SAVANNAH, Ga., May 4, 2020 – Weichert, Realtors® – Coastal Properties is proud to announce the grand opening of its newest office in downtown Savannah, Georgia.
This new location – located at 1711 Price Street in the historic downtown district of Savannah – joins the expanding family of five Weichert, Realtors® – Coastal Properties offices, which also features locations throughout South Carolina in Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Okatie/Sun City, and Beaufort. A grand opening ceremony and ribbon cutting are scheduled for later in 2020 when national health and safety concerns allow it.
“Our goal has always been to bring our top-notch customer service, years of experience, and passion for real estate to the wonderful people in the Savannah market,” said Karen Ryan, the Broker and Co-Owner of Weichert, Realtors® – Coastal Properties. “This new office reinforces our status as the premier real estate company in the Lowcountry region.”
The new venture brings Weichert, Realtors® – Coastal Properties and the Weichert, Realtors – Sumner Group under one roof to become the third-leading Weichert affiliate in the nation. Weichert Realtors Sumner Group has been a part of the Savannah community for over a decade. Owner John Sumner will now focus on building his company, Coastal Development Partners, and property management firm, Marsh Management Services. Sales associate Joan Sumner, John’s mother, is a continuing member of the Savannah Board of Realtors Distinguished Sales Society/Million Dollar club, with an intimate knowledge of the city’s real estate markets from the Historic District to the Islands region.

The new office will be led by Sales Manager Akia White, a Savannah native and longtime Realtor® who joins the company with previous experience as a Broker-in-Charge of another local real estate firm.
