Lisa Swearingen Sales Executive Lisa Swearingen is an invigorating asset to the sales team at Southbridge Realty. Her background is in the home improvement business. After graduating from UNC Chapel Hill and living in Charlotte NC for three years, she moved her family to Savannah, GA to open a window and siding business. She finds it hard to believe she has lived in Southbridge for almost 12 years! They chose Southbridge because it was a beautiful golf course and amenity community with very affordable fees. Driving through Southbridge, the very first time, gave the Swearingen's, the true neighborhood feeling they were looking for. The proximity to the interstate, the beautiful custom homes, and the reasonable club dues, made Southbridge the perfect fit for their family. Since then, she sold the window company and decided to stay home for a few years with her two beautiful children, Charles (11) and Brooke (8). When she felt it was time for her to re-enter the workplace, she decided to get her real estate license. Being very active in the community, she was always "selling" Southbridge! On the tennis courts, at the golf club, or with the kids at their functions, when someone wants to move into the neighborhood, she's selling Southbridge. On several occasions, she knew of homes coming on the market and would find a buyer just through good old fashioned word of mouth. That's when she decided to make it a career! Her parents, Clay and Margaret Jennings, moved into Southbridge 3 years ago. They were eager to be close to their grandchildren as her dad nears retirement. Believe it or not, he STILL works in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and commutes weekly since it is very convenient to fly in and out of our airport. Many families in Southbridge have immediate family close by. Southbridge simply has something for everyone! Living and working in Southbridge gives Lisa the knowledge and experience of the history, growth and future of our neighborhood. She welcomes the opportunity to help you and anyone you know, discover Southbridge!! Lisa Swearingen 912-651-5400 office 912-656-0663 cell lswearingen@southbridgesav.com
