Whether you're moving, downsizing, relocating, or simply exploring your options, I'd love to hear your story and help guide you forward.
You want guidance from a trusted expert who truly understands the Myrtle Beach lifestyle.
You’re exploring 55+ communities and want clear support to help choose the right fit.
You’re preparing for a new life season and want the move to feel calm, simple, and supported.
You value faith-led service and want someone who listens, cares, and protects your best interests.
Grande Dunes isn’t just an area I work in, it’s where I live, serve, and do life. From the marina and Intracoastal Waterway to every one of the 22 neighborhoods that make up this community, this ZIP code is home.
I focus my work in 29572 because real estate is most powerful when it’s personal. I know the streets, the lifestyle, the seasonal rhythms, and the nuances that don’t show up on listing sheets, whether you’re looking near the water, east of Kings Highway, or in one of the established communities just minutes from the beach.

This level of focus allows me to guide clients with clarity, honesty, and calm, especially when the decisions are big.

The Myrtle Beach market is shifting, and nowhere is that more evident than in the condo market. Prices are adjusting, inventory is changing, and opportunities are emerging for buyers who are informed and ready.
At the same time, sellers need clear, honest guidance. Not every market moment is about maximizing profit, sometimes it’s about making a smart decision that aligns with your next season of life.
I believe in telling the truth about the market, even when it’s not the easiest conversation. That’s how trust is built, and how my clients make confident, well-timed decisions.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply watching the market, my role is to help you understand what’s happening and what it means for you.
Real estate is what I do... serving people is who I am.
My church family, my home, and my community are all within the same area I serve every day. It’s not uncommon for me to drive my golf cart to church or run into clients while supporting local events. This isn’t a marketing angle, it’s life.
I also serve as part of Mended Hearts, a chapter of the American Heart Association, supporting individuals and families navigating cardiac surgery and recovery. Our group volunteers at Grand Strand Hospital, one of the nation’s top trauma centers for cardiac care.
This work has given me a deep respect for healthcare professionals and hospital staff, many of whom are also buyers, sellers, and neighbors within this community.


Those who care for others deserve the same level of care when making important life decisions.
I’m proud to support hospital staff, medical professionals, and caregivers who are buying or selling homes in the Grand Strand area. I understand the demands of your schedule, the weight of your work, and the importance of clear, respectful communication.
My goal is to make the process calm, efficient, and supportive, so you can focus on what matters most.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply watching the market, my role is to help you understand what’s happening and what it means for you.
Thank you for spending time here and allowing me to share a bit of my story, my work, and the community I’m honored to serve.
Whether you’re buying, selling, downsizing, or stepping into a new season of life, you deserve guidance that leads with integrity, clarity, and heart.
When you’re ready, I would be honored to walk alongside you.


My journey has always been rooted in faith, compassion, and community. Whether I’m helping someone find their next home, holding the hand of a cardiac patient at Grand Strand Hospital, or welcoming our church family on Sunday, my purpose is the same:
Serve people where they are.
Love them through their journey.
Support them into their next beautiful chapter.
Buying or selling a home is one of life’s most meaningful transitions, and you deserve someone who sees the heart behind the move, not just the paperwork.

Marihelen’s faith has been shaped by personal health challenges, including two open-heart surgeries.
She lives with a Medtronic pacemaker and a St. Jude Medical heart valve, experiences that have
deepened her compassion and understanding for others navigating major life transitions.

Marihelen was great to work with she was very knowledgeable and I would recommend her again to anyone who is selling a home. She was on top of the whole process and always kept me in the loop on all aspects of the sale.

We explained to Marihelen what our preferences were and where we wanted to look. She scheduled the appointments quickly and worked even faster for us when the condo we wanted had and offer. We succeeded in obtaining exactly what we wanted!

Marihelen is a great person to work with. Her willingness to listen and work ethic is top notch. We contacted her about a condo we own with questions on management. Her suggestions and contacts were spot on.
Whether you're buying, selling, downsizing, or stepping into a new season of life, you deserve a guide who leads with heart, expertise, and faith.
If you're considering Myrtle Beach real estate or exploring homes in Grande Dunes, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
