“I know Ethan as an honest, hardworking man. An all-around good guy. It has been my pleasure to know him. He will never try to sell you a home or anything else, without having your best interest in mind, & he will not quit until things are right.”

Tobi Scott

“From the very beginning, Ethan James displayed a caring can do attitude regarding the selling our home. After talking to other realtors, it was his confidence that persuaded us to select him as our agent on one of the biggest decisions we've ever made. Throughout the process, Ethan's diligence, professionalism and experience was the fabric that held us together, when at times, we wanted to call it quits. Furthermore, we were always assured that he worked for us and that the ball was in our court when making final decisions regardless the outcome. However, it was his professionalism and experience that always led us to making the right decision. Finally, selecting Ethan as our realtor was the best decision we made on selling our home. We're recommending him to everyone we know that is in the market of buying or selling a home.”

Scott 3876 Oyster Bluff Blvd, Beaufort

“Ethan did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our new home. Since we weren’t familiar with the area, his local expertise was both valuable and greatly appreciated. He was consistently responsive and guided us through every aspect of the process—especially impressive given that much of the transaction was handled remotely. Ethan went above and beyond during the closing process. He and his team maintained clear and constant communication, keeping us informed every step of the way. He offered thoughtful advice and recommendations we wouldn’t have considered on our own. Ethan was friendly, professional, and accommodating throughout. He even took the time to provide helpful referrals for landscaping, handyman, and contracting services—an added bonus that made settling in much easier. We’re truly grateful for his support and highly recommend his services.”

“Ethan stepped in to handle the sale of our home when our original realtor was unable to continue. He was a huge bonus for us. Ethan is a lifelong resident of Beaufort and knows the market intimately. We immediately felt comfortable with him and were delighted with his efforts and the results. He did a superb job marketing our property and was incredibly responsive to all of our requests. He noticed at one point that I was feeling unusually stressed and quickly identified ways he could step in and take some of the weight off our shoulders. We have bought and sold many homes in the past 20 years. We would wholeheartedly recommend Ethan to anyone who is considering buying or selling a property in the Beaufort area.”
