Buyer reviewWe have been searching in a very specific location in Sea Pines for a couple of years. I had spoken with 3 other agents about our search and John was the fourth. I figured the more people I had looking, the better off I would be. And that certainly ended up being the case, since John was given a heads up about this property before it even hit the MLS listings. If it had not been for John, we would have never even heard about it until it was too late. He was extremely helpful through the whole process and we could not have been happier. We now have our dream second home exactly where we wanted to be!

Buyer reviewJohn White went above and beyond regular customer service with the purchase of my beautiful new home! He went out of his way and made many extra trips to assist with some zoning / building ussues to attorneys and the county. I could not recomend him enough in helping anyone in need of selling or purchasing a new home. I am honored and proud to call John my realtor and good friend, as well! :)

Seller reviewJohn White is professional, thorough, and one of the nicest people I know. He goes above and beyond with daily communication and provides excellent service to his clients. I was never hesitant to contact him with any questions or concerns, regardless of how big or small. John is always attentive and would search out the answer, if he did not know it. I would highly recomend him for any real estate transactions. Thank you John!

Buyer reviewJohn was wonderful in every aspect of the process, he made us feel at ease and not rushed. He gave us options and even helped us see the house via zoom cause we lived out of state at the time. John went above and beyond for my family and I and I would highly recommended him to anyone else.
