Vintage Estates Realty Opens New Office In Myrtle Beach

The boutique firm is the exclusive Affiliate in South Carolina's coastal communities of Pawleys Island, Georgetown, and Myrtle Beach


South Carolina’s premier tourist destination, the picturesque Myrtle Beach, is home to Vintage Estates Realty’s newest office, which opened last month. The boutique office opened with six well-respected local realtors and is led by Don Thomas, a Director on the 2012 Coastal Carolina Association of Realtors Board of Directors. Thomas is the Broker-in-Charge for both of the firm’s offices.

An exclusive Affiliate since 2008, Vintage Estates Realty is now able to offer buyers and sellers of high-end properties in the Myrtle Beach community access to the combined marketing efforts of Christie’s and Christie’s International Real Estate.

"From the beginning our affiliation with Christie's has produced great results and helped propel our company into the forefront in the luxury real estate market in this coastal area of South Carolina,” says Chuck Cooper, well-respected community leader and businessman in the Pawleys Island area and principal of both Vintage Estates Realty offices. “Now with two boutique offices in the area, we are poised for even greater success and can provide more comprehensive service to our clients. It's important to get the word out to other affiliates that Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island offer some most beautiful and highest-quality properties for vacation and second homes anywhere in the world."

Adds Keith Hellmer, invited principal in the Myrtle Beach office: "Vintage Estates Realty is thrilled to bring Christie's International Real Estate Estate into the coastal South Carolina marketplace, serving Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island along with the rest of the Grand Strand. A wealth of residential and commercial properties is available and offers an incredible opportunity to purchase real estate with truly phenomenal values. The Grand Strand features 60 miles of coastline in a temperate, semitropical climate and offers a variety of lifestyle opportunities that include primary and second homes along the oceanfront and creek-front environs, golf course communities, marina-front properties, hunting tracts and large farms, plantations, and riverfront estates... Let us show you the charm of these fine coastal communities, this place, and our famed Southern hospitality."

Widely known for its beautiful beaches, challenging golf links, and world-class seafood restaurants, Myrtle Beach is often referred to as the “Grand Strand” and offers a range of luxury oceanfront homes, classic Southern estates, and golf course properties. One of the most talked-about homes in the heart of the Grand Strand is the magnificent Ocean Estate, which has recently been listed by Vintage Estates Realty’s new Myrtle Beach office. Offered for sale at US$4.495 million, the five-acre property enjoys over 1,000 feet of unobstructed ocean views and is Vintage Estate Realty’s first property to be enrolled in the Christie’s International Real Estate Bespoke Marketing Program.
