"The second annual DeBordieu Club Celebrity Pro-Am on Nov. 7-8 in Georgetown is sold out at 32 foursome teams.
Current or former touring pros scheduled to take part include Charles Warren, Tommy Gainey, Dillard Pruitt, Billy Andrade, Jay Haas Jr. and Tommy Biershenk.
Three-time world long drive champion Bobby Wilson, local long drive competitor Tom Garber and touring pros with area ties including Zack Byrd, Michael Maness, Sam Lyons and Lauren Hunt have also been recruited to participate.
Bill Haas and Jay Haas had agreed to participate but both will be at the Australian Open at the request of U.S. Presidents Cup Captain Fred Couples.

Jay is Couples’ assistant, while Bill made the team after winning the FedEx Cub Championship.

“It’s good for the Haas’, congratulations to them,” said DeBordieu head pro and tournament director Shawn Roper. “We feel certain they’ll be participating in the event in the future. We just have to do a better job of scheduling so they don’t have conflicts.
“We’ll still have a very solid field of professionals.”
The tournament will benefit the South Carolina Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and is sponsored by Adams Golf. It is not open to spectators. The entry fee was between $250 and $500 per player."

"...buyers should jump! ~ WSJ

As stated by KCM Crew this morning: "Bottom Line, when the iconic financial newspaper (WSJ) and the iconic financial magazine (Forbes) say that it now makes financial sense to purchase a house, perhaps it's time to buy a home." ~ KCM

To read the article, CLICK HERE.

Some of the highlights include:

“Now could be the best time in history to buy a home.” ~ MarketWatch.com (the on-line blog for WSJ

It's an excellent time to buy a house, either to live in for the long term or for investment income…Hou

ses aren’t the magic wealth creators they were made out to be during the bubble. But when prices are low, loans are cheap and plump investment yields are scarce, buyers should jump.” ~ WSJ

“The previous declines in house prices and the more recent drop in mortgage rates to record lows have created an unusual situation in which the median monthly mortgage payment is more or less the same as the median rental payment.” ~ Capital Ecomomics (Forbes)

I've had the good fortune of working with some very savvy buyers in the past 6 months, and they all agree. Whether you're looking for a permanent residence or second home, when you

consider the inventory, the interest rates, and the seller motivation, there has never been a better time.

AFFLUENT ABODES Writer visits DeBordieu
Affluent Abodes is a blog about Luxury Real Estate from all over the world. When you read it, you would think the writer is a sophisticated real estate expert with years of experience in the business.
The writer is a teenager.
But Cole Perkins is not just any ordinary

teenager. At just 14 years old, AFFLUENT ABODES is Cole’s second Luxury Real Estate blog.

I first met Cole when I saw his interview with Chris Smith (formerly of Tech Savvy Agent and currently the Chief Evangelist for Inman News). I immediately sent him two of my most luxurious listings, which he included on his 1st blog, LAVISH PROPERTIES. A few months later, Cole and his family stopped by on their way from Myrtle Beach to Charleston, SC. I had the opportunity to meet Cole’s parents and sisters and give them a little tour of DeBordieu.
This week, the Perkins family rented a house in DeBordieu, and Cole offered to intern with me. Cole got some good experience last summer working with a luxury general brokerage firm in New York City. I wanted to give him a taste of how an onsite real estate company works to sell a specific amenity community like DeBordieu. In turn, he offered to share with me some of what he has learned about how technology could improve my business.
I told him my goal was to have everyone looking for real estate on the coast of South Carolina to know that Troi Kaz specialized in DeBordieu and Pawleys Island, and that I particularly wanted to offer an alternative to folks who already knew about places like Kiawah a

nd Hilton Head Island, but perhaps had never heard of DeBordieu.
His first suggestion to me was to change the name of my Twitter profile from DeBordieuSC to Coastal_SC, which I did. Within 48 hours, I had 30 new followers! We’ve been tossing around a few other changes and projects I intend to implement over the next few months, so be on the lookout.

Cole has grown up with technology and actually attends Cyber School which is a combination of home school and public school. He says starting a blog was pretty easy for him considering he has 8 computers in his house! While most teenagers spend their time playing video games, Cole prefers to browse the web for high end real estate on sites like Realtor.com and tries to write a post a day.
Cole Perkins is an amazing young man for whom I have the greatest respect. He’s really cute and fun too! Visit his blog at:http://www.affluentabodes.blogspot.com/
By the way, the pictures on this page are of the two luxury properties that Cole featured in his blog a while back. For more information about either of them, contact me at TroiKaz@DeBordieu.com
