Rich has been a Hilton Head Island resident for more than 25 years. He has been a top producing real estate broker and his colleagues and business associates respect his hard work, dedication and superior knowledge of the local market. His analytical approach of providing relevant information to his clients is a constant reminder of his client-first mentality. He has worked with clients from all around the world and has sold real estate in almost every community on Hilton Head Island and in Bluffton.

His knowledge of local real estate stems from his experience in the short term vacation rental industry. He is a partner in a multi-million dollar vacation rental company that represented estates in Sea Pines, Palmetto Dunes, Forest Beach, Folly Field, Shipyard and Singleton Beach. Having seen first hand which properties generated the highest return on investment, Mr. Neste's ability to relay this information has enabled clients to buy and sell properties in some of Hilton Head Island's most affluent communities.

He lives on Hilton Head Island with his wife Jill, his 3 children, Richard, Abigail & Ryan and their rescue puppy Otis.
