Through their separate experiences prior to joining Daniel Island Real Estate, John Mims and Jordy Schaffner each discovered an appreciation for what makes a successful community. Today, they work together to introduce their clients to the exceptional lifestyle and amenities offered in what they both believe to be the finest community in the southeast.

Originally from South Carolina, John has lived and worked in many coastal communities. Several years ago, while living in Charleston, he met his wife, Bryant. They moved away for three years, all the while fighting the gravitational pull of the charm, friendliness and culture of Charleston.
“When we finally decided to move back, I chose to be part of the Daniel Island team for many of the same reasons that families want to live here, “ John says. “You simply will not find another community that offers the sense of security, friendliness and amenities that Daniel Island offers. Plus, it is part of the greatest amenity in the Southeast – Charleston!”

Happy to be back in Charleston, John spends his free time playing tennis, racquetball and golf, and enjoying the Lowcountry lifestyle with his wife and two young children.

Growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, Jordy experienced the effect real estate development was having on rural areas surrounding Washington’s Capital Beltway and he observed how those communities were creating their own centers to counteract the effects of sprawl. When he arrived in South Carolina he immediately recognized Charleston was following a similar pattern for growth.

Jordy feels fortunate to work in his favorite city at a place that incorporates many of his passions and philosophies. He is an avid amateur golfer who was introduced to the game at a young age by his grandfather. “I’ve traveled to many golfing destinations and I believe the South Carolina coast is one of the top golfing areas in the world,” he says. “The facilities and scenery at the Daniel Island Club just can’t be beat. And combined with everything else the City of Charleston has to offer -- beaches, boating, history, great dining, culture and more – you just can’t find a better place to live.”

Jordy actively supports Special Olympics programs and First Tee of Charleston, a program that helps provide affordable access to golf and utilizes the sport’s unique ability to develop essential values like honesty, integrity, etiquette, sportsmanship, self-esteem and confidence in young people. He graduated with a degree in Science of Business Administration from the College of Charleston.
