Does local Folly Beach knowledge really matter?

Local knowledge on Folly Beach matters because flood zones, rental restrictions, and even parking rules can differ from one block to the next on an island this small, details a metro-wide agent easily misses. An agent who works Folly Beach regularly knows which streets flood in a heavy rain and which associations restrict short-term rentals, information that changes what a buyer should offer. Brian Beatty prices the street, not the island average, which is exactly where that local knowledge pays off.
