Who We Are

Judy Drew Fairchild is a real estate agent, a writer and photographer, and a certified South Carolina Master Naturalist. Judy is passionate about the island and the community. She tries hard not to step foot off the island unless it is absolutely necessary. She manages the calendar for the island turtle team, does occasional school group tours, and helps with environmental programming. Judy has written a guide to Dewees Island and a field instruction manual for the turtle team. She learns something new every time she comes to the island.

Judy and her husband Reggie own a home on Dewees Island, SC and enjoy the community’s many wonders. They are involved with a number of environmental and other programs on the island, including the Turtle Team, annual bird and alligator counts, the Archives Committee and much more. Reggie was a founding board member of the Dewees Island Conservancy. Reggie serves as a volunteer with Dewees Public Safety Department. Together, Judy and Reggie write a blog about the island.

Emily Watson is a real estate agent. She helps us keep the wheels on and headed in the write direction.

Why Buy and Sell with us?

We know the island, and we love it here. We spend summers and most weekends on the island, and we believe it is the best community around. Our kids know the secrets of the island, from pulling fiddlers from pluff mud to fishing for sheepshead, to where the owl babies rock in the treetops, to what bobcat tracks look like… and we believe that Dewees gives them a way to be kids and interact with the natural world that has all but vanished from modern society. We want to communicate the unique nature of Dewees with the best, most creative marketing materials we can use.

Why rent with us?

We know the island.  We understand what it takes to manage the logistics of being on the island, from golf cart maintenance to wildlife photography to crabbing to enjoying the beach.  We are usually on the island when you arrive, and we will give you a personal guided tour to introduce you to this beautiful place, teaching you about how to live lightly here.  We can connect you with all sorts of resources on the mainland because we are here year-round.  If you are an owner with a home to rent, you’ll rest easy in the knowledge that we are here when you need us, and we will make sure your guests have the information they need to make their visit to the island a great one.
