Bio: John Hill John the Broker in Charge and owner, began his Real Estate career in 1977 working in New Jersey where he was a top producer in both sales and listings for a period of five years. After vacationing on Hilton Head in the early 80's John decided to relocated to the island in 1982 and continue his Real Estate career. First working for a Brokerage firm where he was the top producing agent in his first two years and then he became the sales manager for the following two years. In 1986 John decided to accept an offer to work for a marketing company selling exclusively, developer new product in the oceanfront Resort of Palmetto Dunes on Hilton Head Island. This proved very valuable because to that point John had only been involved in general brokerage sales. While working in new product developer sales John had the opportunity to market oceanfront homes, lots and condo's, both residential and investment properties. He also sold golf course lots and homes in this private gated community. In 1992 Hilton Head Island was still a world class vacation destination resort, the secondary home and investor market was still booming, but more and more people were relocating to the area as permanent residents. At this point John decided that diversity and having accessibility to all the available property both resale and new developer product was the best way to service and fulfill the needs for both listing and buyer clients. In late 1992 American Real Estate Group opened its doors for business as members of the Hilton Head Island Multiple Listing Service. John is a Life Member of the Million Dollar Distinguished Sales Award, this award is presented each year for outstanding sales achievement.
