Daniel Bates – A Real Local Agent With Real Local Knowledge

April 6th, 2007 Buyers, Sellers 7 Comments

My name is Daniel Bates and I started this website because I wanted to give people thinking about moving to McClellanville a better understanding of what the area is like. McClellanville is not like anywhere else in the world that I have encountered. Life here is slower and more relaxed. It’s not for everyone, and I’m not afraid to say that, because some people can’t adjust to “less is more” type of lifestyle here. Those people that do enjoy McClellanville and choose to move here will tell you that they wouldn’t live anywhere else in the world. I also hope that people who are currently living here, whether it be life-long residents or people that have recently moved, enjoy the information presented in this blog.

I am a native of McClellanville. As a child, I grew up in Silver Hill and Skipper’s Point, playing in the woods and Jeremy Creek. I attended Archibald Rutledge Academy from Kindergarten to 12th grade. I went to Appalachian State University and served as a police officer in Rock Hill, SC for four years. Law Enforcement was an incredibly rewarding experience, but when the opportunity became available for me to move back to the Lowcountry and work for the real estate company my grandfather founded, I jumped at it.

Real estate has always been in my blood and I love the satisfaction I get when helping someone else find a home in the town I love so dearly. I’m married and have one boy and I enjoy nature, fishing, the beach, and writing.

I am the owner and Broker-in-Charge of MCVL Realty, which offers full real estate sales and rental management services.  I’d tell you that I’m trustworthy, but Id rather prove it to you. My time in law enforcement has given me a calm, level-headed approach to real estate. I am a family-man and a Christian and it wasn’t too long ago that I bought my first home, so I can relate to all those worries and concerns. I promise to make your best interest my primary concern.

I specialize in the McClellanville and Awendaw markets. This area, lying between Georgetown and Mt. Pleasant, SC is mostly rural and surrounded by Federally protected forest and coastal region, which makes it a different kind of market than anywhere else. If you are considering buying or selling a home in the McClellanville or Awendaw area, be sure you have a local Realtor to help you in the process. I hope you enjoy this site and when the time comes that you want to buy or sell you home, please feel free to give me a call, Sincerely Daniel Bates.
