About Deborah
For over 25 years, I have been dedicated to making homeownership a reality, most recently helping more than 185 clients find their dream homes in the beautiful Lowcountry. I would be thrilled to assist you next! My expertise spans various aspects of real estate, with a specialization in relocation, new home construction, and golf course communities across South Carolina. I am deeply passionate about guiding people toward their housing goals while using clear and fast communication. As an Ohio native, I understand the intricacies of buying and selling homes across state lines, having navigated the market from Ohio to Arizona and now to South Carolina. Building on a lifelong passion for education, I spent a decade teaching high school Spanish in Ohio, Arizona, and South Carolina. For me, teaching was not just about language; it was about immersing students in a rich culture. I had the joy of taking students to Spain and Costa Rica several times, where we focused on community service and cultural exchange by living with local families. This experience honed my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly, guide others through important decisions, and maintain patience and adaptability, skills that now serve my real estate clients well. On a personal note, I humbly admit that my own home-buying experiences have been influenced by my love for my dogs. Our move from Ohio to Arizona was inspired by the desire for a better quality of life, ensuring that our senior dogs could enjoy water therapy in our backyard with their own pool. Later, when relocating to Bluffton to be closer to family, I kept our two mini Australian Shepherds in mind, searching for properties where they could run and play freely. I hold both undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Cincinnati, graduating Summa Cum Laude. I received the "Education Student of the Year" and "Outstanding Achievement in Spanish" awards from UC. I strive for excellence in every endeavor, driven by my father’s belief that "your reputation is everything." This principle guides me in my commitment to achieving the best for my clients. It would be an honor to assist you with your housing needs. My motto is, "My work, your reward." My husband, Doug, and I have been married for over 25 years and share our home in Riverton Pointe with our two mini Aussies. I am also an avid golfer and serve on the Women’s Golf Association board. Let’s work together to make your homeownership dreams a reality!

Trish and Doug Weaver helped us find our dream home!

Trish and Doug Weaver helped us find our dream home!

Trish and Doug Weaver helped us find our dream home, by listening to us, staying engaged and following through on every promise. Everyone you meet on HHI seems to be a realtor, but this team set themselves apart as real "Pros" by the following: -Always honest, acting with integrity, even with bad news. - Data driven, comprehensive understanding of the local market. - Robust network on the island in the profession that they were able to leverage. - Acting with both agility and grit to put us in best position with the seller in a tight market. - Attention to every detail, recognizing that details really matter. Trish and Doug went out of their way to accommodate the fact that we were trying to accomplish the task of buying our dream home from a remote location. They took the extra steps necessary, without complaint or hesitation whether it be endless video walkthroughs, or organizing the closing across several states. Finally, the Weavers continued to accommodate us as remote clients after the close by helping us with our house keys, and so much more, all of which was above and beyond the call of duty as realtors.

Hail, Mary, full of grace !

Hail, Mary, full of grace !

Mary Amonitti is by far the best realtor I have worked with. This review is being written by someone from the northeast where, frankly, the real estate market can be draconian. I was prepared to slog it out with predatory realtors, counter offers, having to pay over asking price, and hunger games style shenanigans. I needed to find a nice-ish property for myself and my family to be able to spend time in the low country with my aging, elderly parents who may need some more family support form time to time. Finding a genuinely intuitive, professional realtor was a big ask. Mary's tag line is "here to serve." She is true to her words. She not only was able to get a good sense of what I needed after interviewing myself and my family, but she seemed to be in the know about nicer properties not necessarily front and center on my own internet research. Actually, she found the right location and property first try! She is savvy, sophisticated, nuanced, and relatable to all. She is well connected to and embedded in the HHI real estate market and was able to connect me to her professional network which made finding local mortgage lenders, insurance agents, service provers, and inspectors easy. And guess what? Like Mary, her industry professional contacts were all kind, ethical, straight-up folk who were able to move mountains to ensure a positive outcome. EWR and HPN to SAV and HHH here we come! Thank you, Mary. You were indeed a godsend. I cannot thank you or praise you enough for all that you have done for my family. Forget all those other lazy, predatory, and greedy realtors. MARY AMONITTI IS THE REAL DEAL! To all those looking at homes on Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Hamptons, Jersey Shore, Rehoboth, and the Outer Banks consider HHI- with Mary's help, of course!

The Best Agent for Relocating! Highly Recommend Katie Bruno!

The Best Agent for Relocating! Highly Recommend Katie Bruno!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Katie Bruno during our relocation from Colorado to f! Moving across the country is incredibly stressful, but Katie mad the entire process seamless. From our very first interaction, it was clear that she is a truly caring professional who puts her clients first. Her communication was fantastic, which was critical for us being so far away. She was incredibly proactive in finding our home, always staying one step ahead. Katie has deep knowledge of the Bluffton area, providing the local insights we desperately needed. She constantly went the extra mile to ensure we were taken care of every step of the way. If you are relocating or buying locally, we cannot recommend Katie enough!

Rapid response and great advice

Tom and Lorrie were quick to respond to any questions or requests. They were invaluable when it came to providing counsel during the initial negotiation and thereafter. We were dealing with a difficult seller, and they never lost sight of the goal - securing our new home at a reasonable price.
