No stranger to the wonderment of Seabrook Island
Ingrid and her husband escaped to their “secret oasis” for 25 years for extended family holidays, vacations with their children, and often, long weekends with friends. One of her greatest blessings has been watching their three children grow up, developing a deep appreciation and respect for everything Seabrook encompasses.
Ingrid’s immense love for the ocean and architecture began in early childhood when she spent every summer at “the shore” in Cape, NJ. Living on Mackinac Island, Michigan, and riding on snowmobiles with her father across Lake Huron breathed a sense of adventure into her. Ingrid spent her elementary years residing in Hillsdale, Michigan, and the following years in the upstates of South Carolina and Asheville, NC.
Before her career at Seabrook Island Real Estate, Ingrid was a registered nurse for 31 years, with experience in administration and management. The skillset acquired throughout her nursing career has proven exceptionally valuable in numerous home renovations and real estate transactions.
A resident of Seabrook Island and an active member of the Seabrook Island Club, Ingrid enjoys traveling, tennis, walks on the beach, meeting new neighbors through social functions at the club, and sharing time on the island with friends. Her favorite days are spent at the beach or exploring the island with her husband, Dwight, and their entire family, including Sheepadoodle, Bech. Whether you are looking to relocate to the Lowcountry full-time, purchase a vacation home, or sell your property, Ingrid’s skillset, combined with her extensive history and deep connection to Seabrook Island, will help guide you throughout your home buying or selling experience.
Client Testimonials
I contacted Ingrid to ask a few questions about Seabrook since I was unfamiliar with the Island and from that moment on I felt like I was talking to a friend, as Ingrid is so personable and a wealth of information. It helped me feel comfortable to be able to ask her any questions, and I had a lot! She always took her time to explain how things work on Seabrook. Ingrid understood what I was looking for and she arranged for an Island tour and viewings of properties based on our discussion. She helped me weigh pros and cons of different properties and she was always available to help me talk through the options. On a few occasions we FaceTimed a few properties, as I was also searching remotely. Once I was ready, Ingrid was quick to get to work and negotiate a fair price for me given the necessary repairs. During the due diligence phase she is very thorough, to include various inspections, given the property’s concerns. It was a stressful time but Ingrid was steps ahead of the process. In the end, with her patience and guidance I thankfully ended up purchasing a home far different than I originally intended. Her experience and knowledge with Seabrook contractors and renovations on the Island is still extremely helpful in navigating the repair/renovation process. Her eye for design is an added value in helping determine the right property based on future potential. Ingrid looked out for my best interests and she has been an invaluable resource since moving to Seabrook! I couldn’t recommend Ingrid enough if your looking for a Seabrook Island realtor!

We feel enormously fortunate to have connected with Ingrid Phillips. Quite simply, Ingrid is as exceptional a person as she is a professional. From our very first meeting, Ingrid shared a thoughtfully informed perspective to Seabrook's offerings: its variety of properties, amenities, natural surroundings, and community. We have moved and worked with many realtors over the years. Ingrid's guidance and generous assistance far surpassed what we've experienced before. From understanding our preferences as we explored property options, to making our final home purchase, Ingrid anticipated our concerns and provided clear answers to questions - sharing the kind of particular information that instills confidence when negotiating and making real estate purchasing decisions. At every step, Ingrid enabled this purchase to proceed seamlessly, which has not always been our experience! Diplomatic, genuine, and gracious, Ingrid also went out of her way to introduce us to new neighbors and helped us with logistics, making it possible for us to enjoy our new home almost immediately. This is all to say that Ingrid is a phenomenal real estate professional and community resource, and we are delighted to have her as one of our new neighbors!

I can’t say enough good things about Ingrid Phillips. She went above and beyond what you would expect from a realtor for my husband and myself. I had tried to sell our Seabrook Island Beach house on my own without any luck. I then reached out to a few realtors and after messaging Ingrid I immediately knew she was the right fit for us. She not only had it staged with no cost to us but even cleaned my closets and had videos and photos done within two days of contacting her. She had it listed within just a few days and multiple offers in less than a week. Several of which were above asking price and finally sold for $76,000 over asking price. Everything was done electronically and via email and phone calls as we are in a different state and it was such a smooth process. I finally got the chance to meet Ingrid when I went to pick up our personal belongings and she is just as wonderful and personable in person. I could see us being friends if we were staying on the island. I can’t thank Ingrid enough for being such a great realtor and taking every detail in to account and making things so easy for us. I would highly recommend her for all your real estate needs

I would like to take this opportunity to thank and commend Ingrid for her outstanding, above-and-beyond effort in assisting me in my search for a homesite on Seabrook Island. I have been looking for a home or a building lot in South Carolina for several years, only to see each opportunity disappear within hours. With that said, timing was everything, but I now know having the right real estate representative working for you is what makes dreams a reality. I scheduled my trip to see homes and land on Seabrook Island in coordination with one of your competitors. Sadly, they paid no attention to my needs or desires. I wasted two days with them, feeling hopeless, and yet another opportunity slipped away. I noticed several other options that your competition did not present to me, and that led me to walk into your office. Upon entering, I immediately felt welcomed with a pleasant and inviting greeting. I was promptly introduced to Ingrid Phillips, who went out of her way to assist and accommodate me despite not having an appointment. I told Ingrid what I was searching for, and she immediately took me to several properties and homesites. Within ten days, she was able to find what I was looking for, and we were under contract for 2144 Royal Pine Drive. She truly went out of her way to make this happen, and words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation.

We can’t say enough about our amazing agent, Ingrid. Once we decided to sell, she met with us, carefully reviewed comps with pictures, and made sure we were comfortable with the listing process. Ingrid demonstrated genuine interest in our desires, quickly helped us stage our villa and had it on the market within days. She priced it perfectly, and we were under contract in 3 days! In addition, Ingrid helped us find and purchase just the right Seabrook Island property, working on our behalf to get the best deal for us. It was truly a pleasure to have Ingrid represent us in both transactions. Ingrid’s love for people, decorating, and attention to detail shines through in everything she does!
