Crystal Akers

“Owing your own home is life’s biggest luxury.”

Southern born and raised, Crystal finds inspiration exploring the extensive waterways of the Golden Isles by boat with family, fur babies and friends. It’s in the restorative nature of silence that she finds her ability to reset for what she enjoys most: applying her 20 years real estate experience in helping her clients make the most important purchase of their lives—a place they can call home. Homeownership she believes, is a core component of the American dream. She approaches real estate like she does life, with a great sense of humor, a touch of sarcasm and an ability to see the silver lining, inspiring others to do the same.

Kelly Ross

“Maintaining a positive mindset and my family is life’s greatest luxury.”

Growing up as a third-generation realtor on St Simons Island, Kelly learned from a young age, that the real estate business is all about helping people, dependability, integrity, quality of service, support, and teamwork. This approach continues to guide her today. When she’s not following her beliefs by working hard, doing good and helping people, she can be found enjoying time with her family and friends. Having served as a Congressional Aide on Capitol Hill and throughout her home district in Georgia before launching her real estate career, Kelly has a natural interest and talent in not only finding those exclusive luxury homes, but also the contractual side of her work. She loves working with first-time home buyers who are just as enthusiastic as she is.

Erin Vaughn

“Life’s greatest luxury is time and attention.”

Erin Vaughn is one half of the dynamic mother-daughter team known locally as “The Listing Pros.” She specializes in residential and land sales, is a multi-milliondollar producer and recently was appointed as 2023 Golden Isles Association of Realtors President.

Erin was named the 2017 Realtor of the Year by the Golden Isles Association of Realtors (GIAR) and she is also a Life Member of the Circle of Excellence as a Top Producer. She’s very active in our community and when Erin not spending time with her family in the Golden Isles, she enjoys coaching softball, or volunteering.

Stephanie Webb

“Life’s greatest luxury is spending time with loved ones and appreciating every moment you have, because life is short.”

Stephanie Webb is Erin Vaughn’s mother and the other half of “the Listing Pros” duo. Stephanie admires good architecture and beautiful homes. She draws on the potential of each house and the feelings it evokes as her inspiration when she lists and advertises a home or is searching for a potential buyer.

Being service minded, Stephanie says her reward lies in helping her clients achieve their goals while she provides the needed expertise to make their real estate journey stress-free and can share in their joy when they find their perfect home. She is a Life Member of the Circle of Excellence as an Oglethorpe Level Top Producer and has earned accolades as a member of the Chairman’s Circle Gold as an agent in the Top 2% of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nationwide.

George Skarpalezos II

“A stress-free lifestyle is life’s biggest luxury.”

George Skarpalezos II calls himself a bulldog, not only because he’s a fan of the Bulldogs and played rugby for University of Georgia, but due to his tenacity and “never say die” attitude when representing his clients. Backed by more than 20 years of experience, real estate is more than a calling for George, it’s part of his DNA and runs in the family. George specializes in the high-end St Simons luxury market and has a knack for finding niche homes that can double as a secondary home vacation rental or investment property. Having a proven track record of reliability and complete dedication to his clients’ success, as well as the ability to educate his clients has proven to be George’s recipe for success. This has helped earn him several local, regional, and national accolades.
