Media Services, a publishing company in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and a pioneer in bringing together buyers and sellers through the World Wide Web, continues to offer its real estate clients services that produce valuable leads and, eventually, sales.

Typically, the people searching on the Internet want additional help.” Te Brittons definitely wanted help and certainly welcomed the call from Plastow. “We were absolutely thrilled when Jeanne called. We were about to contact an agent anyway. Te way it turned out was the most convenient method possible,” Ashley said.
