Alison Smith

Fripp Island holds a special place in my heart, where I grew up vacationing and creating lasting memories. Today, my husband and I continue this tradition with our two children, savoring the coastal lifestyle of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Although I'm originally from Augusta, Georgia, we’ve always dreamed of calling this area home. After years of visiting Fripp Island, we made that dream a reality by purchasing a townhome on the Beaufort River and are currently building our forever home on Polawana Island.

As a family, we enjoy everything Beaufort has to offer—from boating to sandbars with our two black labs, to exploring the vibrant local culture and community events. Now, as recent empty nesters with daughters at the University of South Carolina and The College of Charleston, our love for the Lowcountry only grows stronger.

I’m passionate about helping others discover the magic of Fripp Island and the surrounding Beaufort area. Whether you're looking for a vacation home, an investment property, or your forever home, my approach is personalized to meet your specific goals. With a strong focus on building relationships based on trust and integrity, I’m dedicated to making your real estate experience seamless and rewarding.
Let’s work together to turn your dreams of coastal living into a reality!

She can be trusted to give you “truthful “ answers that are so appreciated when an offer is made. We most definitely would use her again if the need arises. She’s Great!"

"If I needed to buy or sell a home, I would use Leslie. She helped us sell our home in a timely manner. She made the whole process so easy. Leslie was very knowledgeable, so helpful, readily available and gave the most excellent advice. Because we were doing this sale from a long distance she kept us up-to-date and well informed. I highly recommend her."

"We recently purchased a vacation home on Fripp Island in July. We live four hours away and Leslie helped us with every aspect of this purchase. We can’t say enough about her thoroughness, helping us get in contact with the right people, answering our many questions, and staying on top of things when it looked like our bank was not going to close on time. It was a joy to have her as our real estate agent and someone who we felt we could call long after our purchase had been made. Would highly recommend it!"

"Leslie Mitchell was helpful, knowledgeable, and accessible. When we called or texted, she responded quickly. She stayed with us through the entire process and recommended people to help with electrical, plumbing, and maintenance for the house. We have remained in contact with Leslie, and she continues to help us get acclimated to the area, suggesting local places to purchase furniture, home items, and golf carts. She has gone above and beyond her duties, and we appreciate everything she has done for us."

I would highly recommend Leslie to anyone looking to purchase a home on Fripp Island."

"I have been personally involved in well over a hundred real estate “deals" in the past 50 years. This purchase, from the first text to Heather, through closing, has to be the smoothest transaction I have ever made! After finding a lot that sparked my interest, I contacted Heather and asked her to look into the details. After a very short period of time, she was back in touch with everything I needed in order to make an offer. She proposed the offer and the seller accepted. Heather was quick to accurately act and react in all efforts during the process. Due to a “1031 exchange" deadline, we had to close within a month. Heather handled all communications with the other realtor involved, the attorney (recommended by her), and the other Fripp entities, which made my involvement simple. Everything that had to be done was done and “closed” in less than 30 days! I will highly recommend Heather and for sure use her services for any of our coastal real estate dreams."

"When our family decided it was time to seriously look at buying a home on Fripp Island, we were fortunate to connect with Leslie Mitchell. She was so responsive and professional. We learned of a home that went on the market the Thursday before a holiday weekend. We travelled to Fripp on Friday and Leslie showed us the home twice over the weekend. We made a successful offer promptly and headed into closing. The amount to paperwork and detailed issues for a closing can be daunting! Leslie was super helpful to us over this process. Her knowledge, experience and grace helped us glide through this process so smoothly. She was able to negotiate and resolve the bumps in the pathway with professional calm. We are thankful for her help and feel lucky to have had her on our side."
