Stephanie was born on Hilton Head Island and lived the first few years of her life in Sea Pines. Her father’s successful banking career moved her family to Columbia, SC, Atlanta, GA, Potomac, MD and Chattanooga, TN until landing in Dallas, TX for college. In the midst of all the relocations, Hilton Head Island became “home” to Stephanie while spending many summers living in Sea Pines. After 4 college years being landlocked in Dallas, Stephanie desired to go back home, to Hilton Head Island. She began her career at a local insurance agency working her way from entry level service position to a department manager. But after 5 years in the insurance industry, she deciding it was time for a career change. Stephanie has a strong desire for constant educational growth leading her to obtain a real estate license and Broker-in-Charge status, while keeping her insurance license. After working for a mid-sized property management company, she decided it was time to step out on her own to open a vacation rental & real estate company, named Beachside Hilton Head Island. Over the proceeding 14 years, she grew Beachside Hilton Head Island organically, focusing solely on rental properties in Sea Pines. In 2018 her husband, Todd, retired from his successful banking career to work alongside of her. In 2022, Stephanie & Todd sold the vacation rental portion of their business, keeping the real estate division. After a 9-month sabbatical to tour the country in their RV, Stephanie & Todd returned to the island to focus on their real estate career and their newly named real estate business, Chandler Hoke Real Estate. Due to Stephanie’s knowledge of Sea Pines real estate and vacation rentals, combined with Todd’s expertise in lending, Stephanie & Todd are uniquely positioned to assist buyers searching for investment properties in Sea Pines.

Like many residents of Hilton Head Island, Todd is a transplant from Ohio. After receiving his undergraduate degree, Todd went in search of a job focusing solely on coastal towns along the east coast where he could enjoy his favorite pastime, surfing. A banking job presented itself, and although he had never been to Hilton Head Island, with the enthusiasm he displays in all aspects of life, he packed up and moved south…and has not left the island since. Todd worked up the ranks in the banking industry starting as a Commercial Analyst and retiring as Chief Credit Officer upon the sale of a local community bank which he helped start. Todd stepped away from the banking industry to assist his wife, Stephanie, grow her vacation rental company, Beachside Hilton Head Island. With this change he obtained his real estate license and Realtor designation. In 2022, Todd & Stephanie decided to sell the vacation rental portion of their business and set out on a 9-month adventure in their RV around the country. After returning to the island, Todd & Stephanie dedicated their focus to growing their real estate company, newly named Chandler Hoke Real Estate. Anyone who knows Todd will agree he is a “number’s guy”. He appreciates the insights gained by ongoing data analysis, which he combines with his lending experience to provide valuable guidance for investment property purchases. Todd enjoys building relationships with his clients and helping them find their perfect investment property.
