Russ Fielden | Broker-in-charge
As a trusted advisor to my clients and a longtime resident of Hilton Head Island, I understand that buying a home on the island, especially if that home is on the water, is a complex and deeply personal decision. There’s a lot at stake financially and you want to find a home that allows you to enjoy all aspects of your life in a way that is peaceful and rewarding. With more than 40 years of experience, I’m an expert on the local market and all the variables that can come into play during a real estate transaction. I have a proven track record of providing my clients with insider knowledge, a commitment to protecting their best interests, and a buying experience that consistently exceeds expectations.
I first moved to the island in the 70s after attending college in Charleston, South Carolina. From there, my love affair with Hilton Head Island began. I worked for the Sea Pines Company before starting a career in construction and remodeling, all the while making sure to use every chance I had to get myself out on the island’s famous blue waters. Eventually, my wife Deb and I combined our professional skills and love of the area to remodel and develop the Beaufort Inn, turning it into a AAA four-diamond property. We successfully ran the inn for seven years, welcoming travelers and showing off the place we love to call home to people from all over the world.
Founding Southern Coast Realty in 2005 allowed us to continue sharing this spectacular region, only now we get to welcome people home and call them neighbors instead of saying goodbye at the end of a trip. It’s a career and a lifestyle I can’t get enough of, and my love of Hilton Head Island with its abundant waterways and breathtaking landscapes is evident in my work as a real estate agent.
If you’re looking to buy property on Hilton Head Island, you need an attentive, dedicated, and knowledgeable partner throughout the process. My years of experience as a contractor have given me extensive knowledge of county and zoning laws, development ordinances, and subdivision requirements. I’m an expert in waterfront and water-centered properties, which Hilton Head Island has an abundance of, and I can give you all the necessary information without applying pressure.
When I’m not busy helping clients achieve their real estate goals, I still take every chance I get to enjoy the lowcountry waterways by boat. I also love photography, and Hilton Head Island with its stunning views and abundant wildlife gives me plenty of opportunities to get my camera out.
If you’re ready to see what Hilton Head Island can offer you, prepare to be impressed, and give me a call today. I’d love the opportunity to show you why this island is unlike any other and to be your advocate in finding the perfect home for you.
