Buy With Us
Experience
Buying on Kiawah is complicated, with a unique Club Membership structure, a variety of association dues structures, and guidelines. Our Sales Executives are the most knowledgeable and immersed in the Island to help you navigate the sales process, bringing more than 12,500 owners to the closing table over more than 40 years.
Advantage
As the market leader on Kiawah, we offer the widest selection of properties. Many of our Sales Executives live or own property on Kiawah. Their relationships throughout the Island have helped many of our buyers before and after the sale. In addition, we have comprehensive knowledge of Kiawah transactions — the vast majority of which are not found in MLS — to provide counsel and advice on purchase price.
Results
We negotiate on your behalf to secure the best possible price for your new property. We are there at closing to answer your questions and make sure everything runs smoothly. Our full-time in-house legal team is also available to help streamline the transaction from first offer to closing.
Access
We have unparalleled access to properties and amenities that interest you. By nurturing relationships with Kiawah organizations for decades, including the Kiawah Island Club, our Sales Executives are the only real estate agents permitted to introduce these amenities to potential buyers at any time. No other firm has access to these Club facilities.
Resources
We provide comprehensive, quarterly property reports giving you the most in-depth analysis available of purchase trends on Kiawah Island. In addition, custom CMA’s are prepared by our Sales Executives of properties of interest to help advise you on a purchase.
We also have an in-house legal team to prepare and review contracts and other documents.
Location
We are the only real estate firm with on-Island sales offices.
We have three offices located at the Main Gate, the Sanctuary Hotel, and Freshfields Village; open seven days a week. This makes it easiest to see a model home or meet with a Sales Executive at your convenience, any day of the week. Our Sales Executives are ready and available to show you property at a time that works best for you.
Buyer's Checklist
Purchasing a property on Kiawah is quite a major milestone and there is a lot to consider. To enhance and maximize your property search experience, we recommended you create a list of your wants and your needs. Some property features may solicit questions and working with an experienced sales professional is the best way to ensure that all of your concerns are addressed. Many of our sales executives are Kiawah Island homeowners — leading members of the community – and live on the Island fulltime. All of our sales executives are exclusively focused on selling Kiawah properties and are here to help you prioritize your home buying list.
- Take time to define your search parameters. Make a list of your needs and wants.
- Set a budget, taking into consideration other fees such as taxes, insurance, utilities, association fees, and Club Membership deposits and dues.
- Narrow down the type or types of properties that interest you: villa, cottage, single-family home, and/or homesite.
- What amenities do you hope to be near? What amenities do you plan on using on a regular basis? Consider golf courses, the exercise facilities, the beach, Freshfields Village, etc.
- Is there a specific view that you’re aiming for? Marsh, river, ocean, lagoon, golf, maritime forest, or a combination of views?
- How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need?
- What is your buying time frame?
