Meet the Team

James “Jim” D Patton » President/Owner and Broker in Charge
Jim moved from Atlanta, Georgia to Columbia, South Carolina in 1971, with his wife and daughter, upon entering the US Air Force, stationed at Shaw Air Force Base on active duty until 1973. During his term of duty, he attended the University of South Carolina.

After leaving the service, he returned to Atlanta and soon found that he missed the pace of life South Carolina offered. He returned in 1976, accepted a position with a local property management firm, which went back to 1912, received his first Real Estate license and attended several courses through the Institute of Real Estate Management, IREM. He is a life member of The American Business Club, AMBUCS, a past Boy Scout leader, and is the father of four.
Peggy C Patton » Senior Vice President and Human Resource Manager
Peg wears many hats, yes, you guessed it, she is Jim’s wife, and in addition to helping with various and sundry tasks she acts as a logistics consultant for the company.

She relocated to Columbia in 1983 and has an extensive background in the legal and banking industries. Perhaps that explains why she’s such a stickler for detail.

She enjoys golfing, Gamecock football and basketball, reading and gardening. They are pet parents to 2 beautiful Shih Tzu.
Hannah Kinsey » Property Manager
Hannah was born and raised in Cayce SC, where she graduated from Brookland-Cayce High school. She attended the University of South Carolina and began her career in property management in April of 2018. Her favorite part of working in property management is that no day is the same.

Hannah enjoys spending her free time with her daughter and her sphynx cat. She can often be found at the beach.
Anslie Smith » Property Manager and Real Estate Agent
Anslie recently decided to expand her wings and focus more on property management. She began her career in property management in February 2017.

Jim & Peggy’s Two Children
Picture of Noiree Marie

We would like for you to meet our two little furbabies.

This is Noiree Marie, a Shih Tzu, born April 24, 2018 and she only knows two speeds, full speed ahead or a dead stop. She loves to play, go for rides in the car, and watch TV; her favorites are golf, the dog shows, and cartoons. So yes, we have fallen head over heels in love with her. She’s our angel!



Suki Shu

And our newest Shih Tzu is this beautiful little one, what a heart throb, Suki Shu, who came to us via way of rehoming. Suki was born November 17, 2020. Not only is she beautiful, she too is an angel and so smart and if that’s not enough, she is actually our little girl Noiree’s half-sister. They are so much fun together; it is amazing to watch them playing.
