About Chris McSwain

I have a passion for helping others.

In 2020, after eight years of care-giving, my wife and I both lost our mothers; feeling (understandably) untethered from the world at large, we sold our house, bought a 40 foot long motorhome, and hit the road. We supported two small businesses while we traveled – no easy feat in the best of times, even more difficult during a global pandemic.

During our travels we visited cities and towns across America, and we had the opportunity to explore our great country.  We had the luxury of seeing nearly every part of America – up close and personal.

What we discovered was that our long simmering passion – as Charleston natives – for the Lowcountry was reinforced, and we knew that we wanted to return to the area permanently.  Fripp Island, in particular, is a place that we are excited to call home, and to become an integral part of the community.

I recognize that I am just one part of the great teams I have served in my career. In addition, I have enjoyed being surrounded with some of our best leaders – both in the U.S. and abroad. With a lot of hard work, I have been recognized as a global thought leader with an enviable track record of success across a wide range of industries, company sizes and business conditions.

I am known for creating innovative, groundbreaking, and industry leading solutions for highly complex business, employee, and cultural challenges; I feel that Berkshire Hathaway Home Services and the Bay Street Realty Group offer the best opportunities for me, and for my clients, and being a Fripp Island real estate professional is my next career calling.
