Hampton Roberts earns internationally recognized designation for performance in luxury real estate

Hampton Roberts with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage in Pawleys Island, SC has recently earned the coveted Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist™ (CLHMS™) designation from The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. This accolade underscores Hampton’s expertise and proficiency in the upper-tier market and proven performance in this niche sector.

The CLHMS designation is recognized as the mark of accomplishment in luxury real estate markets; this achievement proves that recipients are true professionals in this sector. To receive the CLHMS recognition, an agent must meet specific criteria, including completion of rigorous training and demonstrating a proven track record in the upper-tier property market.

“Attaining the CLHMS designation is a significant accomplishment and testament to Hampton’s dedication to providing the best service possible to clients in the luxury residential sector,” commented Kathleen Bibbins, Director of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. “The CLHMS “seal” is a symbol of distinction. Affluent buyers and sellers from around the world look for this symbol of knowledge, expertise and performance when putting their trust in a real estate professional.”

The specialized training and ongoing membership with The Institute provide Hampton with the knowledge and tools to better serve clients. The CLHMS designation provides evidence of successful commitment to service at the highest level. “While numbers are always important in this business, the main thing that clients remember after a transaction has closed is the experience they had and the service they received. My goal is to always be a positive memory for every person that I work with, no matter the circumstances of the transaction,” said Hampton.

Hampton is known for his client-first philosophy and collaborative approach. He views real estate not as sales but as partnership, advocating for buyers and sellers through meaningful milestones and helping them make confident, well-guided decisions. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the business, he brings a legacy mindset, a relationship-driven work ethic, and expertise spanning residential, commercial, and investment properties.
