ellehaynes@williammeans.com
I guess I could have been chef in a small bistro somewhere, or a gallery owner with my passion for art, or maybe even a landscape architect. All of those careers would have appealed to me but I found myself fascinated with houses. How they are built, who designed them, their history, who lives in them, how they are decorated and, most of all, how the families live in them. Going into someone’s home is like opening a present to see the surprise inside. It is amazing how unique each home is and how differently one family lives than another.
I feel a sense of pride when entrusted with the buying or selling process of my client’s most valuable asset.
I truly love what I do; helping couples find that perfect place to start a family, finding a family a larger home now that their children are teenagers, or my specialty, helping couples my age transition into the next stage of their lives. All of it gives me a deep sense of satisfaction.
I have found Charleston to be the perfect setting for my career. I don’t think there is anything I don’t like about Charleston. It’s a great place to raise a family, pursue a career, build a business, or simply retire to the beach or golf course.
With over thirty years experience in real estate, I joined William Means in March of 2004 in search of an experienced team of like minded professionals. My fellow agents at William Means are people I am proud to work with. Our affiliation with Christie’s International gives me the support and resources I need to offer the very best service to my clients. I have been involved in luxury real estate throughout my career and have established a group of clients who recommend me to their friends and family.
My list of sold properties ranges from Lowndes Grove Plantation that sold in 2007 for $6,500,000 to a small duplex on Duncan Street with a sales price of $325,000. I have closed 44 properties since March of 2004, for a total of $43,000,000 with an average sales price of over $1,000,000.
Don’t get me wrong, I still dabble with my art and can turn out a pretty good meal, but, it’s pretty clear to me that I’m much better at selling Charleston real estate.

georgeread@williammeans.com
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.

Testimonial
Over 8 years ago, when we were just beginning to explore the real estate market in Charleston, we met Georgia Bell at a condo open house we happened upon. Since then, with her assistance, we've purchased 2 properties for personal use in the Low Country.
We do not live in South Carolina, so it was important that we be working with an agent who could handle those extra demands. Georgia always found time for us when we came to town, patiently listened to what we were looking for, shared information about properties that piqued our interest, and secured appointments for the ones we wanted to see.
It didn't matter that our "dream home" kept changing - condo vs. detached, in town vs. suburban, historic district vs. waterfront. Georgia was patient through it all, offered opinions when asked, and took the time to get to know us so she could better help us find the perfect place. And after we found it, Georgia was right there through the offering process, due diligence, inspections, and closing. Every question and concern was addressed and answered and there were no surprises at closing.
Georgia is the consummate real estate professional. She knows the Low Country market inside and out and knows the people to call to get things done. She has boundless energy and patience and no request is too much to ask. Georgia is truly interested in each and every client - she listens to what they say, makes herself available, and helps make the whole process less stressful and scary. Georgia is a wonderful ambassador for Charleston and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone considering buying real estate in the Low Country.

“By God Woodrow, it ain’t dying I’m talking about – it’s living.” As the credits rolled following the epic saga of Lonesome Dove, these words would be forever engraved on McLain’s heart. Armed with this adage, he spent his youth paddling whitewater in Utah, ranching in Colorado and guiding hikes in the mountains of New Mexico. He’s done a lot of living. Born in Tallahassee, Florida but completely enamored with Charleston, his travels ended here.
As a graduate of Clemson University, McLain decided to throw his biology degree to the wind, and pursue a more relational industry. With a quick smile and genuine manner, he joined the Bear Lake Reserve sales team in the mountains of North Carolina where he excelled in resort real estate sales. In his time at Bear Lake he was responsible for 29.4% of developer sales on a seven member team, twice his share.
While he prefers general real estate to developer sales for its lasting client relationships, his experience at Bear Lake sets him apart in our market – McLain is a trained prospector who relies on consistent pursuit of new leads and unmatched follow-up to sell your home. “Sit and hope” is not part of his plan.

Soon after graduating from Queens University in Charlotte, NC, I was encouraged by Marilyn Hartley to obtain my real estate license and come to work for her part time. For the next 23 years, I worked for Marilyn whenever I lived in Charlotte.
Although my primary focus was to raise my sons and support my husband, I have always maintained an active real estate license. I’ve assisted friends and acquaintances to find their houses (as well as moving myself a dozen times). It gave me a thrill to help someone make their most important investment, and I took pride in finding them the perfect house. I further found the renovation of my own homes aided me in assisting others in their home search. These experiences enabled me to offer suggestions for improvements that would turn a house they really liked into the home they were seeking.
In North Carolina, I was actively involved in my communities and churches. In addition to all the schools my boys attended, some of my favorite causes were Lincolnton Cultural Center, The Mint Museum of Charlotte and The Children's Theater of Charlotte. I was a member at Myers Park Presbyterian Church, First Presbyterian Church, St Paul’s Episcopal Church and Christ Episcopal Church.
I grew up in Greensboro, NC with my parents and a younger brother. Both of my parents are still living there. My brother and his family live in Charlotte NC as does my adult son who followed my footsteps into the real estate industry and sells industrial commercial real estate. I currently reside in Mount Pleasant with my husband and my two pugs.

She worked as a designer at the former By the Yard, known now as GDC, and with Lord and Evans Designs completing the Ocean Front Condominiums at Folly Beach before entering the real estate field.
Sara began her real estate career with William Means in 1999, working downtown learning the nuances of the business and previewing beautiful historic homes. She left when she had the unique opportunity to sell new homes and custom-home lots in the then-emerging I’On neighborhood. She enjoyed working with the builders, developers and the design team helping the community evolve from just a handful of homes to over 700 fine residences. I’On has won national acclaim for excellence in traditional neighborhood design and remains a favorite place to work, live, shop and play. During her seven years on site Sara’s sales topped $70,000,000. Sara’s extensive familiarity with Mt. Pleasant, her experience selling a full range of new, historic and custom homes, and her eye for design win her tremendous loyalty among her clients.
Sara married her husband, Bobby Downing, in 1972. They have two children and two grandchildren. While living in Columbia, Sara was a member of the Forest Lake Country Club, Eastminster Presbyterian Church and the Junior League. In Charleston, she enjoys reading, fishing and visiting with her family at their old cottage at Land’s End, near Beaufort.

A day on the water with Scott Baugh reveals his secret to happiness. His delight in the coastal lifestyle is obviously natural. He was fortunate to enjoy a glorious childhood on the coast and remain there once forging a career, first managing coastal resort sales and next creating golf course communities in the Carolinas and Mississippi. Scott then moved into real estate and worked his way up to broker-in-charge for a specialized boutique firm. Scott's experience in golf course development and exceptional accomplishments in real estate as a young executive are surprisingly insignificant to him. His deep joy comes from helping others achieve their real estate dreams.
A finance graduate of the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina, Scott perpetually analyzes investment opportunities. Through continuous market research, careful attention to detail and perseverance in introducing people to the lifestyles they were born to lead, Scott has turned many of his clients into lifelong friends. And, his ability to discern investment value often earns repeat business.
Raised on the South Carolina coast, Scott is an avid golfer, boater and surfer. And, thanks to the persuasive guidance of his young children, is becoming quite the sand castle sculptor! He has traveled our beautiful country extensively, but brought his family to Charleston and Daniel Island because they represent the highest quality of life in America.
