There is truly no place like DeBordieu. Come see for yourself.
Belly up to the Bar
Many DeBordieu residents enjoy taking a break from the popular Ocean Front Beach Club, and entertain their neighbors and friends at home.
Wet or dry, having a bar makes it easy!
The pictures of bars on this page are found in homes currently on the
market at DeBordieu.
While some folks elect to locate the bar in the kitchen, all of these owners have dedicated spaces in their homes for the bar.
Some are located in great rooms, and libraries, while others have their own special room.
Wet bars work in traditional and contemporary homes.
Some incorporate open shelving while others prefer cabinetry.
Many of these wet bars a
lso benefit from having ice makers, wine refrigerators, and in this case, an ocean view!
Pass-through wet bars like this one allow lots of engagement with guests while mixing cocktails.
Whether you choose to enjoy entertaining out at the club, or in your home, DeBordieu is a wonderful place to do so.

First Closing – Touched by an Angel
My first DeBordieu closing of 2013 went off without a hitch, for which I am so very grateful! It was as if there was an angel involved!
The seller ended up with what he wanted, which was to move the house and move on, and the buyers ended up with a great home, perfect for their family, at a price significantly under appraised value.
We’re seeing that a good bit lately. Buyers are realizing that even though properties at DeBordieu do not show up as foreclosures or short sales, sometimes they can be bought for prices that would equate to a distressed property, but they not marketed as such. Because of the financial clout of many of our sellers, they are still in excellent standing with their lending institutions, and want to stay that way. Some of them that bought at the height of the market, who now have a need to sell, have had to actually bring money to the closing table.
As the coastal luxury real estate market continues to bump along the bottom, the first stage of recovery is definitely here, ….. the reduction of inventory. As we continue to whittle down DeBordieu’s inventory of homes, lots and villas, and deplete the supply, prices will start to rise again. That whittling down is beginning to happen. In fact, at this writing, I have offers flying around on 6 of my listings! Needless to say, I’ve been a busy girl.
So if you’re looking for a good deal, don’t just look for foreclosures and short sales. Find the property you want and make an offer! The owners of the properties on this page have all encouraged me to tell buyers to BRING AN OFFER! Click the picture to be taken to information about the property. There are others….. let me know what you are looking for, and I’ll hook you up!
Back to the closing…… as demoralizing as it was for my seller
Back to the closing…. as demoralizing as it was for my seller lose money on this transaction, it was heartwarming to see the buyers secure a great home for their precious family. For a closing gift, I gave them a family photo session with acclaimed photographer Gail Healey of Exposures Photography, and painted a picture of an angel for their precious 3-yr-old daughter’s new room. I signed it “Troily” because that’s what she calls me. I’m not used to getting closing gifts from my clients, but these folks gave me a beautiful flower arrangement, and a gift certificate to get my hair done with Stella Notoro and the Island Day Spa! How about that!!!!! (Perhaps they were hinting…. I AM getting a bit grey.)
Many thanks to Sean T. Phelan and his team for a smooth closing, Lisa Hutto for handling the insurance, and SunTrust bank for the ultra-cool 100% financing for physicians. (If you’re a doctor reading this, give me a call and I’ll hook you up there too.)
There has never been a better time to consider a purchase at DeBordieu.

These people are CRAZY!
Every Christmas Day, at 1:00, the DeBordieu Polar Bear Club takes their traditional dip in the ocean.
The crowd was even bigger this year than last.
They met at the beach access at the south end of DeBordieu, and ran into the ocean like crazy people.
It helped that a few warming libations were consumed by the adult participants before the big dip. And ya know, it never really gets very cold here in South Carolina. Perhaps I should join them next year? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
