Your Personal Real Estate Agent

About I combine the most innovative technology and marketing strategies to find the perfect property for our buyers and to sell listed properties throughout the southeast. I am most proud of the fact that my clients become my friends because I strive to earn their trust and delight in producing results above and beyond their expectations.

Whether you are buying or selling, I look forward to helping you with all of your real estate needs and inquiries.

“My mission has always been a commitment to excellence using knowledge and experience to meet your real estate needs.”

Real Estate History Bobby Raehn (pronounced “ran”) moved from Orlando, Florida to Hilton Head Island thirty-six years ago to take a position with the Sea Pines Real Estate Company. Thus began a successful career representing many of the lowcountry’s real estate pioneer developments such as Melrose, Bloody Point, Indigo Run, Belfair, Berkeley Hall, and, Hampton Hall.

Bobby joined his friends and real estate colleagues at Gateway Realty in 2006. At the end of 2008, some of Bobby’s long-time friends and clients sought his counsel on options to avoid possible foreclosure in the declining economy. Bobby saw the need for an expert in this area and attended The Distressed Property Institute and obtained certification as a Distressed Property Expert. Taking lessons learned from past experience and continuous training makes Bobby the type of top notch agent you will find at Charter One.

Personal Life An avid outdoors man, Bobby has always enjoyed the area’s superb hunting, fishing and golfing opportunities.

Another love of Bobby’s life is his wife, Duchess, whom he met and married after moving to Hilton Head. A talented pianist, she plays professionally in many different venues throughout the Southeast and has released several CD’s which can be found in several local stores and on-line at www.musicbyduchess.com. Duchess and Bobby are the proud parents of four grown sons.
