Canadians Read About Hilton Head Island
In 2010 I wrote a blog post entitled Canadians Love Hilton Head Island about why Hilton Head Island is a great place for Canadians to vacation and own real estate. Canadians buy more Hilton Head Real Estate than any other foreign nationals and I was hoping that Canadians would read the blog and come on down to Hilton Head Island. Hilton Head has much to offer Canadians who vacation in winter when Hilton Head Island has off-season discounted prices on accommodations. The Island is not busy in winter and golf prices are low. Of special interest for Canadians is that Hilton Head Island has a branch of Royal Bank of Canada, coincidentally the new sponsor of the Heritage, the PGA golf tournament on Hilton Head Island. Having an RBC an make it easier for Canadians to get loans to buy homes on Hilton Head Island than getting loans from an American bank.
Toronto Star financial writer Tony Wong read my blog. He called to ask about the Hilton Head real estate market and his story was published on June 3, 2011. It highlights the opportunities for Canadian vacationers and real estate buyers on Hilton Head and elsewhere in the Carolinas, areas that Canadians do not know as well as Florida. It was great meeting Tony and I am glad to be part of his story.
