John Lewis is originally from the upstate of South Carolina but knew one day he would make the Lowcountry his home. His love for the Bluffton/Hilton Head area was instilled in him while vacationing with his family every summer in various areas of Charleston, Beaufort and Hilton Head. His grandfather was born and raised in Bluffton and taught him to appreciate the peacefulness of the live oak trees covered in Spanish moss and the beauty of the marsh views.
He graduated from Spartanburg Methodist College and Francis Marion University with a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree in Marketing. He also received academic and baseball scholarships from both schools and played baseball all four years. His passion and competiveness on the field carries over to his professional life.
Prior to his full-time career in Real Estate, John Lewis managed several Enterprise Rent-A-Car locations in the areas of Beaufort, Hilton Head, and Savannah. During his time with Enterprise, John Lewis managed over 100 employees and developed skills in customer service, marketing, and sales.
John Lewis started with Dunes Real Estate in September of 2015, and immediately joined the top sales team at the company. He was mentored for two years by three of the top Realtors in the area, and then started as an individual agent in 2017. He took the valuable lessons learned from his mentors to grow his real estate business the right way. To improve his skills and service he became a graduate of a Ninja Selling Installation (2017), and the Hilton Head Realtor Association's Leadership Academy (2019-2020).
His heritage includes the DuBois family who were some of the original settlers and his Great-Great-Grandfather, Nathan Crosby, built many homes in Old Town Bluffton including the D. Hasell Heyward House on Calhoun Street back in 1914.
