Hello, we are Jerry & Lisa String, licensed Realtors in South Carolina.

Constant communication and accessibility allow us to successfully keep things on track. We are committed to offering the highest quality representation and I, Jerry, am a certified Luxury Home Specialist (CLHMS). Past clients say we communicate well, and go above and beyond to help and give personal attention throughout the entire process.
Our areas of expertise include Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island & the entire Myrtle Beach area. If your interests are golf, boating, fishing, beaches & 5 star restaurants then Coastal South Carolina is the place for you!

"I first called Jerry to view one of his listings. I was impressed with how much informationhe provided about the home and the area. He went out of his way to make it a smooth, easy transaction for me. Since then, he has helped buy and sell other properties and he has provided help that you just don't find in other RE agents. In addition, both Jerry and Lisa have become valued friends. If you like dealing honest and sincere people, Jerry and Lisa make a perfect team. Find out for yourself. You'll be glad you did!"

The Pawleys Island shell can be found while beachcombing our beautiful beaches. There is a walking/bike trail called the Waccamaw Neck Trail which extends from Pawleys Island all the way to Marshwalk in Murrells Inlet.
Best Views
Our orange sky sunsets over the Waccamaw River at Hagley Landing.
Pawleys Island is filled with hundred year old Live Oak trees draped with Spanish moss and resurrection ferns.
Why We Moved Here
The close proximity of the Atlantic Ocean and the Waccamaw River. The weather is great year round and we still get seasonal change. Our community is very neighborly and social. You can find a lot of festivals throughout the year. This area offers great fishing from the beach, jetties, creeks, river, and ocean fishing. The back bay creek offers flounder, speckled trout, red and black drum and sheepshead. Sport fishermen will find a huge Wahoo migration off the coast of SC up to 100 pounds. River fishing includes catfish and largemouth bass. On the weekends lots of folks go boating on the river and anchor up at Sandy Island which is a big cove. It's a great spot for just hanging out.
This area is known for The Legend of the Gray Man where his ghost appears when bad weather is coming through the area.
Also buying fresh shrimp and boiled peanuts out of pickups on the side of the road.
