Join us on Tuesday, April 14th, at 9:00 am, to hear from featured guest speaker Sharon Dudley and meet other female entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, business owners, and professionals to network, learn, and collaborate.

Curious about what’s really happening in the Myrtle Beach market—and whether owning a piece of the coast could be part of your future?

Join us for a 20-minute insider session with the owner of North Beach Realty, a trusted expert in oceanfront properties, resort-style second homes, investment opportunities, and new construction along The Grand Strand.

She’ll share a current snapshot of the market, emerging opportunities, and what buyers (and investors) need to know right now—whether you’re dreaming of a beachfront escape, exploring income-generating properties, or simply want to understand the trends shaping this vibrant coastal community.

If the idea of blending lifestyle, legacy, and smart investment speaks to you… this is a conversation you won’t want to misseds, lifestyle, and financial goals.

After years of vacationing along the Grand Strand, Sharon Dudley didn’t just fall in love with the coast—she made it home. Today, as a full-time REALTOR® and Resort & Second Home Property Specialist, she helps others do the same.

With over a decade of experience across North Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach, Surfside, Garden City, and Murrells Inlet, Sharon blends local insight with a genuine passion for people. Known for her attentive approach and ability to truly listen, she guides clients through buying, selling, and investing with confidence and care—turning coastal dreams into real opportunities.
