About Harry Waddington, Broker Associate Island Realty of the Lowcountry Real Estate Beaufort South Carolina.
 Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Harry came south at the request of Uncle Sam. Harry spent four years as an officer in the US Navy and finished his active duty in Charleston, SC. Harry is a Vietnam Veteran having served two six-month tours in the South China Sea on the USS Enterprise, CVN 65.
Harry returned to Charleston to once again work for the Navy as a civilian and after six years joined a partnership in the Restaurant industry. Harry and his partners made the Colony House and Wine Cellar Restaurants the best that Charleston had to offer at the time.
Harry left the Partnership to return to the private club industry and completed a very successful career, serving in many leadership positions in the Club industry.
After private clubs, Harry decided to return to the business in which his family had been engaged for over 70 years, the Real Estate business. And the choice as to where to do that was an easy choice for him. Having spent 15 plus years in South Carolina and having traveled the state as President of the SC Restaurant Association, Beaufort was the obvious place to begin his new career.
Why Beaufort, you ask? Beaufort affords people the opportunity to enjoy the coastal life style without the bothersome traffic and commercial disruption one experiences in either Charleston or Savannah and without the inflated Real Estate prices experienced in other coastal communities. Harry says, "Beaufort is still a Bargain when it comes to Real Estate!"
Harry has bought and sold real estate throughout his life and he knows the meaning of good customer service. He believes that great service is the key to success. His customers know that too!
Harry believes that to be a good realtor, one must be a good listener. "You've got to be able to get inside your client's mind to determine exactly what he or she is looking for," Harry says. By spending extra time questioning prospective buyers, Harry is able to zero in on the important factors in determining which homes should be viewed. He has an uncanny ability to match the right buyer with the right home.
While Harry has focused mainly on being an Exclusive Buyer's Representative, he is also very familiar with representing sellers. His marketing strategy is actually quite simple. He believes that in a slow market a Realtor must do more. He can be quite creative in designing a successful strategy to market homes in any price category. He is with you before, during and after the sale! Harry proudly claims the ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative) Designation along with the title, Broker Associate.
For the "first-time" homebuyer, Harry will help clients through the mortgage, insurance and closing phases of the transaction. Harry is truly a Full-Service Real Estate Professional.
