Claude Marthers III can be your navigator in the extremely varied real estate market in South Carolina.
Mr. Marthers is an indigenous native of Winnsboro, South Carolina, Fairfield County, in the ”Midlands” region of the state. The area is also known as the “Old English District”, so called because of the many English land holdings in the area in Revolutionary War days. He graduated from Richard Winn Academy and then received degrees from Wingate College, a BA in Psychology from Clemson University and is certified from Midlands Technical College for systems work.
Claude was in sales for many years and then installed and de-bugged 911 emergency systems for US Homeland Security throughout the Midwest and Eastern Shore. When family obligations required more immediate presence back in Winnsboro, he joined Carolina Real Estate Company and chose to reestablish his home in the countryside of Fairfield County. As a boy and young man, Claude spent hours and days on his antique Harley roaming the lakes, fields and forests of his home state, deepening his love for the land, its creatures and even the smell of a summer rain.
Given his countrified background, Claude fell naturally into a concentration on lake properties, recreational land used for hunting and timber properties. In addition, as a result of the expertise and concentration on historical homes and acreage that is a staple of the Agency, Mr. Marthers also has been involved with many such properties. Finally, significant time spent at his family’s property at Myrtle Beach contributed an understanding of the ways and mores of the “Beach Scene”.
Mr. Marthers draws on his Psychology background in discerning the natural inclination of clients towards subdivision or rural settings and is able to tailor suggestions to clients accordingly (As he says, “In real estate, one size never fits all”!). He also is able to draw on his “Mr. Fixit” skills in guiding property sellers in determining what steps are best to take in preparing a property for listing and sale. His hobbies include Harleys, dogs and spending time at the Beach (in addition to sampling an occasional Margarita with friends).
As a result, if it is buying or selling country homes and acreage, lake properties or a new home in a subdivision, Claude can be your navigator!
Jennifer, a lifelong resident of Fairfield County in the “Midlands” of South Carolina (the “Midlands” is a diverse outdoor residential, recreational and sports area), received a degree in Social Work from Winthrop University.
The “Midlands” is absolutely teeming with hunting and fishing opportunities, dog sports such as obedience and field trial, horse events such as polo, steeplechase and trail riding plus various horse show disciplines. Two of the more noteworthy equine facilities are the 10,000 acre Camden Open Hunt and the South Carolina Equine Park also in Camden.
Jennifer has been an avid horsewoman since she was four years old with her horse show career beginning at the age of five. Since that time, she not only competed in several of the riding disciplines (including trail riding in the beautiful State Parks in and around South Carolina) but also trained and cared for her horses and managed her barn. Through the years she has shared her love for horses by teaching others to ride and care for them; Jennifer is fully aware of the total package it takes to responsibly care for horses. Horses have always been at the center of her life, firm in her belief that they are the loveliest creatures God created.
Jennifer is an outdoors person, enjoying hiking on her own country acreage with her dog, KassiVeda, and relaxing around the fire pit with Kassi and friends on cool starry South Carolina evenings. Jennifer enjoys swimming, kayaking, scuba diving, dog training, volunteering at animal shelters and gardening; her other interests include church, reading, modeling, cooking, cross stitching and writing for both a South Carolina pet magazine and a local newspaper. She and Kassi share happiness by entertaining shut-ins with Kassi’s many tricks!
Jennifer has always enjoyed working with people and seeing them achieve their dreams; United Country/Carolina Real Estate Company provides a continuing way for her to work with people to achieve their dreams. If you are interested in buying or selling a horse property, residential property, recreational property, waterfront property, rural land or a historical home (an agency specialty), Jennifer is here to help!
