Stuart Rumph

Stuart Rumph and his family have been in Charleston for 16 generations. He grew up exploring Seabrook’s beaches and woods and as an avid fisherman and boater, Stuart knows every curve of every creek in and around Seabrook. This extra and unique knowledge has been extremely helpful in assisting clients to fulfill their dreams on Seabrook. His philosophy and work ethic along with integrity and in-depth community and marketing knowledge has always made working with clients easy. Seabrook Island is the only place he sells and when not working with clients can be found playing with his 5 children in the boat.

She has seen the development and growth of Seabrook Island from its early days and her deep knowledge of both real estate and life on Seabrook is invaluable to both her team and her clients. Patsy was fortunate enough to work with the top Seabrook Island agent during the ’90s and quickly became the top agent on Seabrook herself.

Chip Olsen
Real Estate Professional
Chip Olsen, a native New Yorker, spent 20 years in the Real Estate business including managing Commercial Real Estate offices in, Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, and Charleston before visiting Seabrook Island almost 7 years ago. We were looking for a future retirement home and after several trips to Charleston, not finding anything that felt right, a friend suggested Seabrook Island. After one drive around the Island, I looked at my wife and said “this is it.” Chip is an avid golfer, tennis player and loves to fly fish for redfish in and around Seabrook Island. Chip is a graduate of the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY.

TESTIMONIALS
"Stuart Rumph is the kind of person you can count on anytime of the day or week. Stuart has been our realtor for two purchases on Seabrook Island and in both cases, he went above and beyond the call of duty to provide us with exceptional service. In the first instance he took our call on Super Bowl Sunday and cleared his schedule for three days to show properties and ultimately close a deal for us. He was meticulous in pointing out potential assets and drawbacks and clearly explained the costs involved in owning property on Seabrook. In the second case, Stuart navigated a delicate situation between the sellers and us and ultimately found a solution conducive to both. He arranged for construction improvements to begin on our house the day after closing at a time when contractors were in very high demand. He even engaged his teenagers to help clear out items and debris the previous owners had left behind. Stuart is a great guy, and we absolutely recommend him without reservations." - RM and JWM
Patsy and Stuart (and their team) have been our family's choice for 30 years to represent us in real estate transactions on Seabrook Island. They have assisted us with the successful purchase and sale of four different properties over the years. With their experience and dedication to clients, you can trust them to do their very best for you. - KC and BC
My brother, sister and I decided to get a market evaluation just to see what our vacation home we owned together would be valued at. Over the years my wife and I had been to several open houses on Seabrook and had met Stuart and the team from Seabrook Realty. Stuart, Patsy and Chip all came and did a thorough assessment asking the right questions. More importantly they wanted to understand the family history of our father’s legacy of owning properties on the island for over 40 years. A lot of emotion and memories and they all understood that.
Stuart was quick to get back to me with an assessment of what he thought the house could sell for. We decided to list the house and also wanted Stuart to find us another property to buy. Our current property was in an LLC which we had on the rental program for the last three years. Stuart suggested we do an 1031 exchange to minimize the capital gains tax. He introduced us to an attorney who had expertise in 1031 exchanges. We wanted someone that was well connected in the market and Stuart definitely delivered on that account.
Stuart was able to find us a property to buy in a market where multi- family properties were selling before they were officially listed. It was a complicated transaction because of the strict guidelines that come with 1031 exchanges. We were also purchasing a property that was under construction.
Stuart navigated us through that period encouraging us to stay the course and be patient and the right buyer would come along. Stuart was spot on and the right buyer came and we sold above asking price. That allowed us to move forward with the new purchase.
Overall I can’t say enough about what a huge asset Stuart and his team was to work with. We felt so well taken care of. We all enjoyed the strong relationship we built with Stuart. Strong relationships are an important part of what makes him so successful at what he does. It definitely worked for us in making what can typically be a very stressful transaction to something that was extremely successful and satisfying. - JR It has been been a pleaseure dealing with the Seabrook Island Real Estate team over our 20+ years on the island. Stuart is always conscientious, courteous, and professional, delivering a level of expertise and personal touch above and far beyond all expectations. Stuart’s lifelong connection and love of the lowcountry has endeared us to this magical place, and we constantly rely on his astute real estate advice. - MR & IR
