Close to the gate

Southside Savannah and Georgetown sit minutes from the Hunter gate, so a short commute is realistic even with Savannah traffic. I help you weigh proximity against the neighborhood you actually want to live in.

City living or island calm

Hunter's location opens up the whole Savannah area: historic Midtown and Ardsley Park, the quiet of Wilmington and Whitemarsh Islands, or newer homes out in Pooler. One base, very different lifestyles.

Schools families ask for

Chatham County and the island schools are the ones Hunter families ask about most. If zoning matters to you, I will map listings to the schools you want before you fall for a house.

Resale that protects your next PCS

Savannah is a steady market with constant military turnover, which helps resale when your next orders come. Buying with resale in mind protects your equity for the move after this one.

In Alex's words

“A family reporting to Hunter found me late, with the clock running on their report date. We ran the search by video, locked a Southside home minutes from the gate, and closed before they ever set foot in Savannah. You do not have to be here yet to buy right.”
