How does Brian value an Isle of Palms home?

Brian Beatty values an Isle of Palms home by walking the property and comparing it against recent closings that share its flood zone, elevation certificate and distance to the beach, rather than running an address through an automated model. Rental history and short-term rental eligibility also factor into island pricing in a way they would not on the mainland. The result is a written comparison sellers can review line by line, not a single unexplained number.
