George Read

Agent

georgeread@williammeans.com

2009 REALTOR® of Distinction



George graduated from the University of Richmond with degrees in Political Science and Business, and he began his career as a trader of government securities in cash and futures markets. He enjoyed the challenge and fast pace of the securities brokerage, but another opportunity beckoned.

An interview with Helen Geer, the broker-in-charge of William Means Real Estate, convinced him that real estate was the field for him, and that William Means was the perfect place to pursue it.

George grew up in Charleston, one of the most important and diverse historic districts in North America, and he knows it well. Like many Charlestonians, his experience is first-hand; he has stayed over in these houses with friends, attended parties on the verandahs, swam in the pools, and played touch football in the gardens.

George found in short order that the disciplines of analyzing, valuing, and promoting historic properties were as rigorous and rewarding as Helen had described. His knowledge of the market served him well. In his first year with William Means he brokered the transaction of one of the highest price per square foot residences in downtown Charleston.

George and his fellow brokers at William Means experience the privilege of working with fine historic structures on a daily basis. It is certain that all of them would agree with Clem Conger, former Curator of the White House Collections, who often told visiting dignitaries that if there were just one place in America that they could see besides Washington, it should be Charleston.

Will Dammeyer graduated with a B.A. in Business Management and a concentration in Economics from Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia. As a four-year varsity letter winner, he was captain of the lacrosse team and won the Joshua White Award for excellence in leadership. Along with being a sports enthusiast, Will is quite the avid outdoorsman. Having grown up near the Chesapeake Bay in Annapolis, Maryland, Will has a deep-rooted passion for cycling, fishing, surfing, and boating. His love for the outdoors has enabled him to live from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, skiing the slopes and fly-fishing the rivers, to Western North Carolina, biking the trails and hiking the mountains.

Will began his real estate career at an exclusive second home community in North Carolina, nestled in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains. In less than two years, he sold over 15 million dollars in real estate, helping to establish one of the most remarkable lakefront communities in North Carolina.

In 2007, Will relocated to Charleston and became the Sales and Marketing Director for Hibben at Belle Hall, a Tradition Neighborhood Development community in Mt. Pleasant. He worked exclusively with the developer to craft the community layout and lot pricing. In his two years at Hibben, Will sold over 14 million dollars in real estate. Upon moving to the Lowcountry, Will bought a home in the neighborhood of Avondale in West Ashley and resides there with his black lab, Loomis.
