Beth recently helped us purchase a vacation/future retirement home in Surfside Beach. We were very pleased with her services and would definitely use her again if we were to ever buy or sell in SC and would recommend her to others. 10/18/2013

We have bought and sold several homes in the past and our experience with Beth Ross was by far the most pleasant! She is professional, very knowledgeable and always quick to respond to emails or phone calls. We always felt as if our needs were important to her and she never made us feel as if she were just "trying to sell us as house" Instead we ended up with our HOME and will live here forever! She has to be the hardest working agent in this area, truly a caring person and recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home. 04/07/2015

My name is Cynthia Parlet and my husband and I bought a house and sold a house with Gerri. The second one will close on the 19th. The second lookers bought it immediately. I met Gerri at the beach and we started talking. Gerri and her hubby are wonderful people and we would always use her again. I will also refer everyone looking for a home to Gerri. She is an excellent real estate agent. Gerri makes sure you have a copy of everything and that it is signed and done properly. She goes beyond protecting you on all levels. She keeps you advised of ever issue, explains everything and is on top of it. Appointments are always set through Gerri and feedback is given quickly. I can not say enough good about Gerri Hutchings and Carolina Pines Realty.

We worked with Carmen Lankford for our retirement home purchase in June 2021. The journey started well before June though, and, since we were living in Virginia, the market being hot, and trying to buy in Pawleys Island, we knew we needed a true professional who is on top of things. Carmen did not disappoint, her knowledge of the area as she was raised in SC was very helpful to us, she went above and beyond to assist with our purchase, answering texts and calls, driving to Pawleys to take photos so we could see the progress of our build. We highly recommend Carmen to anyone who is looking for a great realtor.

Mrs. Beth was our "miracle". Without her we would have been like two fish out of water. No matter what time of day or night I called upon her she was right there. Mrs. Beth went above and beyond her duties to help us out. She faxed so many papers to our lender day after day and printed copies for us because we didn't have a computer. You will never go wrong with Mrs. Beth by your side 05/25/2014

From the moment I met Steven (and Whitney) I felt like I was important to them, and they understood and appreciated that I was picky! They did not rush me or try to get me to commit to a home that I didn't love. They were willing to show me any home I was interested in, and consistently searched for homes to recommend to me. My favorite moment was when Steven looked at me at the last house (the one I bought) and said, this is my job--not to find someone a house, but to find them a home, and this is your home.

Minna was a wonderful agent and person... The process of dealing with us from another state required a lot more coordination with services here then would be normal. Gerri Hutchings was our original agent and recommended Minna when Gerri fell ill. I give both agents a five star rating. We moved over 30 times and this was our toughest one. Minna made it happen!

Wayne is an amazing realtor and fantastic person. My husband and I enjoyed working with him and he did an incredible job finding a ton of properties that really fit what we were looking for. I felt as though Wayne really listened to what we wanted and delivered. Thanks so much Wayne, we are in love with the new place we call home! Lisa and Chris Lee

Carmen is a fantastic realtor! She is so easy going and willing to help with whatever she can. She helped my husband and I purchase our home in Conway and recently helped my mom with finding a home down here from Jersey. Highly recommend using Carmen as your realtor whether you are looking to buy or sell.

We were truly blessed when we went online and chose Carolina Pines Realty to find us a home. We worked with the owner – Beth Ross. We had to find a home quickly because ours had sold and it was quick closing. They listened to our requests and took us to homes that fit our criteria . Beth and her team have the qualities that all Realtors should have but few do - patience , understanding about a clients needs, that a client is probably going through a joyful time to buy a new home but that it can also be stressful and above all they listen to what you want in a new home. They helped us through the entire process and handled it with honesty and integrity . We have been in our new home now for two weeks and we have had many questions about the area, since we were from out of state, such as a locksmith, heating and air conditioning company, doctors, etc. Our calls were always returned and they gave us a few to choose from and has not steered us wrong. Beth loves her profession and it shows !!!! Do yourself a big favor if you are looking for a Realtor and give Carolina Pines Realty a call or stop in their office, her staff and agents are as nice as she is. Take it from one who knows, I used to sell Real estate in the Pittsburgh area and I wish I had been half as good as they are. Beth and her team is what all Realtors should aspire to be.

Beth Ross and David Mannen also sold my home. Every time I had a question they would get back to me that day. They answered every question we had and put our mind in ease. I would highly recommend Carolina Pines for your Real Estate needs.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Minna French for all of her assistance in finding our new home in South Caroline. It was a long process, but she always was professional, prepared, replied to our inquires in a timely manner and proactive in gathering data for us. She took the time to know us and what we were looking for. With all of her help, we found our home and are ready to start our second phase of life. It was a pleasure working with her and I wish that all agents would be like her. We are trying to sell our home in CT and we wish she was here to help us. We got spoiled with all of her assistance and knowledge. Minna, thank you again. You were wonderful and thank you for all your suggestions on about places that we can visit. I will recommend you to anyone that is looking for a real estate broker.
