Hilton Head Area REALTORS® President 2026
Tony and I have proudly called Hilton Head Plantation home since 1997. What began as a place to live quickly became a place we deeply believe in—both as residents and as real estate professionals.
We don’t just work here. We live here. We experience the lifestyle, understand the nuances, and have a firsthand appreciation for what makes this community so special.
With over 60 years of combined real estate experience and recognition including 2024 REALTOR® of the Year, our approach is built on knowledge, integrity, and results.
As the Broker-In-Charge of Hilton Head Real Estate Partners, Jo Anne leads with a commitment to professionalism, service, and elevated client experience—ensuring every client receives personalized attention and expert guidance.
Hilton Head Plantation is not just another neighborhood—it’s a private, amenity-rich community with its own structure, rules, and lifestyle considerations.
Because we live here, we offer insight that goes beyond listings:
This level of knowledge allows our clients to make informed, confident decisions.
Over the years, we’ve built not only a business here—but relationships, friendships, and a deep connection to the community.
We take pride in helping others find their place in Hilton Head Plantation and guiding homeowners through successful sales with care and precision.
