• Prices are based on current building costs and subject to change.
• Prices do not include the cost of the homesite.
• Prices do include: home plan design, construction, landscape design and installation, real estate and marketing fee, and interior/exterior design selection and coordination.
• All plans require ARC review and approval.
• Prices are locked in after ARC approval is obtained and structural engineering plans are obtained for permitting.

A Testimonial
Steve and I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Seabrook Island Real Estate team for making our home buying experience such a pleasure. Special thanks to our agent, John Halter, for his dedication to his clients. He combined the perfect balance of professionalism, honesty, diligence, a great sense of humor, and a “can do” attitude that made working with him such a great experience. Special thanks to Mary Ann and Ryan who also helped and encouraged us along the way. It took a village to get us there, and all of you were great.
Almost a year passed between our “this is it” moment to the date we closed on our home in Seabrook. John and the Seabrook Island Real Estate team were there for us all the way, never wavering in your commitment to make a fully accessible Seabrook Island lifestyle a reality for us. Together, we found a way to resolve our special challenges without sacrificing the understated elegance and charm that Seabrook Island homes are famous for. You are all Rock Stars and thanks again for everything!
Best,
Patricia and Steve
I left my hometown of Anderson, SC, at the age of 18 to move to the beach and attend the College of Charleston. Since then, I have lived in the Lowcountry for the past 20 years, where I have worked primarily in customer service and sales.
After spending ten years as an Assistant Golf Professional on Kiawah Island, I transitioned into an outside sales role with a national beverage distributor. Over the course of seven years, I had the opportunity to travel internationally and learn about some of the world’s oldest and most renowned wines and spirits.
In 2015, I became a licensed REALTOR® in South Carolina and have dedicated myself to providing exceptional customer service and negotiations for my clients. My focus areas are Johns and James Island, West Ashley, Downtown, and Mount Pleasant. It’s a blessing to be able to work in a place like Seabrook Island and share my passion for real estate sales and Lowcountry living with my clients. My top priority is to provide an unparalleled experience in the home buying and selling process for all my past, present, and future clients throughout the greater Charleston area.
