Your Trusted Golden Isles Real Estate Advisor


For 20 Years, I’ve Been Helping Families Move Forward

Hundreds of Closed Transactions, One Unwavering Standard of Care.

Dewey 'DJ' Snipes, Real Estate Advisor on the Georgia coast
Why Work With Me

Two Decades of Experience. One Standard of Care.


I’m DJ Snipes — a Real Estate Advisor with Engel & Völkers Golden Isles, and a St. Simons Island resident who has spent 20 years helping families buy, build, and sell on the Georgia coast.

Real estate here isn’t one job — it’s several. Over hundreds of closed transactions I’ve represented new-construction buyers at the builder’s table, listed and sold island homes, walked raw acreage and development tracts, and helped investors read a deal before they signed it. I know how builders price, how island inventory moves, and where a buyer or seller can win.

I’m also a Navy veteran, so serving VA buyers and FLETC relocations is personal to me. Whatever your move looks like, my promise is the same: show up on time, tell the truth, and finish the mission.

Buying & Selling

Island cottages to in-town homes: I help you search smart, price strategically, negotiate well, and close with the global reach of Engel & Völkers behind you.

What Clients Say


Hundreds of closed transactions, one unwavering standard of care — here’s what a few of those families have to say.

“DJ took the time to truly understand my lifestyle and what I wanted. Because I was living hours away during the build, he went above and beyond — regular video and photo updates that made me feel completely connected. If you want an agent who genuinely listens and keeps you informed every step of the way, DJ is the person to call.”

Sherri Durfee

Relocated from Atlanta · New construction

“Working with Dewey was one of the best decisions we made during our home-building journey. He made us aware of a nearly one-acre private lot we didn’t even know was available — the perfect place to build our forever home. Dependable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping us.”

Joshua & Sarah Wood

Building their forever home

“We really cannot say enough good stuff about him. He went above and beyond — professional and pleasant not only when things were going good, but when things were going bad. When we sell this house, he will be our guy!”

Shannon Smith

Brunswick, GA · New home buyer

“I’ve worked alongside DJ in new construction for 10 years — an exceptional professional with a strong work ethic and deep industry knowledge. His clients trust him because he is knowledgeable, transparent, and genuinely invested in helping them find the right home.”
