We came to Surfside Beach from upstate New York to find a second home for the winter months. Jean Schmaus was referred to us by a New York agency. Jean picked us up at our hotel and within minutes we felt very welcomed and comfortable. Even though we weren't looking at high dollar realty she treated us like millionaires. With us closing out of state Jean was instrumental throughout the closing process. To top it off she even had the heat turned up for our arrival. Jean is a true professional and comes highly recommended by us.

While on vacation in Surfside Beach in 1997, I decided to purchase a condo. By happenstance, I walked into a real estate office where Jean Schmaus was working. It was by design that over the next 16 years I purchased and sold that condo and purchased and sold an upsale home with Jean. Jean Schmaus listens to her clients. How refreshing! I told Jean my price range, my absolute needs in the property I was purchasing as well as my list of "wish to have" items. I never had to repeat myself. This was so appealing to me as in the past Realtors always "reached" for higher price ranges and they would pull listings that didn't have my criteria. Purchasing both my condo, and then my home, was a lovely experience, thanks to Jean because she respected my needs and wishes. When the time came to sell my condo, Jean was a consummate professional at all times. Jean listened and heeded my needs in that sale, and then in return in purcahsing my new home. Jean ended up being the selling and purchasing agent for the sale of my condo. She ensured all conversations between she and the buyer and seller were kept confidential. Amazing, the skill, competence and character of such a highly trained professional. When I decided to sell my home in 2013 Jean knew wheat needed to be done to get the best price in this market. Working with Jean is an absolute pleasure. Jean was always in contact via phone, fax and email and I could always reach her. Jean made me feel like I was her only client. You cannot go wrong if you have Jean Schmaus as your Agent!
