A Lowcountry Legacy Built on Care, Connection, and Community Leadership
Pam Harrington's story is of unwavering dedication, deep roots in the South Carolina Lowcountry, and a remarkable ability to cultivate lasting relationships. After graduating from the University of Virginia, Pam began her professional life in the demanding yet rewarding field of intensive care nursing. This foundation instilled in her a profound sense of empathy and a commitment to serving others. This spirit of care would define her business success and extend into her extensive community involvement.
In 1978, Pam's entrepreneurial vision took shape with the establishment of Pam Harrington Exclusives. Recognizing the burgeoning potential of Kiawah Island, she initially focused on villa rentals. "I established Pam Harrington Exclusives for the sole purpose of renting villas on the fledgling resort island of Kiawah," she explains. This early focus allowed her to forge invaluable connections within the community.
Within five years, those connections blossomed into a thriving real estate business, predominantly on Kiawah Island. "Within five years or so, through lasting relationships, I began to sell real estate predominantly on Kiawah Island," Pam recalls. This organic growth, fueled by trust and personalized service, is a testament to Pam's innate ability to understand and meet the needs of her clients.
From this solid foundation, Pam Harrington Exclusives has flourished. Today, the company is a testament to Pam's vision and dedication. "From there, the business has grown and expanded to where we are today," she proudly states. Pam and her dedicated staff continue to provide "the utmost in personalized service — to every customer or client." This enduring commitment to individual attention ensures that every interaction with Pam Harrington Exclusives is marked by professionalism, integrity, and a genuine desire to exceed expectations.
Beyond her business acumen, Pam has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the Charleston community through her extensive service on numerous boards and organizations. Her dedication to improving the lives of others is evident in her involvement with organizations such as Hospice of Charleston, the MUSC Department of Orthopedics, and the Barrier Islands Free Medical Clinic.
Her commitment to civic responsibility is further exemplified by her 30 years of service on the Accommodations Tax board, her five years on the CTAR board, and several years on Professional Standards. Pam has also contributed to the cultural landscape of Charleston through her involvement with the Dock Street Theatre and the Charleston Symphony. Her dedication to community development is shown through her work with Habitat for Humanity and Johns Island’s Charleston Collegiate School.
