Ocean Front Sea Pines is led by Richard Pattisall, a seasoned real estate professional with more than 25 years of experience representing buyers and sellers in Hilton Head Island and Bluffton’s most prestigious communities. Since entering the industry in 1987, Richard has built a reputation grounded in market knowledge, fiduciary integrity, and disciplined representation.
This is not a high-volume brokerage chasing every transaction. Ocean Front Sea Pines is a focused luxury practice serving clients interested in oceanfront estates, deepwater properties, golf course residences, and private club communities — including Palmetto Bluff and Hilton Head Island’s premier neighborhoods.
With decades of local insight, Richard provides clarity in markets where pricing, inventory, and negotiation require precision.

Having a knowledgeable advisor in these markets can be the difference between securing a rare opportunity and missing it.
