I found Alec Smith long before I moved to South Carolina. A friend in Maine had moved here and raved about it so I started checking it out and I found Alec. He educated me so much about the area, sending me maps, homes to look at, phone calls offering ups and downs of different areas, but most importantly, he wanted to know what I was looking for so he could help me "check off all the boxes". In May of 2022 I finally made the move here from Maine and began officially working with Alec to find a home. Because he listened intently to what I was looking for, it didn't take long to find my dream home in Battery Point with fabulous amenities. Alec will make sure you get everything thoroughly inspected before you make up your mind to buy or not to buy, e.g. inspection, termite inspection, appraisal, etc. He keeps his eye on the ball making sure things get taken care of quickly and correctly and the process continues to move along to closing. He spent months with me and was never pushy or impatient. AND he bought me a gift card to a high-end furniture store to boot! Alec's great!! I could go on and on and on. You can't go wrong with this broker. I highly, highly recommend him. Oh, and even though I'm in my home now, he still answers questions I have about the house, like how do I get the gas fireplace to work? He helped me figure that out!

We certainly made the right decision because his customer service skills are exceptional.

While being very personable and extremely professional, what was most important to us, is we could trust him.

We began our lowcountry real estate journey with Alec Smith about a year and a half ago. His extensive knowledge of the area guided us to our dream property, his shrewd negotiating skills ensured that we secured the best possible price, and his professionalism and attention to detail guaranteed that everything came together seamlessly. Alex will forever be our Realtor when the need arises, but now he is also our good friend!

When moving to Beaufort and deciding we wanted to buy instead of continuing to rent, we met Alec. Alec helped us buy our first home and was the best realtor anybody could ask for. It was a home we wanted to keep forever, but upon receiving a job offer on the other side of the country we turned to him once more to help us sell our home. Once again, Alec exceeded our expectations and helped us sell our home and get the best deal possible. He works around the clock and is always available anytime you need him during the process. His knowledge of the local area and of the home buying/selling process is unparalleled. I honestly cannot imagine using a different realtor because Alec made both buying and selling our home as stress free as possible so that we could focus on other aspects of our move and life. I highly recommend you get in contact with Alec to buy or sell your home. It will be one of the best decisions you ever make. Thanks again for everything Alec!

From the very beginning, his personality stood out—he’s incredibly passionate about his work, genuinely kind, and fiercely advocates for his buyers. He always kept my best interests at the center of every conversation and decision. He’s a “hustler” in the best way: focused, persistent, and always moving the process forward. His intelligence and expertise were evident at every step. Alec has a deep understanding of real estate and knows the local market like the back of his hand. He has the buying process down to a science. He’s a natural problem solver with exceptional attention to detail, and I always felt reassured knowing he could answer any question I threw his way—even the ones I worried were “dumb.” I was equally impressed by his drive. He stayed looped into every communication and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. When I got behind on tasks or requests, he nudged me forward with encouragement rather than pressure. Alec was also incredibly patient with my family and me. We weren’t always quick or decisive, but he supported us at every turn without frustration or judgment. Another standout quality was his extensive professional network. Alec clearly had a positive working relationship with the seller’s agent, and he seemed to know reliable people for every part of the home-buying process. From inspections to lawn care, he had top-quality recommendations ready to go. Finally—and most importantly—Alec is honest. He carries himself with real integrity, and I always felt he brought the truth to every situation, even when it wasn’t the easiest or most convenient thing to say. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re looking for someone driven, knowledgeable, genuine, and truly dedicated to his clients, call Alec for your next home purchase.

Alec did a wonderful job assisting us with selling our home. He had professional photos taken and beautiful marketing flyers and postcards created. He answered every question quickly, kept us well informed, and communicated effectively. Our house was under contract by the end of the first week on the market. We would highly recommend Alec if you are looking to sell your home.

I was the owner of a building lot in the bull Point development. I worked with Alec Smith to sell the property. I chose Alec because he has a lot of experience selling lots at bull Point and he knows the value of most lots because of his experience. Hepriced my lot right and was able to sell it for me in a relatively short period of time. Alec is very professional and very hard-working. I would highly recommend Alec as a real estate agent.

Alec Smith is absolutely amazing to deal with and should be your only choice for Lowcountry real estate. I worked with him for almost two years before we finally found a property and he was never impatient or pushy. He worked very hard to find me exactly what I was looking for even though it wasn't a really large real estate purchase. We eventually bought land instead of a home but he worked as if he was selling us a mansion. I would definitely say he is driven by relationships over paychecks. Alec is very knowledgeable of the local real estate environment and has many resources at his disposal to help you make the proper decision. He provided many other points of contact that will be helpful as we move forward with our build. I will only use Alec for any purchases I make in the Beaufort area.
