I started White Oak Real Estate after retiring as a firefighter, and although it might seem like a major career shift, what led me to become a realtor in Summerton is the same that originally set me down the path of being a first responder. My nature is to help others. The home buying and selling process can be hopeful, anticipated, and exciting, but with that can come some anxiety and stress. I first got my license to handle my own purchase but fell in love with the prospect of helping potential homebuyers and sellers in Charleston and all the amazing communities around it.
The Advantage of Being A Native
One of the biggest advantages that I bring to being a real estate agent in Charleston is that I was born, raised, and am native to the Charleston area. Although things have changed over time, some things never will. Charleston is a magical place full of history, tradition, and Southern Hospitality. South Carolina is on the list of one of the five best places to live for a reason. Whether you are a beachcomber, a mountain lover, or a history buff, everything you could possibly want is within a day trip, which is what led me to Summerton.
A Forever Love For Summerton
Charleston is an amazing city and one that I had the fortune of growing up in, but when I visited Summerton, the slower pace, lake activities, and community attracted me so much that I decided to make it my home. Fortunately, I am not far from my roots in Charleston and still have family that I get to visit frequently. Charleston is and always will be my home, but Summerton quickly became my escape and home away from home. I look forward to sharing my new hideaway from the crowds with others who are ready to take the plunge and move more rural.
Activities Galore — Never A Dull Moment
Most travelers know all the spectacular things to do in Charleston, from the haunted grave tours to exotic and world-renowned cuisine; doing it all in one trip is nearly impossible. What they might not know is that Summerton is just a hop, skip, and jump from Charleston to some of the most scenic and wonderful environments that the South has to offer. From Lake Marion to the Santee National Wildlife Refuge, it is an entirely wild and amazing habitat, literally untouched. Setting out for a fishing excursion, leaving the stress of the day-to-day, and taking on the thrill of the hunt is what life is all about.
What Makes Me the Best Realtor in Summerton?
If someone were to ask me, “What makes you the best real estate agent in Charleston?” my answer would be simple: the love and passion that I have for the area. I not only know every nook and cranny of the Lowcountry; I live and breathe it. There is no place on earth that I would rather be. Once more, I have never strayed from home, which means that I have a network of professionals, who are more like long-term relationships built on trust. In a world that is fast-paced, impersonal, and less social than media, those are invaluable commodities that I feel benefit my clients.
Retiring And Doing What I Love
The truth is that I could have retired, purchased my home, and lived out the rest of my long years ahead doing nothing but fishing; no schedule, no career, no appointments, but that sounds super uneventful and the opposite of what I want in life: to be connected with and help others. I love Summerton and Charleston, and I hope to share with others the wonders that make South Carolina the best place on earth to set up roots. Hopefully, we can work together to find your next place to hang your hat. You won’t just be a customer; you’ll be a part of the community, neighbor, and family.
