Stephen L. Dinkins, Jr. joined Coldwell Banker Commercial Cornerstone in August of 2000 and became a partner in March of 2005. 

Stephen’s real estate career began in 1998 with a family partnership focused on residential development.  Since then, he has concentrated primarily on two aspects of commercial real estate, raw land development and retail brokerage.  Through this experience, he has built an impressive resume of both residential and commercial developments. 

Stephen brings a large amount of energy and enthusiasm to every transaction.  He has continued to grow in his knowledge as an agent by pursing his CCIM designation and taking other continuing education classes to help him assist clients.

A 1997 graduate of the University of South Carolina with a degree in Business Administration, Stephen began his professional career as a commercial insurance agent with Lee & Associates in Sumter.  Following this, he joined his father with the residential development corporation and operating a local small business.  This experience and the relationships he developed during this time led him to Cornerstone.

As a life-long resident of Sumter, Stephen has the market knowledge, experience, and determination to help both sellers and potential buyers survey the commercial market and make intelligent, informed decisions.

Stephen currently lives in downtown Sumter with his wife, Sarah, and two children, Rainey & Asa.  He stays involved with the community through civic organizations and his church.  He is a member of the Sumter Rotary Club as well as a third generation member of the local Kiwanis Club.  He is active in his home church of First Baptist, Sumter.
