Seaboard Properties was formed in Florence in 1993 and, with Jay Davis as partner and Broker-in-Charge, subsequently opened a Sumter office in 1997.  Through the addition of exceptional agents and with the support of loyal clients like you, the Sumter office has grown to become the area’s dominant leader of commercial real estate services, and we thank you for your business.  Because of this success and believing in the future of Sumter and the surrounding area as our core market, a partnership group consisting of Jay, Stephen DesChamps, and Stephen Dinkins pursued the purchase of 100% ownership of the Sumter office.  We are delighted to say that this group has successfully negotiated this purchase and recently finalized this transaction.

What does this mean for you, our client?  You’ll only need to call us by a new name and, later this year, we will be in a new location.  Beginning June 1, 2005, we will be Coldwell Banker Commercial Cornerstone.  Therefore, all of our marketing materials (including signage) and office documents will be updated with the new name.  Sometime later this year, we will be moving our office to 2 North Main Street, better known as the former Bank of Sumter Building on the corner of Main and Liberty Streets.  Otherwise, we will still have the same staff of experienced agents and office personnel, so you can expect the same high-level client service that we have built our business upon.  We will retain our affiliations with Coldwell Banker Commercial and the CCIM network (Certified Commercial Investment Member), and will increase our participation in the Carolinas Group, a consortium of all the Coldwell Banker Commercial offices in North and South Carolina.  We are committed to being the absolute best commercial real estate firm in our area by providing unsurpassed experience and specialized service to our clients.
