied and sophisticated choices now. Roller shades and sun screen shades come in lots of fabrics and textures. Cellular are prized for their ability to fold up really small and practically “disappear” when raised. Many shades also have a top-down, bottom-up feature, to allow you to look over them, and still have some privacy at the same time. Woven woods come

in hundreds of patterns and textures, and are great for layering with draperies. Many are made of eco-friendly materials, such as rattan, grasses, and bamboo. Draperies, which provide elegance and add that finishing touch, can easily set the mood of the room or the style. Keep it light and airy here in the Low Country with cotton, linen, or sheer gauzy materials. Draperies can offer great light filtering or complete room darkening. A well-coordinated look can be accomplished by using matching or contrasting fabrics for custom pillows, throws, bedding, and table runners. Soft valances can be added to shades and blinds to soften the look and “pull in” the room’s décor. Sometimes that is all it takes to “finish off” a room that seems cold and bland. Just remember to keep these current trends in mind when choosing window dressings in the Low Country: Minimal is in. Lighten up with current colors such as neutrals, soft sea colors, cheerful tones, and charcoals (the new neutrals). Try texture. The use of fabric tapes to accent your

treatments is very popular. Both floral and geometric patterns are experiencing a revival. Draperies with wide stripes, contrasting hues, or color blocking are being shown in a big way. All in all, your windows, perhaps more than any other aspect of your home are a place to allow your taste and personality to shine!

HG_Savannah Surfaces.indd 2

Outdoor living is a big part of the Lowcountry, and many homeowners are looking for the ease of care that a porcelain paver provides. Impromptu gatherings on the patio, porch or around the pool are effortless with a porcelain paver. Whether the outdoor space is casual or sophisticated there is a porcelain paver option that is right for every home. The Benefits of Choosing a Porcelain Paver The look of natural stone, without the maintenance. With today’s advanced technology, porcelain pavers can replicate any natural stone, Bluestone, Travertine, Tabby, Limestone and more. Low maintenance with modern style. • Stain Resistant-Porcelain pavers do not require sealing and stains are easily removed from this solid surface. They are resistant to chemical spills, oil, and water.

5/3/22 10:37 PM

• Durable-Porcelain is scratch resistant and can withstand cold and heat. Dirt, moss growth and mold are not an issue. • Slip Resistant-Highly slip resistant making porcelain a great choice for pool decks and walkways. • Easy to Clean-Porcelain is a solid surface free of “pores” which makes it an easy paver to clean. When cleaning a porcelain paver all that is needed is a mild soap and water. • Weather Resistant-porcelain pavers are UV and fade resistant, perfect for patios and pool decks. Old World Tabby Porcelain Collection Savannah Surfaces paired with an Italian manufacturer

to design an exclusive porcelain paver collection. The artistry and detail of the Old World Tabby line coupled with Italy’s technology brought the product to life creating an affordable, low maintenance option for Lowcountry homeowners.

Cost-Efficient Heating for your Pool Provided by Year Round Pool

Many pool owners tell us that they really enjoy the experience of a warm pool, but the cost of heating a pool can be significant even with a highly efficient system like a Heat Pump Pool Heater (HPPH). Here are six methods that will help. Each pool environment is different, and while the value of each method is universal, they are not all universally applicable to a particular pool. 1 | Solar heating is essentially free (there are some small increases in the cost to pump the water through the large solar panels, but it is minimal). The downside of solar is that it rarely meets the needs for a full season of heating demand, or it fails to provide heat fast enough or when the sun isn’t shining. But when solar is available and you have the budget to purchase a solar system with a Heat Pump Pool Heater backup, you can have the best, most economical system available. 2 | If you have a Heat Pump Pool Heater (HPPH) system only, the time of day that you run your HPPH is a system operation parameter you should address. HPPH’s get their heat from the air. So, logically, the best time to run a HPPH is when the air temperature is at its warmest. As long as your filtration is running at the warmest time of the day,

your HPPH will operate at its optimum Coefficiency of Performance (COP). COP is the measure of energy output divided by energy input. 3 | And speaking of COP…the COP is the efficiency rating of the HPPH. As mentioned in item 2, this measure of efficiency changes as the air temperature changes. The unit is more efficient the warmer the air temperature. Another aspect of COP to consider the overall COP rating as applied to the individual model of HPPH you purchase. Not all HPPHs are created equal. If we do a comparison of HPPHs and assume all have the same heating capacity, or BTUh, you will find a variety of COP ratings available on the market. The higher the COP rating, the more efficient the HPPH will be. The percentage difference between one COP rating and another will equate to the percentage savings available between the lower and higher rated COP heater. This means you should buy the highest COP-rated unit your budget allows while making sure the model you select has the capacity, or BTUh, to meet your heating demand. Your Pool Professional can help you with this decision process. 4 | Controlling evaporation. Heat loss on any pool, heated by any means, is primarily driven by evaporation from the surface of the pool. Upwards

of 75% of heat loss is through this method. So controlling that evaporative loss is key to reducing heating cost. There are three types of blankets that can help control evaporation: Solid, Floating and Liquid. The Liquid blanket is easy to use, and is inexpensive, but also carries the lowest level of effectiveness. 5 | Wind at the surface of the pool creates ripples or small waves on the surface of the pool ultimately accelerating evaporation. So, creating a pool environment that is shielded from wind will greatly help reduce heating cost. 6 | The last method is the pool temperature set point. The warmer you heat your pool water, the more it will cost to keep it warm. Each degree rise in temperature can equate to an approximate 15-18% increase in operation cost. So, while an 88°F pool is nice and toasty warm, it will cost a lot more to maintain than a pool that is held at 85°F. There is nothing better than a warm pool. These are some tried and true ways to help keep that cost to a minimum. For more information about heat pumps, please call our Customer Service at 800.878.0998.

Invest in wellness with a Hot Tub Provided by Year Round Pool A high-quality hot tub can improve your life in ways you may not have considered before. Hot tubs bring families closer together while helping to connect with the world around us. Incorporating hot tub usage into your daily routine can also help improve your general wellbeing. Regular spa use might also reduce stress, ease pain, improve the quality of your sleep, and increase flexibility. IMPROVED RANGE OF MOTION As we age, we lose our range of motion. Through regular usage, your hot tub can help you restore lost flexibility and slow the natural stiffening that comes with age. The warm water of a spa creates hydrostatic pressure—the pressure caused by the weight of fluids—on the body. This reduces joint inflammation, which in turn aids mobility. RELIEF FROM ARTHRITIS SYMPTOMS Spending time in your hot tub may provide temporary relief from arthritic joint pain. In a controlled study examining the effects of spa therapy on patients with severe osteoarthritis, researchers found significant reduction in pain

after just two weeks. In fact, patients undergoing spa therapy experienced less pain than those undergoing drug therapy at the same time. Likewise, a study of patients with rheumatoid arthritis demonstrated that hydrotherapy reduced pain, tension, and joint tenderness. RELIEF FROM FIBROMYALGIA SYPTOMS Fibromyalgia is a disorder involving chronic pain and fatigue throughout the body, often resulting in disturbed sleep and an impaired ability to concentrate. It can cause disruptions at work and at home. A study of the effects of hydrotherapy on fibromyalgia patients showed marked benefits. Following a course of hydrotherapy treatment, patients reported improvements in physical functionality, sleep quality, and the ability to do their jobs, accompanied by a reduction in pain intensity, fatigue, stiffness, anxiety, and depression. RELIEF FROM LOWER BACK PAIN According to one estimate, 80% of all Americans will suffer from lower back pain at some point. It can make performing everyday activities a difficult and painful challenge. In multiple studies, people living with chronic back pain who underwent hydrotherapy treatment, either on its own or in combination with other treatments, saw a reduction in their symptoms. While these studies do indicate the positive effects of hydrotherapy, they do not replace the advice of a doctor. DECREASED ANXIETY AND STRESS Time spent in a hot tub encourages stress-free

relaxation. Before you leave for work in the morning, soaking in your spa for fifteen or twenty minutes can help you begin your day feeling rested and focused. At night, it can help you unwind and leave the stresses of the day behind you. Controlled studies have shown that the use of hydrotherapy can lead to an improved psychological and emotional state. BETTER SLEEP Lack of sleep can increase feelings of stress and anxiety reducing your ability to be productive. This can become a vicious cycle, as these same negative feelings can cause or aggravate many sleep disorders. Using your hot tub on a regular basis can break that cycle and help you get to sleep. EASES SORE MUSCLES The hot water and massage jets in a hot tub release tension and knead the toxins from your muscle fibers. Buoyancy takes the pressure off your legs, feet and back, helping you work out the knots. Regular soaks in your spa can improve your health and overall well-being. In order to fully experience these benefits without added stress, it’s important to invest in a quality, worry-free hot tub that you can enjoy for years to come. Whether you are looking to massage those aching muscles after a stressful day, just soak your aching bones or just spend relaxing time with loved ones…do yourself a favor and stop in to see the world number one selling Freshwater Salt spas at Year Round Pool.

Ready to Sell! Boost your home’s marketability with a few updates and a good realtor.

Are you ready to make the transition to a new home? Or at least take a few steps to get there? If so, you’ll need to think about selling your current property, and you’re probably hoping to get the best price possible. Renovations can be a great value booster. The right changes appeal to buyers and help you make a great return on your investment. Here are four ways to renovate before selling. FRESH PAINT JOB: A new coat of paint is one of the most affordable renovations — and you can even do it yourself. Uplifting colors, like taupe or soft teal, can make a room look brighter. The more neutral the area, the easier it is for buyers to picture themselves living there.

COUNTERTOPS AND LIGHT FIXTURES: If you want to make your home look new without undergoing a full remodel, updating the countertops and light fixtures can work wonders. Similar to paint colors, it’s best to stick with simple styles. BREAK-EVEN REMODEL: Did you know the kitchen and bathrooms are the most important parts of the house? To interest buyers, consider a breakeven remodel in these lived-in spaces. If the cabinets and floors are outdated, try low-cost upgrades (like new hardware) so the rooms look more modern.

out the latest trends in home design. Choosing improvements based on what’s popular can help your house stand out to buyers — both online and in person. Preparing your home to sell is easier with an experienced professional in your corner. To learn more about value-adding renovations, selling your property or to start looking for a new property in Beaufort County, get in touch with a local Realtor who understands the market.

The facts on Property Management Hilton Head’s top vacation rental expert tells us what clients want to know most

hether you are a prospective owner looking for a property management company or a current owner with a property you are ready to place on the rental market, you probably have lots of questions. Beach Properties of Hilton Head gave us a few of their most commonly asked questions to help give you a better understanding of the process.

maintenance, and managing logistics like reservations, payments, check-in and check-out, and housekeeping. The company will also manage maintenance technicians for regular maintenance, improvements, and emergencies. Attending to the small details gives homeowners peace of mind, knowing their property is being taken care of and generating the most revenue possible in the Hilton Head vacation rental market.

What can a Property Management Company do for me?

What is the cost for these services?

Owning a vacation rental property sounds like a great idea until you, the owner, realize all of the details that must be attended to in order for it to be successful. A property rental company will manage every aspect of keeping your vacation rental booked and ready for guests and owners to enjoy. Their primary goal is to enable you to maximize revenue from your rental without having to do any of the work involved with managing it. That means taking photos, writing descriptions, marketing your vacation rental property, working with potential guests to make bookings, dispatching emergency

National commission rates for property manager services average roughly 35% and range as low as 20% and as high as 60% depending on the type of home and market. Most vacation rental companies, like Beach Properties of Hilton Head have two static costs; the commission and the cleaning cost. The commission will depend on several factors such as size, number of bedrooms, location, etc. We provide full-service management without cutting any corners, and we may offer new owners, during limited time promotions, lower commissions for their first year. These promotions allow the company a chance to prove our quality and service excellence to you–confident that you’ll continue–but if you decide not to, there are no strings attached.

What am I required to have in my home? Guests expect a fully-functioning home when they arrive complete with furniture, appliances, cookware, tableware, internet, TV, etc. as well as a standard supply of bed linens, bath and hand towels, and typical consumables like light-bulbs and batteries. A vacation rental company will work with you to make sure that you have everything in place. They may even utilize inventory

Feature_Beach PropertiesV2.indd 2

forms to ensure you have the right quantity of each item. Beach Properties does require internet and phone connections in every home. Nicely decorated homes tend to achieve more bookings, and we always encourage owners to have a home that shows well. A good test of whether or not you need to have something in your rental is to put yourself in a guest’s shoes. If you were to stay somewhere for a week or so, what would you expect to have in that rental home?

When and how do I get paid as an owner? With Beach Properties, owners can expect to receive their rental income monthly along with a statement. Payments are made through automatic direct deposit to your bank account. You can view an electronic version of your statement once we post it in the website’s owner area. This statement and deposit will cover all guests that check-out during that month. Your statement will also include a breakdown of expenses and maintenance costs, including any invoices from your preferred outside vendors.

How do I get started? Getting started with Beach Properties is easy and risk-free. We can activate homes that are existing vacation rentals, usually within a couple of business days. Our contract has no start-up fees. Activation includes taking new photos, putting together detailed listings, setting a rate structure, creating advertising marketing on the internet channels, and beginning to accept reservations—all in as little as a few days! Whatever needs to be done, a Beach Properties representative will work with you every step of the way.
