- Before you visit or even move to Charleston,
you're gonna need to do your research.
That's why I've compiled a list of my top six websites
and apps for all things Charleston
that you can get right on your phone.
Be sure to stick around for number one
because I send that website to all of my clients.
(upbeat music)
What's up, I'm Bill Olsen with ERA Wilder Realty,
and welcome to my video on the top six websites
and apps for anything you could need to know
about Charleston and the surrounding areas.
I'm a local realtor,
and I send these websites to all of my clients
so that they can get a feel for what it's like to live here,
and they've got great resources
while they're looking for their new home.
So let's get right into it.
Number six, we're gonna get this one out of the way,
and it's more than just a shameless plug.
It is my website which is BillOlsonRealtor.com.
If you're moving here,
you're gonna need to find a place to live.
And my website is up to date on everything
that is currently for sale in the market.
And better yet, one click of a button
and it's gonna send a message to me
so that I can send you more information
on any house that you want.
Number five is CCSDschools.com.
Now this is the Charleston County School District's website.
And if you have kids or you're thinking about having kids,
what school district you're in
or what school you're zoned for can be
an important part of the home buying process.
The Charleston County School District's website
is a great resource to know which neighborhoods
are zoned for which schools,
more information on those schools,
as well as information on Montessori, charter,
and magnet schools in the area.
Number four is CCPRC.com.
That is the Charleston County
Parks and Recreation Commission.
If you love the outdoors,
then you're gonna love the Charleston County Park System.
With over a dozen parks,
there is something for everyone
and always a new place to explore.
Their website has up-to date-information
on closings, events,
and be sure to pick up that annual park pass
so that you have free entry into each park.
Number three is the Historic Charleston Foundation's app.
With this app you'll have access to photos, oral histories,
maps, videos, and even audio guided tours
of the Aiken-Rhett house and the Nathaniel Russell House,
two historic mansion home museums in downtown Charleston.
If you love history
and everything that Charleston
has to offer with its history,
this is the app for you.
Number two is CharlestonSC.gov.
If it's in Charleston,
it's most likely on this website.
With references for everything from government,
business, residents, and visitors,
this is a great one-stop shop for all things Charleston.
And here we are,
We've made it to my number one website
that I send every single one of my clients
that are asking about the area.
And that is CharlestonCommunityGuide.com.
On this website you'll learn
about all the different areas of Charleston,
as well as the neighboring counties
of Berkeley and Dorchester.
This is truly a great resource to help you
narrow down the different areas
that you wanna call home next whether it be Somerville,
Hanahan, John's Island, or Mount Pleasant,
or anywhere in between.
For more information or links to these websites,
I'm gonna toss the links below in the description.
