The steady sound of waves…the reflection of the moon sparkling on the ocean…what more could I ask for. A few nights of watching and hearing the Atlantic Ocean and all of its splendor, was all I needed to make the decision to move to Hilton Head Island. Of course, for my husband Fleming, there are enough golf courses in the area to allow him to play a different course every day of the month if he chose.

For over four years, I've been with Dunes Marketing Group, the premier real estate firm for Hilton Head Island real estate. Within my first year, I received the Distinguished Sales Award for Hilton Head Island real estate sales. Having enjoyed the "life of leisure" for a brief period after retiring from a very demanding career, it was time to put my high energy level back to work. Venturing into Hilton Head Island real estate just seemed like a natural fit for me. Having moved several times, I feel like I understand the challenges from both perspectives - the buyer and the seller.


My professional experience in marketing has been invaluable - marketing yourself, your products and your company to the right people is critical to success.

And of course, the most important part of being successful in Hilton Head Island real estate is having a relationship with your customer. This principle was ingrained in me during my many years at IBM. Providing incomparable service, by understanding your needs, listening to what you want and how you want it, being responsive and making you feel special - Isn't that what it's really all about!!
