MEET LAUREN + CHRIS 👋
We’ve welcomed quite a few new faces around here lately, so we thought it was time for a proper reintroduction.
We’re Lauren + Chris Dion, the husband-and-wife team behind the at Akers Ellis Real Estate & Rentals.
We work together. We live together. We talk about real estate at dinner more often than we probably should. 😅 And somehow, we still really like each other.
But beyond the listings, closings and market conversations, what we love most about what we do is helping people find their version of the Lowcountry.
For some, that’s an oceanfront villa where the beach is steps away. For others, it’s a Kiawah home designed for generations of family memories, a quiet waterfront retreat, an investment opportunity, or simply a place that makes it a little harder to leave on Sunday afternoon.
Luxury real estate is about more than a price point. It’s about understanding lifestyle, location, timing and opportunity—and having someone in your corner who understands the nuances of the market.
That’s where we come in.
We know Kiawah. We know the surrounding Lowcountry. We know the market. And yes, we probably know which route to take when everyone else is sitting in traffic. 😉
Whether you’ve been following us for years, recently found us, are dreaming about owning on Kiawah, or are simply here because you enjoy the palm trees and pretty houses—welcome. We’re glad you’re here.
And if we haven’t met yet, say hello in the comments. 👋
