In 1976 The
Free Guide to Hilton Head was launched by Ned McNair. At that time Sea
Pines Real Estate Company was by far the largest real estate company on
the island, while Palmetto Dunes, Port Royal, Hilton Head Plantation,
Shipyard and three small real estate companies provided the balance in
real estate sales. During that year additional real estate companies came
on the scene to challenge Sea Pines. The market opened up as these companies
competed for listings and buyers. This set the stage for an independent
real estate publication where the buyer could shop all the available products
without being under the control of one company, giving the buyer wider
choices based on more comprehensive information.
In 1982
the name of the real estate publication was changed to Island Real Estate
Magazine with the first color cover featuring an aerial shot of Harbour
Town’s 18th taken by renowned island photographer Bill Cornelia.
Currently
Island Real Estate Magazine is published under the corporate name of Down
South Publishers and the products have expanded to include LowCountry
Home Magazine, Fishing Hilton Head and the LowCountry, The Official Map
of Hilton Head Island, The Official Map of Bluffton, a web site and several
other brochures and newsletters. The staff has grown to eight full time
staff and three part-time staff members. Circulation now averages 27,000
per month with distribution point from the southern tip of Hilton Head
Island to Savannah and Beaufort.

the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: "I
am the first and I am the last, and there is no God beside Me." Isaiah
44:6
And Thomas

Hear O Israel,

all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
