Meet Nancy Bryant
 |
Born in Montclair, NJ, Nancy was raised in Charlotte, NC, and vacationed in the Charleston area for 25 years prior to moving here in 1998. She graduated from the University of Georgia and entered into hospitality sales. She began her career with Hyatt Hotels and Resorts and was a member of the Kiawah Island Golf Resort Sales Team from 1998 until 2010. During her tenure at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, Nancy participated in the pre-sell and opening phases of The Sanctuary Hotel as Director of Northeast Sales. She received her real estate license in 2007 and joined the Akers Ellis team in 2010. While she is very knowledgeable with all areas of the Lowcountry, her specialty is high end listings on Kiawah. Nancy and her husband Mike live on James Island, are active with the Lowcountry Lab Rescue, and enjoy the beach, boating, and traveling.

Currently the Multiple Listing Service has 122 homes, villas or cottages and 34 lots listed for sale on Kiawah Island. Our market is improving and the absorption rate of the current inventory is 28.6 months, which is down from 49.8 months in February 2010. In comparison, this rate was 6.8 months in July 2005. Based on current sales, we are pacing about 25% ahead of last year and we expect this number to increase as we go into the spring.
