Get to know Brenda: Brenda Smith grew up in Charlotte, NC. She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and went on to become a high school teacher. She later moved to New Hampshire where the Smith Family owned and operated a five-star resort hotel. After years vacationing on Hilton Head Island, the Smiths decided to make it home.

Real estate philosophy: "The most important thing I can do is listen," said Brenda. "Buying or selling real estate is one of the biggest decisions of your life. Choosing a real estate agent is probably the most important component in the decision making process. Select a Realtor who knows the island, has a comprehensive understanding of the local real estate market, and will listen to YOUR needs and desires.
