Hello Again! Our team at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, Elliott Coastal Living in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is continuing to grow, and we are back to introduce you to another new agent, Teresa Graham. She grew up in Loris, South Carolina, approximately 35 miles from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Teresa’s father was a contractor, and her mother was a full-time housewife. According to Teresa, she learned a plethora of information on buildings, architecture, and design from her father, who worked on multi-million-dollar building projects. She believes her interest in homes and real estate comes from her father and his passion for the building process.
Teresa attended Tabor City High School in North Carolina, where she played softball and volleyball. When she graduated, she attended Horry-Georgetown Technical College, which is approximately 10 miles east of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and majored in Photography.
After earning her degree, Teresa worked for an Insurance Agency in Loris, South Carolina, approximately 20 miles west of North Myrtle Beach. She worked in the Insurance Agency for years until she decided to take some time off to be a full-time housewife to her husband, Perrin, and stay-at-home mom for her three children: Kayla—now 26; Hunter—now 20; and Tristen, who is currently 14. She also has two “fur babies”—an English Bulldog, Pickles, and a Silver Lab, Bullet.
As Teresa’s children grew older, she began working for the family business Carolina Linen, where her responsibilities included management, payroll, human resources, and accounting. She worked for Carolina Linen for over 15 years.
Teresa enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. Her hobbies include spending time on the beach, paddle boarding, and with her children. Additionally, she has always been interested in photography, home design, and renovating, making the transition to real estate easy for her. Now that Teresa has become a beach real estate agent let’s see how she feels about her business.
Q: Teresa, there are many real estate agencies located in North Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach, and along the Grand Strand, but you chose Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Elliott Coastal Living (BHGRE/ECL). Why?
