Ken & Clay Oliver Ken Oliver was a tennis pro in 1977 working for his Australian idol and legend, Rod Laver, at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center. It was on these very courts where Ken taught agents’ wives that he was first introduced to sales. He was asked to join Dunes Marketing Group (now Dunes Real Estate “DRE”) shortly thereafter. Being a natural leader and patient listener, Ken poured himself into learning the intricacies of the business.

The result? A 40-year career as one of the island’s foremost Realtors and consistently DRE’s top producer and listing agent.

In celebrating his 40th anniversary with the company, Ken continues to base his efforts on two guiding principles: (1) to provide exemplary service to clients and (2) to take exemplary care of his four children and wife Susie.

Today these same principles come full circle as Ken’s son Clay approaches his 1st year anniversary with DRE. A Clemson graduate with a concentration in marketing and finance, Clay has brought a youthful presence to The Ken Oliver Team. Dedication and discipline compliment Clay’s outgoing persona and ready smile, strengthening every aspect of what’s already a trusted, knowledgeable approach to meeting client’s needs.

Clay has already experienced substantial success as he continues to build on Ken’s strengths while adding his own enthusiasm and passion to this exciting industry. Together, this dynamic duo is sure to meet the high expectations their loyal clients and friends deserve.

Let The Ken Oliver Team put their efforts and energy to work for you today!

Coastal Real Estate Company Team

Coastal Real Estate Company Glenn Davis & his team of expert Realtors may just be the perfect blend of old school hospitality and new school technology.

First receiving his Brokers license in 1986, he has seen the real estate market go through change after change after change.

He’s worked in several different capacities throughout the industry, giving him a unique perspective on the many factors that affect home sales and home values.

And his approach to his clients carries that unmistakable old-school commitment.

“My word is my bond, and whether it’s a $100,000 fixer-upper or a $10 million estate, I treat everyone the same,” he said.

That treatment means a tenacious approach that always gives his clients the five-star experience.

But at the same time, he is decidedly new school technology. One of the early pioneers of this new-fangled “Internet,” he was on real estate’s digital frontier, founding global internet marketing company Openvision. com in 1994. In an era when your typical

real estate executive didn’t own a home computer, he was building the very first websites for communities, real estate firms, vacation rental companies and public figures all across the world (including Hilton head Plantation, Sea Pines, ResortQuest, Ernie Els, Wilson Sporting Goods, Nelson Mandela and more). And he’s stayed on the leading edge of the latest breakthroughs as this technology has revolutionized real estate.

As a result, he has gained a thorough knowledge of the many opportunities the internet presents for those buying and selling a home. His extensive knowledge of SEO and targeted online marketing means that when you list a home, it is seen by a global audience of savvy buyers looking to make their home on Hilton Head, Bluffton and the surrounding area.

Old School Hospitality and New School Technology. When you combine those two elements, you have Glenn Davis & his Team of Expert Realtors on your side, your onesource real estate solutions provider.

Real Estate Defined

BY KERRY WESTERLAND

E

very industry has its own jargon, and real estate is no different. It can all seem like a confusing word salad for those new to the business. We’ve compiled a list of common terms you’re likely to encounter.

Buyer’s agent As close to a local realtor as it gets.

DREW BUTLER As a second generation Lowcountry realtor with over three decades of selling real estate in the area, Drew has the experience for those looking for a veteran to navigate their real estate needs.

Growing up on Hilton Head, playing college golf in Florida and working on his MBA before going to work for Jack Nicklaus Club Management gave Drew a unique set of tools to help his clients with what is typically one of the largest assets we own. His intimate knowledge of the area, business background, local connections and 3 assistants, along with the strength of Charter One Realty, has helped him successfully serve and represent his clients, many of whom are now friends and repeat customers.

A father of five and husband to Erin, Drew’s commitment to his family, friends and clients has established him as one of our area’s top names in real estate and a top producer.

This is the agent who represents the buyer in the home-buying process. On the other side is the listing agent, who represents the seller.

Closing costs

In addition to the final price of a home, there are closing costs, which will typically make up about two to five percent of the purchase price, not including the down payment. Examples of closing costs include loan processing costs, title insurance, and excise tax.

Comparative market analysis

Comparative market analysis (CMA) is a report on comparable homes in the area that is used to derive an accurate value for the home in question.

Contingencies

This term refers to conditions that have to be met in order for the purchase of a home to be finalized. For example, there may be contingencies that the loan must be approved or the appraised value must be near the final sale price.

Dual agency

Dual agency is when one agent represents both sides, rather than having both a buyer’s agent and a listing agent.

Listing

A listing is essentially a home that is for sale. The term gets its name from the fact that these homes are often “listed” on a website or in a publication.
