John Stillwagon's real estate career started in Maryland in 1971 where he sold real estate, developed land, and provided appraisal services. He began looking at Myrtle Beach for real estate investments in 1984, and started his first community here, Country Manor, in 1985. John Stillwagon has planned and developed dozens of residential communities and multi-purpose commercial properties, centered on providing a good product in a safe environment. John's first real estate broker told him that if he would put the needs of the individuals first and forget about the commission, the dollars would chase him. Practicing that philosophy, John Stillwagon continues to create successful projects.
