Pam Harrington Exclusives (PHE), the Lowcountry’s premier independent luxury real estate brokerage specializing in Kiawah Island real estate, is pleased to announce the addition of Jenny Bernard to its team of island specialists, effective May 24, 2026. Bernard brings four decades of personal ties to Kiawah Island and deep roots in luxury golf course communities — further strengthening PHE’s ability to serve buyers and sellers across Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, and Johns Island.
For Bernard, the move represents a homecoming decades in the making. She first visited Kiawah Island in 1984 and returned in the early 2000s with her children, knowing then that she wanted to make the sea islands their home. That connection has shaped her relationship with the community ever since.
Real estate, meanwhile, has always been close to home. Bernard’s father was a real estate developer whose work included celebrated golf course communities and clubs across the East Coast, among them the Robert Trent Jones Club in Virginia, Treyburn Country Club in North Carolina, and projects connected to Hope Valley Country Club in Durham. Jenny later became involved with Essex County Club outside Boston, further deepening her familiarity with private club communities and lifestyle-driven residential markets.
Growing up around thoughtfully planned residential and golf communities gave her an early understanding of the qualities that continue to define Kiawah Island today: intentional design, world-class amenities, and enduring value.

Bernard began her real estate career as a sales associate at a master-planned waterfront community on Johns Island, gaining firsthand knowledge of the Sea Islands and the lifestyle that draws buyers to this coast — the natural beauty, the privacy, and the sense of community that sets these islands apart. She went on to build a broader practice across the Charleston luxury market, guiding buyers and sellers through transactions spanning Charleston, Mount Pleasant, and the surrounding Lowcountry coast. A REALTOR and graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Bernard also holds a Master’s Degree in Education from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Bernard serves buyers and sellers across:
- Kiawah Island
- Seabrook Island
- Johns Island
- Charleston and Mount Pleasant
When she’s not working with clients on Kiawah Island real estate, you’ll find her cheering on her alma mater, the UNC Tar Heels, teaching yoga, biking the island’s trails with her family or on the golf course — living the lifestyle she helps others discover.
“Master-planned developments have been part of my story since childhood — watching my father build communities that people genuinely loved living in,” Bernard said. “Kiawah has had my heart since 1984, and joining Pam Harrington Exclusives feels like a very natural next step.”
Bernard joins a brokerage that has specialized in Kiawah Island luxury real estate for nearly five decades. Founded in 1978, Pam Harrington Exclusives operates as a fully independent, MLS-affiliated brokerage — offering buyers and sellers unbiased guidance across Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, and Johns Island, independent of any developer affiliation. Founder Pam Harrington is ranked an MLS agent on Kiawah Island — a distinction that reflects nearly 48 years of market leadership and an unmatched depth of transactional knowledge on the island.
“We are very selective about who joins this team, and Jenny is exactly the kind of agent we look for knowledgeable, client-focused, and genuinely connected to the communities she serves,” said Pam Harrington, founder of Pam Harrington Exclusives. “Her relationship with Kiawah goes back forty years. That kind of connection carries real value for buyers.”
