When the phone rang, it was the last thing Wade Fairey ever expected. But the offer presented him was too good to pass up...

Wade views his role as that of a consultant, guiding his clients to successful transactions.

It was shortly after graduating from college, and Wade – a craftsman his entire life – had set his sights on building a furniture business. But after doing some restoration work for Historic Brattonsville, his high standards so impressed the Board of Directors, that when the position of Executive Director opened, they knew exactly who to call. Wade accepted that position, and in the process, became not only an expert on York County, South Carolina, but also a fixture on the local landscape and a well-trusted community icon.

A Tradition of Excellence Begins
For nearly 20 years, Wade served as Executive Director of the York County Historical Commission as well as Historic Brattonsville, growing the facility from the ground up. It was a role that required him to be a jack of all trades – planning business strategies one minute, welcoming guests to the museum the next; overseeing the entire operation while lending his hands-on approach to any job that needed to be done.

In the process, Wade made many lifelong friends, educated thousands of visitors about York County history and earned a reputation for being a true leader in the community. He also established a tradition of providing only the best in personal service to everyone with whom he came in contact. “Being able to work with people and expose them to this wonderful part of the world was very rewarding,” Wade says. “I learned so much about the area, I feel like I know as much about life in York County as anyone.”

Together with his son, Wade Jr., Wade enjoys breeding American Saddlebreds here in York County.

A New Challenge
It’s that intimate local knowledge, combined with his low-key personality and proven business savvy, that has allowed Wade to earn his place as a premier York County real estate professional specializing in land and fine homes. When you work with Wade toward finding the perfect parcel of land or the ideal home for your family, you’re working with a local expert who knows the subtle nuances in every piece of property – a man who grew up in South Carolina and has dedicated his life to preserving the traditions that mean so much to him. “I’ve been on every back road in York County,” Wade says with a smile. “I love this area and I strive to reflect my devotion to the area and its people in my work.”
