Although the Hilton Head Island/Bluffton area is known as a retreat for golf enthusiasts, for many like Real Estate Agent, Mary Lynn Finn of Dunes Marketing Group, the draw to this part of the Lowcountry is its magnificent waterways and beaches.

Calibogue Sound and Broad Creek hold treasures for Mary Lynn, who spends time boating, fishing, crabbing, and shrimping.

“I love the water,” she says. Mary Lynn is also a boat captain in her own right. She holds a 50 Ton Masters License and can often be found navigating the waters of Broad Creek, Calibogue Sound, the Cooper River and the May River. “There is a whole other side of the world [in Hilton Head] that vacationers don’t know about. Most vacationers go to the Atlantic Ocean, of course, because of the beach.”

Before moving to Hilton Head 11 years ago, she was a realtor to the stars covering

Beverly Hills, Brentwood and the Pacific Palisades area of California. She moved to the Lowcountry to be closer to family and found that the inherent beauty was far more captivating than any other place she had lived.

Committed to bringing buyers and sellers together, Mary Lynn is available to her clients on their timetable. One client found her through her online listing at HomesandlandinHiltonHead.com.

“I was driving in my car. He asked if I could show a property now. I said absolutely.”

That meeting last June culminated into a sale that only recently closed. It was Mary Lynn’s enthusiasm and her commitment to “sticking with” her client until he found the perfect property that sealed the deal.

“I help to identify what my client really wants and I go after it in their best interest,” she says.

As a testament to her work, the client not only purchased a 3-bedroom oceanfront condo from her, he listed his current property, also oceanfront, with her as well.

What’s more her client is a seasoned real estate investor that owns many properties and has no doubt worked with dozens of agents through the years. He complimented her on her “level of energy to follow through.”

She is equally complimentary of her advertising in Homes & Land of Hilton Head and HomesandlandinHiltonHead.com.

Mary Lynn loves her work. “Helping people discover their dreams is a passion.”
