Hollace Savage has over 20 years sales experience. Her first job was at Whaley’s – when it was a grocery and the only gas station on the beach. Each summer held new opportunities: working at Fairfield, The Pavillion, the hardware store, and the bank. Edisto and its people held a special place in her heart and after college, she made it home. She is a consistent multi-million dollar producer and a Realtor of Distinction. She is active in island life with her husband, two daughters and their bike/laundry business and many church activities. Call or email Hollace to find your Edisto get-a-way at edistosavage@hotmail.com.

Although originally from Greenville, South Carolina, Patrick Erwin's love for Edisto - and subsequent passion for real estate here - began early as he spent the summers creating cherished memories with his grandfather, David Lybrand, founder of Edisto Sales & Rental Realty.

From casting lines in the island’s serene creeks to marching in the annual Fourth of July parade, Patrick’s time here and deep-rooted connection to both Edisto and his grandfather profoundly shaped him into the man, and real estate agent, he is today. Over the years, Patrick considered Edisto to be his home-away-from-home, and after spending a year post-grad in Raleigh, he is confident in his decision to establish Edisto Island as his primary and permanent residence through his partnership with Edisto Realty.

Patrick graduated from Clemson in 2022 with a management degree and concentration in business analytics and is eager to help you and your family find the perfect home on the beloved shores of Edisto.

Jim Peurifoy is originally from Walterboro, S.C. and has been involved with real estate most of his life. Jim’s father, Johnny, Sr. owned a construction business and built many homes at EdistoBeach during the 1950’s through the 1980’s including homes for his brother, Johnny, Jr. and his Uncle Paul, so Edisto Beach became Jim’s second home.

Graduating from the University of South Carolina in 1984 with a degree in Geology, Jim worked as an geological consultant, Lowcountry District geologist and finally began his own geological consulting business which has operated successfully since 1996. Licensed as a SC General Contractor, real estate has always been a focus of much of Jim’s work and he has experience in a wide variety of real estate issues.

Jim and his wife Kim have four children, Brad, Anna, Kallie and Allyson. In his spare time, Jim enjoys hiking, boating, working on real estate, and just about anything outdoors.

Charles Yeomans first got the salt water of Edisto in his veins in the early 1980's. Ever since then, he has enjoyed all that Edisto has to offer, from the people and community to the fishing and beautiful surroundings.

A pre-law graduate from The Citadel, Charles began his real estate career on the Charleston peninsula. As an avid outdoorsman, Charles began his own guide business, Single Shot Guide Service which operates charters out of Edisto Beach and Lowcountry hunting nearby. Being a local guide, Charles knows the area and its waterways like the back of his hand.

He has been married to his wife, Laura, since 2011 and they have a son, Charlie, who is growing up loving this special place we call Edisto.
