Welcome to the Lowcountry. I am a lifelong resident of Beaufort and an owner of Lowcountry Real Estate. During my fifteen years in this role, I have sold a variety of deep water properties and homes, developed several residential neighborhoods, and brokered numerous commercial transactions.
I am personable and outgoing and enjoy sharing my Lowcountry life experiences (go to www.johntraskbeaufort.com/areainfo.html for a look at my Lowcountry lifestyle). More importantly, I am a good listener who will understand your real estate and lifestyle desires. Follow through, organization and a thorough understanding of the market help set me apart.
My wife, Laura, and I have been married for nineteen years. We have three children Isabelle,17, Peter,12, and Josephine,9. Needless to say, I am familiar with the schools, recreational and cultural activities, and history of our area. I am a third generation Beaufortonian and grew up on a farm on St. Helena Island.
My hobbies are boating, hunting, reading, and spending time with my family. I went to high school in Virginia, did a postgraduate year in England, and graduated from Vanderbilt University in 1987. After college, I worked for Riggs National Bank in Washington DC and then owned a wholesale florist in Memphis,Tenessee. Of course Beaufort was where I always wanted to raise my family, and we moved back in 1995.
I hope that you will visit and see for yourself why I think Beaufort and her surrounding islands are an ideal place to raise your family, retire, or start a business.
