My goal is to be your trusted resource and to help guide you in making the best decisions, whether buying a new home or selling an existing home while making the process enjoyable and free of stress and helping to negotiate for the best possible terms to ensure your real estate goals become a reality.

I work with honesty and integrity to develop long-lasting relationships with each of my clients, and I never takes for granted the level of trust bestowed on me throughout the home buying or selling process. “My unwavering goal is to always exceed my client’s expectations and to deliver exemplary service while making the real estate transaction an enjoyable experience.” The ultimate reward of my profession has been the gift of having my clients become her dear friends, and I cannot wait to expand these friendships even further in the Charleston area and the neighboring Sea Islands!

When I am not working, I love exploring the Lowcountry. In my spare time I can likely be found paddling around on my kayak in search of dolphins or native birds, trying a new restaurant or brewery, or strolling around and exploring the hidden treasures of Seabrook Island or the Peninsula. If there is a secret garden or alleyway to be found, or a section of lovely marsh to be discovered, I am sure to be on the hunt and welcome you to join me with open arms!

Testimonials

“We would not have bought a house on Seabrook Island without the knowledge and relentlessness of Amanda. As an out of state buyer, Amanda tirelessly delivered all of the photos, videos, and inside information to us without even having to ask. We felt 100% confident in placing our trust in Amanda to be our eyes and ears on the ground. When we did find “the one” Amanda’s connections with local contractors and other vendors proved extremely valuable in helping us along the home buying process. Amanda will be a lifelong agent for us and our friends looking in the Charleston area.”

“Amanda provided exceptional expertise and service in our real estate transaction. Her professional advice in drafting our offer was instrumental in the sellers' selection of our offer out of seven other offers submitted within 24 hours of the property being placed on the market. From the first telephone contact during which Amanda shared a breadth of knowledge about revenues and costs associated with the potential real estate investment, it was evident that she would lend a clear advantage as our agent in a highly competitive market. Throughout the process from showings to closing, her preparation made the transaction seamless.”

"I had an amazing experience with Amanda. This was my first home purchase and she made it as seamless as a purchase could go. She took the time to get to know me and helped me find the perfect location that would fit my needs and a beautiful home in such a friendly little neighborhood. She took the time to answer all of my MANY questions and kept me informed every step of the way. She was very knowledgeable and informative. It was an amazing experience and I recommend her to everyone I know looking to buy or sell."

"Amanda helped me purchase a new lot on Seabrook Island. The process was efficient mainly because Amanda is a great listener and was focused on showing properties that fit my wants. She is knowledgeable about the local real estate market and incredibly prompt in identifying new listings. As I move forward in building a house on the property, Amanda has been my guide and I am appreciative of her professionalism, warm personality and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a property on Seabrook Island."

"We recently worked with Amanda on the purchase of our first vacation home on SBI and could not have been more pleased with our experience! From day one Amanda proved to be extremely sensitive to our thoughts and plans and really helped us find the ideal home for our needs. One of the things that struck us the most was her knowledge of the island and its many individual Villa & Townhome communities which surprised us even though we have been visiting the island for many years. She was professional, responsive, & thorough in helping us navigate the processes of purchasing a home on SB and she made the remote purchase process a breeze which was terrific as we are not local to the Island. We would not hesitate to recommend Amanda to our friends and family and will certainly look to her when it is time to purchase our next home on SBI."

"Amanda had contacted me about 5 years ago to see if I wanted to sell my James Island town home. She continued to follow up consistently until I decided it was time to sell. She did an outstanding job of helping us to get the home ready for sale, looking at the market and setting an asking price before the home went on the market and she made sure the house was ready to go. When the house went on the market, it only took 2 days to sell. She kept in contact with the realtors and when the buyer backed out, she had a ready buyer the same day. Overall she made the process a very easy one from our perspective (we were out of state owners) and did an outstanding job getting us more than the asking price. We would definitely recommend her, if you are selling a property. She knows the area and market and I am sure would do the same outstanding job if you are looking to buy a home."

“If you're in the Charleston area and need a reliable, personable, and knowledgeable guide to buying or selling a home, look no further than Amanda Benepe. Above and beyond would be an understatement. We were under contract for a difficult property - a fixer upper with challenges. Amanda did hours and hours and research, and made sure we had protection within our contract verbiage in case things went awry. Well things went awry. This could have been a huge disaster, but Amanda stuck by and with us and we moved on to finding our next property together.

While having pretty specific wants/needs and a modest budget for James Island she set out to find us our dream home near the ocean. We'd been looking for a home remotely as we are not from the area. Amanda sent us well-done videos of each home and video chatted us when it was needed. We looked at countless homes through Amanda's lens during a time when homes were only on the market for a couple days if you were lucky.

She did so much work without complaint, without judgment, and was the key to helping us finally end up in the most perfect neighborhood with a home that we adore. An added plus is that she is exceptionally nice, professional and just a really great human to do business with.

We're so lucky we were able to work with her on this journey and would recommend Amanda to anyone that we know in the Charleston area looking to buy or sell any property.”
