Born and raised in Syracuse, NY, (Tippary Hill) Dianne, Adam and their two children moved to Hilton Head in 1988 due to a sale of a family owned custom die cast business. That brought them to the Island but the friendly people, sub-tropical climate and Low Country amenities persuaded them to stay. “We really love the outdoors, beach, bike and walking paths, golf, tennis, etc. and would have a hard time moving back into all that cold and snow.” We feel fortunate to be able to transfer our skills of running a high quality business with all the various management tasks to running a successful real estate team. We take price in providing “Hassle Free Professional Real Estate Services.”
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Dianne has been on the President’s Distinguished Honor Roll for over 15 years, received the Distinguished Sales Award, Sea Island Broker Council Beyond Excellence, RE/MAX 100% Club, and serves on the Community Service Committee, Professional Standards Committee, Relay for Life, Habitat for Humanity, several committees at the Country Club of Hilton Head including the Board of Governors and others. She is committed to working hard for you, listening to your needs and enjoys volunteering in the community.
PROFESSIONAL OUTLOOK
Real Estate is a very interesting and challenging field. Since we sell in a resort community, property values are quite different. Remember the Location...Location...Location.... phrase, well it’s particularly true in this community. From small homes & villas to oceanfront properties, I will treat you like family and find the best property to fit your criteria. I have a long list of satisfied clients who continue to supply me with referrals.
I truly love what I do....making dreams come true. From Sea to Tee...Sea Pines to Sun City...Selling Low Country Lifestyles...One Property at a Time.
Enthusiasm, energy and a love for Hilton Head Island - its people and lifestyle - are evident in every area of Jacque Johnson’s life. Having moved to Hilton Head in 1992, Jacque and her family enjoy all the marvelous activities which abound on Hilton Head Island from golfing to tennis and most of all boating and running. Living by the Atlantic Seashore captured a special need in Jacque many years ago to be by the water. Often it raises awareness about this need in others.
Water. Why do we spend our days trying to get there? To the Beach, To a Bay, To a Boat? So, why is it that views of the water are so prized, so coveted? Is it the breeze, the sand, or the slow setting sun? Or, that we’re just trying to hold on to something that slips so quickly from our grasp? “At Home By The Water” on Hilton Head Island can fulfill the mystery that’s part of this desire to be near the water.
WHY BUY NOW?
If you have been sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the perfect time to buy, that time is NOW! Prices are forecasted to be lower in 2007 and begin to rise again in 2008 – Kiplinger, 02/23/07
Selection is Excellent: With more available properties on the market, finding just the right one hasn’t been this easy in decades.
Mortgage Rates are at Historical Lows: Rates are currently at extremely attractive levels giving buyers more ability to leverage. As of now, the average 30 year fixed rate is less than 6.5%.
Hilton Head Is A “Safe Harbour”: Hundreds of millions of dollars have already been invested in the Island’s infrastructure and amenities creating a world class destination. Careful planning and diligent care has made our Island a very special place that’s unique throughout the world. Lack of available land to develop will drive prices on existing properties.
Solid Real Estate Investment: The community offers an outstanding niche in the world-class oceanfront resort market because of superior land planning and design, overabundance of resort amenities – all on a subtropical island surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean.
Hilton Head Island is a controlled real estate market because of density restrictions of the Land Management Ordinance (LMO) and is virtually built out of developer inventory. Future inventory can only be generated from existing owners deciding to sell causing upward pressure on prices as demand will always outstrip supply.
When you compare oceanfront/ocean-oriented prices on the East Coast, Hilton Head Island represents exceptional value as we are moderately priced relative to world-class resorts we compete with. Many experts consider Hilton Head Island the finest land-planned oceanfront resort community in the country.
Family Enjoyment and Usage... Priceless: Hilton Head Island represents a wonderful opportunity for families to have a quality time and relaxing moments together and yet have an outstanding real estate investment that will enhance their investment portfolio. Invest in your family’s lifestyle and future...today. Enjoy the community and the “quality of life” while your investment works for you. Escape to tranquility on your island paradise and leave your stress behind.
Spectacular Weather: Subtropical climate, four seasons and mild winters.
WHY BUY NOW? The perfect time... and the perfect community!

RE/MAX Realtor Leslie Ford wants to find you a home, and she understands the decision can be both thrilling and stressful. To alleviate the stress, she employs technology to give her clients peace of mind about their purchase. Each of Leslie’s clients has access to their own personal Web page, created after their initial meeting. Leslie calls this “customized automation” which tailors current inventory to their real estate preferences. “They narrow it down as much as possible,” she said. Once established, clients can log on 24 hours a day to view an updated list of properties based on the Web site owner’s criteria. Email alerts are also sent when new listings are posted. Some of Leslie’s clients use their site to watch the market and home prices over a period of time prior to purchasing. “It’s a benefit for busy professionals,” added Leslie. “I want to get you your best deal. I’ve had many sales in the past two years since we introduced the technology and my clients absolutely love it.”
Community Involvement:
Leslie is from North Carolina and a graduate of Texas Christian University. She spent her youthful summers on the Carolina coast, never imagining she would spend her life introducing others to the coastal lifestyle. In addition to being a successful REALTOR, she is an ardent volunteer serving previously on the local PTA and with the Boy Scouts of America. She currently works as a volunteer with the Coastal Carolina Arts Center and is a Parks & Recreation Commissioner for Hilton Head Island. “I hold the Island near and dear to my heart,” she says. “I want to give back to the community that has given so much to my family. This has been a wonderful place to live, work and raise my family. My husband, Greg and I are extremely blessed!” Staying connected to the community gives her insight into the market, burgeoning areas and untold opportunities. “My job is to try to help you with what you want,” she adds.

We all know these are tough times! Owners need solutions, not excuses, for their properties to sell. Here are some ideas I’ve given clients:
#1 Pricing: Serious Sellers are moving their homes, lots, and villas with proper pricing.
#2 Creativity: I have several owners willing to trade, which can raise equity for both parties and move a property slow to sell.
#3 Experience and Success: It is critical during these tough times to work with the top agents, and not the friend of a friend. Work with the best!
