“Through all these years, the Daniel Island Company has stuck to their word and remained committed to the legacy of this community,” says Lynn Barber. She knows what she’s talking about. Lynn started working for Daniel Island Real Estate when the project initially kicked off in 1995, and was one of Daniel Island’s earliest residents.

Although Meg Latour and her husband moved to Daniel Island from Washington, D.C., just three years ago, Meg has quickly become as knowledgeable about the town as Lynn. They are working together as a team for Daniel Island Real Estate, and not coincidentally, share a unique philosophy about selling the community. “It’s not about selling houses,” says Lynn. “You must first introduce Daniel Island as a small town, as a lifestyle, before helping clients select the appropriate home,” she continues.

When asked to define the Daniel Island “lifestyle,” they agree the term is difficult to summarize in a few words. Instead, they list a few of their favorite things about Daniel Island, including living five minutes from work, the surrounding marshes and rivers, spontaneous cookouts, the birds, families and neighbors, a specific tree, the convenience, tennis, the serenity, friends (old and new), the proximity to Charleston, the schools, the events and clubs, golf, the trails…and their lists go on and on.

Lynn attributes the town’s success and the evolution of its lifestyle to the community’s master plan, which remains as relevant today as it was 13 years ago. “Because of this, a Daniel Island home is worth much more than the value of a stand alone home.”
