Vonnie Majewski founded VM Real Estate in 2022, bringing with her decades of commercial real estate experience from across the nation.

She has built a personal and professional brand that is characterized by excellence in real estate brokerage, client responsiveness, and an astute ability to identify, craft, and close on a diverse portfolio of real estate opportunities. She has created a reputation for being one of the most aggressive and effective brokers in the market.

She has represented several national tenants throughout South Carolina and Georgia. These include T-Mobile, Five Guys, Benchmark Physical Therapy, Massage Envy, Dunkin’, Domino’s Pizza, Subway, Pizza Hut, Budget Blinds and Jersey Mikes.

Vonnie’s performance for the past 18 years as a partner with SVN Commercial Real Estate in Hilton Head speaks for itself. She completed nearly $200 million in transaction volume and was recognized as a top producer for SVN International, making the company’s top 100 list every year since 2009. She reached the top 20 in 2020 and was the 11th highest SVN producer in 2021.

Vonnie was personally responsible for negotiating single transactions in excess of 54 million dollars and was honored as one of the “40 Under 40” emerging business leaders in the tri-county area in California just prior to moving to Hilton Head.

Her growth in commercial real estate has been steady and notable. Vonnie handled the site selection and portfolio management for the Prudential Insurance Company of America’s western region. She later managed the site selection for the entire eastern portion of the United States for Countrywide Home Loans. In addition, she headed the real estate department for Fremont General Corporation and its subsidiaries throughout the nation.

After mastering the corporate real estate arena, Vonnie spent some time with the brokerage firm Julien Studley, Inc. in Los Angeles as a tenant representative, negotiating a myriad of transactions throughout the Los Angeles market.

Vonnie left brokerage to become the Vice President of Commercial Properties for the largest developer in Santa Barbara, where she was responsible for a commercial portfolio in excess of 1.6 million square feet. In her role as a corporate executive, Vonnie formed trusted relationships with local business and industry leaders who sought her expertise and partnership.
