Overview
Living in Georgetown
Georgetown is the third-oldest city in South Carolina, laid out in 1729 where the Waccamaw, Pee Dee, Black, Sampit and Great Pee Dee rivers meet Winyah Bay. Front Street, the Harborwalk and a large historic district give the city a character nothing else on the Grand Strand has. [Zach: add your own perspective.]
The market spans antebellum and Victorian homes downtown, established neighborhoods like Maryville, golf and marina living at Wedgefield Plantation, deep-water property on Winyah Bay, and the private oceanfront of DeBordieu Colony to the north. [verify current ranges.]
Buyers come for water access, history and value relative to the beach markets north of here. Charleston is roughly [verify] minutes south and Myrtle Beach International Airport roughly [verify] north.

For sellers
Selling in Georgetown
Georgetown sellers should expect scrutiny of age, systems and renovation history — and, downtown, of historic district requirements for exterior work. Documentation of past permits and approvals shortens negotiations. [verify with the City of Georgetown.]
On the water, dock permits, depth and bay exposure drive price. Flood zone, elevation certificates and current insurance premiums belong in the listing file from day one.
