Chris Ely

Chris Ely is a luxury property specialist passionate about bringing the Lowcountry dream to as many people as possible. Knowledgeable, warm, and an exceptional listener, she maintains a laser focus on her clients’ needs and desires and works tirelessly to achieve their goals. Buyers and sellers alike go to Chris whether they are looking to discover a beachfront home, list a private island, or find a property in a private gated community.
 
“I want my clients to LOVE the Lowcountry as much as I do. I hope not to just sell you a home, but a lifestyle that fulfills your dreams.”
 
Clients and colleagues are quick to discover how much there is to learn about the Lowcountry and the real estate process when working with Chris. She is a dedicated real estate guide whose career experiences have given her a holistic perspective that sees a transaction from every angle. She worked with her husband in mortgage lending and managed regulatory compliance as an Administrative Coordinator. She led sales at condominium properties and has trained and onboarded new real estate agents. All of those roles bring added value to her clients. Highly motivated to build strong communities, her passion for the area is authentic and palpable. 
 
Born in Ohio, Chris was thirteen years old when her family introduced her to Bluffton and Hilton Head Island. She spent many of her formative teenage years playing with her sisters among moss-draped oaks and pristine white sand beaches. It was inevitable that she would eventually call the Lowcountry home, and in 2005 she made the move permanent. When not showing a property or working with industry professionals, she can most likely be found in Bluffton and Hilton Head. She enjoys participating in neighborhood social events, boating, tennis, golf, and spending quality time with her ten grandchildren.
