Comments on Planned Communities
I am looking to relocate to Durham NC and as I browse through your site I see a community which is title Planned Community. Would you have a website or name that I maybe able to pull up information in reference to housing either sell or rental property?
Thanks
Normajean
Hi Normajean,
We don't sell any real estate, so I can be totally unbiased in recommending
places that I feel would best fit what people are looking for!
My "Ultimate Guide", which I've been told
is worth it's weight in gold, is a complete Relocation Guide to the Carolinas.
If you look back to last week in my blog The Carolina Report, you'll find a lengthy
post all about Durham.

My significant other and I are looking to move to north carolina, he loves the greenville area. I've never been to NC and i'm nervous I know nothing so i'm doing some intense research.. can I get a crash course, on the basic living coast, jobs, entertainment, cultural dynamic, taxes, housing and etc? THX!!!
If you want the real story and a crash course on the Carolinas, get a copy of my "Ultimate Guide".
It's just been updated with the info from the 2010 Census!
I love Greenville, but in south Carolina.

We are thinking about relocating to the Charlotte, NC area. Do you have any thoughts on Rock Hill, SC ? Or, should we stick in North Carolina?
Thanks,
Mark
Hi Mark,
The answer to your question is it really depends on what's important to you.
Each area has different qualities, services, and lifestyle.
Overall, I love the Charlotte area, especially all the wonderful small towns
outside Charlotte.
However if you go south of Charlotte to Rock Hill, Fort Mill, and Indian Land,
you're in SC where the cost of living is a bit cheaper.

Bob,
Considering relocating to the Charleston area of South Carolina for a new job. We have been looking in the Goose Creek area and want to enroll 0ur nine year old daughter in a private Christian School.
Any ideas or thoughts you could share on the location we are looking at.
Hi Don,
Get a copy of our South Carolina Guide, go to my Video Library and watch the videos
on Charleston and the surrounding areas, then call me to pinpoint specific areas which would be good for you.
