I chose Jeff Raines and he helped to prepare a market analysis on our acreage property and I listed with him due to his knowledge he had of area. He kept me informed of everything going on and let me personally know when we had an offer in 3 months after listing! You won't be disappointed with him!

Jeff Raines was a pleasure to work with from our very first meeting to the closing of our sale. He is an excellent appraiser of property, excellent marketer of property, answers inquiries immediately, is always ready to show the property, and was honest and transparent in his communications with us. We really appreciate him! Five Stars

Jeff and Low Country handled the listing and sale of our home. He was always there for us checking on the residence and making sure that we were informed about the showings and offers as our sale unfolded. We were out of state during much of this process and Jeff made sure that access to the home to any service folks we had scheduled was accomplished. Any questions we had during the process were addressed and updates were a common place. He held our hands as we went through the negotiation process and then from that point to the closing. We really appreciated his efforts and professional manner

Jeff Raines can best be described as the "consummate professional" and the "best I have encountered in the real estate business". He puts the client first at all times. He and his company possess the marketing infrastructure to maximize your property listing exposure, worldwide if necessary. He brought multiple offers to us in a timely, qualitative way, offering insights to us as to considerations beyond just the selling price. We were ultimately able to finalize the sale to buyers whose values and plans for the property were totally consistent those of my wife and me. I can truly say that Jeff
