President’s Letter
National Survey on Housing and Homeownership
I
by Mike Lowman, HBASC president
opened the paper a few weeks ago, relishing the Gamecock’s second straight national
title in baseball, when I noticed an op-ed that suggested that the government end tax
incentives for homeowners. It went on to state that some policymakers even suggest
that homeownership and housing choice should no longer be national priorities. This is in conflict
to what I have always held dear, and thanks to a recent NAHB national survey, also in conflict of
the beliefs of most Americans.
President HBA of South Carolina
The survey makes it clear that owning a home is still very much a part of the American Dream.
Americans believe that homeownership is the single best investment for middle class families
and helps provide for their retirement and their children’s education. They also believe that a strong housing industry
means more jobs and more money in our communities.
Mike Lowman
Key Survey Results
• 75% of voters say that owning a home is the best long-term investment they can make.
• 73% of voters who do not currently own a home say it is a goal of theirs to eventually buy a home.
• 71% of voters oppose proposals to eliminate the mortgage interest deduction, and 63% oppose proposals to reduce it.
The majority also oppose eliminating the deduction for interest paid on home equity loans, eliminating the deduction
for interest paid on a second home, limiting the deduction for those earning over $250,000 per year, or limiting the
deduction for home owners with mortgages over $500,000.
• 95% of homeowners say they are happy with their decision to own a home, and believe that owning their own home
is important.

candidates seeking election across the

members, which resulted in a 97%

out for donations to support the S.C.
Builders PAC Silent Auction. Those listed
in the last column donated a billboard, a
BMW x6 weekend rental, kitchen and
bathroom faucets, gift certificates, a case
of Jack Daniels, golf trips and hand

to those donations, we raised thousands

will use your donations to the silent

consistently act as a barrier to our
industry, especially those looking to be
elected in the 2012 Senate races.

two of our bills and continues to stall
them so they cannot come to a vote.

President’s Letter
Continued from page 4
• A majority of voters (57%) across party lines say they would be less likely to support a candidate for Congress who wanted to
eliminate the home mortgage interest deduction.
• The biggest barrier for those who want to own a home is money for a down payment and closing costs.
The survey has also demonstrated that there would be a hostile voter reaction to any attempt to end government tax incentives
for homeowners. In fact, 73% of all voters thought that homeowner tax incentives should be continued, including 71% of
Republicans, 68% of independents, 79% of Democrats, and even 68% of those who support the tea party movement. When asked
about requiring a 20% down payment to purchase a home, respondents split evenly, with 49% supporting such a threshold and
49% opposing it. But among those most likely to be affected, mortgage holders and renters ages 18 to 54, opposition was strong,
with 58% of younger mortgage holders and 59% of younger renters opposed to adding that hurdle to buying a home.” I believe
that the results clearly state that Americans, of all political leanings, want to own their own home. I’m glad that my core beliefs
remain true and the American Dream is alive and well. SCBJ

SC Housing Hall of Fame Inducts Two New Members

Tom Markovich (left) and Rep. William E. “Bill” Sandifer (right).
he South Carolina Housing Hall of Fame trustees
inducted Representative William E. “Bill” Sandifer and
John Templeton into the prestigious honor society
recently for their work in and support of South Carolina’s home
building industry. Both men were presented the trademark
medallion and plaque during a ceremony on July 14 at the Myrtle
Beach Marriott Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes.
“We couldn’t have asked for two better nominees than
Representative Bill Sandifer and Mr. John Templeton because
of their unwavering efforts to protect home builders and the
American dream of homeownership,” said Kenneth E.
Ormand, Jr., chairman of the S.C. Housing Hall of Fame
Trustees. “The South Carolina home building industry has
been fortunate to have these two champions working for the
benefit of our citizens.”
Representative Bill Sandifer is one strong champion of housing
who has had a remarkable affect on the housing industry. He
recognizes the impact which the housing industry has on the
economy and has worked tirelessly to protect it. Rep. Sandifer’s
efforts have been instrumental in keeping home prices affordable
so that all South Carolinians will have a chance to realize the
American Dream of home ownership!
John Templeton has had a long career in developing quality
housing opportunities, which has added to the quality of life for
a large number of S.C. families. His professional career led to his
passion to advocate for property rights and affordable housing
and his founding of the S.C. Landowners Association. Mr.
Templeton has been a leader in the effort to preserve and to even
restore the right of South Carolinians and people around the
country to control their own property. His efforts have been
instrumental in shaping and making successful what is likely the
most significant property rights movement in the nation.
“Without the concern and actions of these two
personalities, our industry would not have been able to
weather the recent economic storm and would not have been
able to maintain the level of strength which it has today,”
said Ormand. “I congratulate the accomplishments of Mr.
Templeton and Rep. Sandifer and I welcome them into the
S.C. Housing Hall of Fame.”
Rep. Sandifer and Templeton accepted their nominations with
standing ovations by the crowd of more 150 home builders'
association members and guests.

Government Affairs
T
Legislative Gains in Difficult Year
by Julian Barton, director of government affairs
he 2011 session of the SC General Assembly will be
remembered for many things – long, disjointed,
contentious, confrontational and moderately
successful. It just depends on your prospective! Legislators
addressed a number of topics from tort reform and
redistricting to voter ID and school funding.
However, there were two major issues that permeated the
2011 session: the state budget and redistricting. There were no
other issues that consumed as much time and energy. The
debate began last fall, lasted all year, and ended up being
resolved at the very, very end of the legislative session. They
came very close to not passing a state budget and had to come
back in late July to work out a congressional redistricting plan
— location of the new 7th SC Congressional District.
The “no holes barred” street fight between the various
political segments of the General Assembly sucked the air out
of the legislature. Without the Governor’s participation, even
less would have been accomplished.
Despite all the political drama, a surprising number of bills
were passed this session that will have a positive impact on
the home building industry, reduce regulatory/legal barriers
for home builders, keep homes affordable in South Carolina.
Construction Supreme Court Case Reversed
In the continuing saga of Crossmann Communities vs.
Harleysville Mutual Insurance, Governor Nikki Haley signed
the bill (S. 431) into law. This ensured that the legislation was
final prior to the SC Supreme Court’s rehearing of the
Crossmann case scheduled in late May.
In short, the bill returns the construction industry essentially
to where it was prior to the Crossmann decision last January.
First, it makes it crystal clear what an “occurrence” – the
trigger for insurance coverage - is in regard to a construction
general liability insurance policy. Secondly, it applies these
coverage decisions retroactively.
Builders in litigation will not have to fear that their
insurance company will walk out the door leaving them fully
exposed, as a result of the Crossmann case. This bill reduces
the risk of building in our state, which is good for the building
industry, property owners and economic development. It was
a major victory for our industry, and it was accomplished in a
very short period of time!
The next chapter in the saga will be judicial review. Going
forward, the law is very clear; however, it is unclear whether
the SC Supreme Court will reverse its decision on the
Crossmann case. The Court has yet to report its findings from
the May 23 rehearing. There is also a pending legal action by
Harleysville Mutual Insurance that challenges the retroactivity
provisions in court. However, the courts now have a clear
understanding of how the General Assembly expects the
construction law to be interpreted.
Tort Reform Expanded
During the last week of the session, Governor Haley signed
the tort reform bill (H. 3375), which includes:
1. A cap on punitive damages modeled after the State of
Florida's financial cap.
10
South Carolina Builder Journal • 2011 • www.hbaofsc.com
2. An appeal bond cap.
3. A tightening of the statute of repose for construction
cases. 4. Requires the Attorney General to approve civil
actions by circuit solicitors.
5. Requires disclosure of insurance policy limits for
personal auto policies in accident cases.
The bill builds on the tort reform bill the HBA helped pass in
2005 and reduces the litigious environment in our state. As a
result, South Carolina is now competitive with its neighboring
southern states in regards to its litigation environment, and its
attractiveness for new businesses. This will help attract 21st
century businesses to our state!
For the building industry, the biggest positive in the bill was
the tightening of the statute of repose. Trial attorneys can no
longer use a simple building code violation to exempt builders
from the statute of repose protections.
Unemployment Insurance Premium Relief
The Governor signed the unemployment insurance bill (H.
3762) into law. The bill includes (1) a reduction in state benefit
weeks from 26 to 20 and restriction of benefits for seasonal
workers, and (2) it makes other minor technical corrections.
Additionally, there is $146 million (state money) in the
2011-12 state budget to assist in paying down the $933
million debt that South Carolina owes to the federal
government for loans made to our state during the
recession. The money to subsidize the unemployment
insurance will be spread equally over all insurance rate
classifications (2-20). These two measures combined will
provide approximately 25% insurance premium relief to all
employers for one year.
How will this work? Employers will receive a credit on their
insurance premiums as early as the fourth quarter. This should
significantly reduce the remaining insurance payments for the
July 2011 – June 2012 fiscal year. The rebate will be given to
rate class 2-20 and will be based on a percentage; so the higher
the premium class, the bigger the rebate.
Copper Theft Bill – Thieves Beware
A bill (H. 3660) that should stop the scourge of copper and
metal theft in the state received final approval in the General
Assembly and was signed by the Governor.
The bill sets up a permit system for people who want to sell
copper to recyclers. Individuals selling less than 10 pounds of
the metal would be allowed to obtain a free, 48-hour permit up
to twice a year by calling their local sheriff's office.
Those wanting to sell more than 10 pounds of copper in
excess of twice in a year would be required to apply in person
at a sheriff's office for a free, long-term permit. The bill covers
copper products, catalytic converters and stainless steel beer
kegs to the list of permit-required items.
The bill would also require the metal recyclers to apply for a
purchasing permit at their local sheriff's office at a cost of up to
$200. Also, instead of giving out cash, recyclers would only be
allowed to pay customers with checks for their copper and
metal purchases. SCBJ

Associate of Year Awards
Continued from page 9
Frank Norris has been an ardent supporter of the home
building industry and a member of the HBA for more than 40
years. He has served as committee chairs on both the local and
state associations and continues to give generously of his time
and resources. Frank Norris has testified in Senate and House
Committee hearings on behalf of the home building industry and
the citizens of South Carolina. He has played vocal rolls in
reducing the statute of repose from 13 to 8 years, fighting to
oppose the mandate for sprinklers in houses; as well, he has met
many times with lawmakers throughout the discussions of the
Crossman case involving general liability for builders.
According to Earl McLeod, Executive Director of the HBA of
Greater Columbia, “Frank Norris started his company more than
25 years ago with the tenet to provide the tools and service to make
those in the building industry successful. A goal he continues to
practice every day for the benefit of our community, industry and
Association.” Frank continues to be an active supporter of the
Columbia HBA; has given his time serving on the board for the local
chapter of the National Association for Mental Illness; and also
serves on the board for Sharing Precious Memories, a non-profit
organization that provides trips for families of special needs
children who otherwise could not afford to travel. Frank and his
wife, Mackey, have two sons, Sadler and Charley.
The HBASC commends both men on their commitment to the
home building industry and to their community. SCBJ

P r o f i l e
Tilton Group
Signature Homes
Steve Tilton takes care of his friends, who happen to be his customers.
I
B u i l d e r
by Stacey Tetloff
t might be the fact that Steve Tilton
has spent his entire life in the
building business. Or, it might just be
that it’s who he is. Whatever the reason, the
care he puts into creating friendships with his
customers has been the secret to his success as
a homebuilder. “My clients become my
friends,” Tilton explained. “We’ve worked hard
to build that culture in our business, and we
focus on taking care of one another.”
Don’t Wear Out Your Welcome
That commitment to care extends after the home building
process, and Tilton takes pride in continuing relationships
with clients long after the building process has finished. It’s
been good for business; Tilton Group Signature Homes has
not only built a loyal customer base, but has also had to rely
very little on advertising and marketing. “Our work comes
from word of mouth. We have created a sales force among
our previous clients in all of the different communities we
have worked in,” Tilton explained.
In fact, the longer Tilton Group builds a community, the
more business that comes their way. It’s something that not
every builder can say. Tilton and his team don’t wear out
their welcome. Instead, the establishment of friendship
creates a long-term relationship with the entire community.
A Lifelong Career
Tilton joked that he and his father always say, “We don’t
know anything else … we have to be builders.” Working in
the business since he was 10-years-old, nothing could
explain his experience better. His father was one of the
original Hilton Head builders, establishing in the area in
1964. “I grew up in the building business,” Tilton said, “and
I have been around building my entire life.”
In addition to his father, several family members are
also builders, and most of his childhood friends were sons
of builders.
Building Community
After obtaining a degree in architectural engineering from
Southern Polytech State University, returning to the Hilton
Head area and building his own business was the
culmination of his life’s experiences.
Tilton is now in his 18th year in business, founding Tilton
Group Signature Homes in 1994. The business builds custom
homes all over Beaufort County, and in communities around
the lowcountry.
The commitment Tilton has for his business and his
friends extends to all parts of the communities in which he
12
South Carolina Builder Journal • 2011 • www.hbaofsc.com
builds and lives. He currently serves as chairman
of the Greater Bluffton Community Fund of the
Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, is a
long standing Rotarian in the Rotary Club of
Bluffton, chairs the board of directors for Coastal
Carolina Hospital, and heads the advisory board
for BB&T Bank.
Tilton has also been a member of the local
home builders association, Hilton Head Area
Builders Association, for many years. His father,
in fact, was one of the founding members of the
association back in 1965. For the past seven years,
Tilton has been very active, serving this year as
the HHAHBA's president.
“Keeping up with current affairs and being involved in all
of the issues that affect our industry is one of the most
important benefits of active membership,” Tilton explained.
He also emphasized that education is a must-have to be
successful in building, and there is no better place to get that
education than through the programs offered by the home
builders associations. Tilton’s own designation as a Certified
Master Builder exemplifies his commitment to training and
education to positively represent the building industry.
Surviving the Challenges
Without question, Tilton feels that the recent recession has
been the biggest challenge he has ever had to overcome. In
spite of the economic downturn, he is optimistic about the
present and the future. “We’ve survived because of our
strong relationships with our subcontractors and vendors,”
he explained.
A lot of those relationships go back a long way, when the
fathers of Tilton’s subs and vendors worked with his own
father. That has been an enormous asset to everyone, and
everyone has worked as a team to help each other get
through the recession.
Tilton’s five employees are also an integral part of his
ability to survive the economy. Ron Boshaw, general
manager, Edward Welch, project manager, Michelle
Mroczka, client care coordinator, Melissa Fleury, business
development, and Holly Davidson, controller, each bring
expertise to the business that Tilton needs to be successful.
“Michelle,” Tilton explained, “is also an interior designer,
and that has also been a major asset. Not every builder has
an interior designer on staff.”
In addition to his team, Tilton is also supported by his
family. He has two daughters, Bridget and Meg, and a
stepson, Tom, with wife Maureen. Meg, the youngest, is
looking forward to following in her father’s footsteps. “I’ve
encouraged her to look at other options, but she’s already
committed to it, and she loves the business,” Tilton said. SCBJ
