We'd been in touch with Edward Dukes, owner of this real estate company, for some months by phone…read moreand email before we had the pleasure of meeting him in person on our most recent trip down to South Carolina. It's our hope to find a property in this town in the next couple of years or so and took this jaunt down here to have a more detailed look-see on what we called a "working vacation". One morning we decided to pop in to say hello..we hadn't yet made a formal appointment with Mr. Dukes, but he welcomed us right in and sat down with us for what was a most helpful conversation and to take a look at some properties on a wall mounted flat screen TV. It was a broiling hot morning already and he kindly brought us bottles of ice water. It's a lovely office, nicely decorated and with all the amenities. It's a comfortable space and clearly this company does well for itself. We told him what we'd seen already and given our interests he pointed out a number of other areas he thought we should explore. He showed us areas and properties on that big flat screen...high tech and helpful. We took all his suggestions driving through all of them. They were most appreciated and on point. As a result we were able to settle on a particular part of town (one of the islands) in which we find ourselves very interested. We also had an opportunity to talk to another agent named Colleen. We called her one day when we discovered a property we thought was interesting and wanted some information. She spent a long time on the phone with us helping us understand the area, the particular house we were looking at, tax considerations, etc. When the time comes, this is the real estate agency we will use. In the meantime we have a focus which was part of the reason for our journey. We're grateful for the groundwork they helped us lay and the courtesy with which we were treated even though they knew we were not immediate buyers. These are signs of not only good service but show that they are smart business people. Definitely a class act here.

Attention any of you who may be interested, as I am, in urban design movements and planning…read more Habersham is the name of a residential development that embodies the principles known as New Urbanism which is one such movement. The idea behind the New Urbanism philosophy is to create walkable/bikeable, human-scaled neighborhoods whose primary purpose is to foster a sense of community and sustainability. There are a number of New Urbanism communities throughout the United States and Europe now. Perhaps one of the more well-known ones was originally developed by the Walt Disney Company in Celebration Florida. We visited Habersham on our latest trip to SC as we were interested to see what one of these communities looked like up close. Indeed, there is nary a car in sight. What you do see are a lot of well-planned green spaces, a lovely pond, actual walkable sidewalks and an assortment of houses none of which look cutter-cutter. Things were a bit eerily quiet but in fairness it was the middle of a weekday when presumably most people were at work and kids would have been in school. The only sounds we heard were some people mowing the common spaces. It was also incredibly pristine. Nothing looked out of place and so in this regard seemed almost a bit too good to be true. Because New Urbanism philosophy also espouses diversity of housing types we noted there were single family homes of various sizes, townhouses, and loft apartments. There was not a moving car in sight the day we visited other than the one we were driving. We did finally find some parked cars discreetly parked behind the houses so your walking experience would be fairly unaffected by the sight of cars or motorized traffic. There is a central community area that thus far houses a grocery store, post office, dentist's office, restaurants, a pizza place and a shop selling Italian ices. There were a few additional businesses and more planned. Reducing carbon footprints, suburban sprawl, and traffic congestion while fostering a sense of community, easy encounters with neighbors and a sense of personal safety are among the lofty goals New Urbanism sets out to achieve and it looks like Habersham fits the bill in addressing these things. I can also see how a self-contained place like this with lots of planned community events which we saw advertised could lessen the social isolation that is so rampant in many cities and suburbs. While I love the goals of New Urbanism and the way Habersham was laid out, I wondered if this community was perhaps a bit more "perfect" and serene than I could handle day in and day out. Habersham is very pretty and was interesting to see. I believe there is a place for communities like this one which has a lot to commend it. We enjoyed our visit to this community and taking a close-up look at a well-thought out development based on an intriguing design philosophy.

I found David when searching the internet for homes in the Hilton Head area, and I contacted him as…read morewe were coming into the area from New Jersey. David was all about getting my wife and I oriented to the Hilton Head and Bluffton areas and his tutorial was exceptional. He sat down with us and reviewed the neighborhoods and nuances about each. Then he drove us through many of them so we could get a good feel about whether an area was a good fit for our desired profile. His gracious business associate, Elise Witman took my wife and I on home showings one day when David was not available. David kept in touch via phone, text, email, and was accessible when we had questions. His integrated website also was extremely helpful, and he built searches which would send emails when new homes in desired size, cost, neighborhood would come on the market or experience a price change. I told him that his knowledge and information shared helped us to know that we would love to live in the Hilton Head or Bluffton areas. Thanks David!!

He drove us around on our first house hunting trip out here, and was super flexible when we wanted to add a couple extra that weren't originally on the list. When we found "the" house, he was out on the roof and up in the attic checking things out for us! His team of professionals for the inspection, roof report, etc have been incredible. Even a month after closing, he's still giving us fantastic referrals for all of our home project needs. Can't recommend him more!

It was quite the opposite--he seemed truly invested in helping us find the best fit for us. He was always accessible, answered our never-ending questions, and it was evident that he had our best interests in mind. We worked with Dan for well over a year, and we were doing everything from out of state. Dan went above and beyond for us in numerous ways, and we ultimately found the house that was the perfect fit for us! We would 100% recommend Dan to anyone buying a home in the area. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Bluffton and the various communities. Furthermore, he used to be in the home-building business, so it felt like we had an extra advantage when viewing homes because he was always checking the quality of the build from a contractor's perspective. All in all, we were so thankful we chose Dan and truly appreciated his expertise, patience, and diligence in helping us find our perfect home from 1,000 miles away, in a very competitive market!

Almost 6 months ago we made the decision to make a long distance move from Massachusetts to South…read moreCarolina. Not knowing where to start, we saw a house we wanted to see, so we called the realtor that advertised the house and boy did we luck out. Paul Kozumplik was the best, he spent the whole day with us. Paul was very knowledgeable about the area and had so much patience with us. When we decided the time was right we called Paul and he started the whole process starting with getting us a great agent to sell our house in Ma. Spending several days looking, we found a great house. We could not have done all this without Paul Kozumplik..RE/MAX Island Realty.......

Paul is a seasoned and knowledgeable real estate agent. We were looking for a 55+ community back in…read moreJune, and we were lucky to find Paul at nearby Re/Max office. We only had a couple of weeks to do some house-searching, and Paul worked very hard to show us as much as possible during a short period of time. But since our home up north was not on the market yet, we decided to wait until it was sold. Right after it sold in Nov. 2018, we took an extended stay at the Candlewood Suites in Bluffton. Paul helped us to find it. So when we connected with Paul again in November, he was just as determined to find us a house as he was in June. We had our sights set on Sun City - Hilton Head. This place is like a "paradise on earth." I will review it at a another time. Paul spent so much time showing us homes in a number of different price ranges and styles. This guy had endless energy, but knew exactly how to balance our time so that we were never overwhelmed. We always enjoyed his sense of humor and practicality. He was always very helpful, and after we finally purchased a 5-year old house in Sun City, he gave us just the right contacts for reliable maintenance and professional people. My wife and I highly recommend Paul if you are looking for an agent who knows the ins and outs of the real estate world, and who will take you through the home-buying process from A - Z. Besides that, he's just a great guy!

He works with the Trisha Cook team and was more than accommodating to view houses on our behalf, and coordinate inspections. He gave honest feedback and was very thorough with his work. I'm glad I was referred to him, and I will continue to refer him to others, in addition to working with him to buy future properties! The team he works on (Trisha Cook team, with Keller Williams) has an amazing philosophy, and strives to keep their promise to each of their clients. There wasn't a single moment where I felt I was being neglected during the process, they were always ready to answer questions with a smile! Very personable team and easy to work with during a stressful time of house buying!
